A House Finch and a Cardinal, sitting on a feeder, look in the same direction presumably as a result of hearing a sound
Dahhhh I heard that!

Was visited by an Osprey tonight while taking photos. Sadly, I did not have my telephoto lens on at the time.

The sun sets over a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. The colors were this vivid in person.
Love the colors that came around tonight's sunset

Good catch - I caught it as I hit "Post" but it was too late and I didn't want to delete it and start over again (on account of, well, laziness)
An "edit" function would be a nice upgrade

Going through my camera roll from Saturday and found this

It's raining so no outdoor pics of Roxy today, but here's a throwback from October or November when Roxy was "helping" me with a fundraising project.
She totally became an office dog during COVID work-from-home.

A bunch of tech bros underestimating/dismissing soft power - and actually misunderstanding the concept of "soft power" itself? Shocking! But not surprising.
The two latest examples of "hard power" by the US - Iran and ICE operations in Minneapolis - have not gone well for the hard power advocates.

Pink blooms on a tree along a road in my development
Stopped to take some pictures of some flowers on my way back from my walk this morning
This feels like a very "Spring" picture

This morning's sunrise from the beach as a cold front was coming through
The wind off the water picked up significantly after this

A playground space in my neighborhood
The stream that runs under the playground
A station for "fun" for adults.
Slides probably added by an Elder Millenial trying to "teach valuable lessons" and "build character"
This playground in my neighborhood has always fascinated me
- it's built over a stream
- they included a torture rack I mean exercise station for adults
- the slides must be the idea of an #eldermillennial like me to spread the joy of a metal slide in the glaring 🌞

It's a fascinating, and I think, under-realized, twist. Potentially multilayered.
If you take it a step further, by using something loosely associated with Greenland - it possibly subconsciously drives Trump's rage at NATO after they didn't help in blockading Iran.
But, I may be overanalyzing it.

A cargo ship sailing on the Chesapeake Bay, as viewed from the shore. A small pleasure craft passes between the camera and the ship.
Decided to test my new lens RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM today.
This ship was in the middle of the Bay, so several miles away.
I think the lens passed.

A sunset over a tributary feeding the Chesapeake Bay. More orange than red in this one.
A sunset over a tributary feeding the Chesapeake Bay. Slightly darker, drawing closer to red than orange.
An orange sunrise over a beach on the Chesapeake Bay.
A red sunrise over a beach on the Chesapeake Bay.
I've noticed that for sunrise/sunset pics, orange hues seem to get more reaction than red.
Which do you prefer?
Orange?
Red?
Please comment/repost. I'd like as many opinions as possible.
