It’s not my garden, so I’ll be sure to file a complaint to the owner on the bird’s behalf! It’s also quite possible he was just getting tired of seeing that idiot with the camera again.
Got a tip for us?

Friends got married over the weekend. Took that photo at the worst possible angle with an iPhone 12 Pro and after some cropping and editing, it's now their official wedding photo since they had no professional photographers
I often get that feeling when I'm visiting a local community garden here, and see the birds scatter away from me.
Exiting the Path
Long Beach Washington. Man and his four legged friend passed me on the path to the beach.

Some peaceful green space (in Harrison Hot Springs, BC), with a lovely view (of Harrison Lake). Oh to be there, doing that about now!! Camera on my same old, done that so many times, iPad Mini 4.
I pulled into my yard one day to see no less than 30 deer milling around. I was shocked! The more I could see the more I saw. I thought it was a party, there were so much deer there. Prior to this, the most I had seen were five. So six times the max, until then.
I expected to see a semi truck offloading them, or a UFO lowering them down in a ray of gravity, or a keg and a boombox and dancing and carousing. I was stunned. AND, I've never seen more than two or three since. No idea what happened...
Tangent for wild wildlife sightings: I pulled in about six years ago and saw over 150 geese milling around in the yard. They looked at me, shrugged, and kept doing what geese do (eating and leaving the most enormous poop for a bird that size). The noise was 'noticeable'. HONK HONK HONK They did that for the next couple of years, and apparently we lost a gold star because they stopped showing up. We did have about 20 this year, about 2 weeks ago, but they haven't returned en mass. That group was obviously an inspection team sent to see if we had improved enough to be added to the list of 'Must Poop At' places, and we failed to measure up, which is odd as I've got trillions of small crickets hopping all over the yard. I thought they would be tasty, and they would come and eat them, but apparently crickets isn't what does it to get that gold star back. I'd trade 150 pounds of poop for dramatically less crickets.
And cicadas? I found one, dead from embarrassment no doubt. They just never were a thing here, even though we have had lots of them during advertised waves in the past. Weird...
And the falcons ate all of our wild, and well fed rabbits.
If we check the photo's name, it should be Estavayer-le-Lac in Switzerland
It is inside the walled city of Estavayer-le-Lac, Switzerland
It is near the French border along the northern shores of Lac Neuchâtel, the third largest lake in Switzerland, and the largest that is not shared with any border.

A stand of cottonwoods out at Rocky Mountain Arsenal this morning.
I posted this one, quick and dirty in black and white last month. I'm trying to learn Affinity Photo, so I cropped and resized and pushed the colors around a little bit to see if I could make it stand out a little more. Not great, but not terrible.
Historic Nankin-Mills in Westland, Michigan this place one one of Old Man Henry Ford's Manufacturing Plants.
Sunset at the Lakefront today ❤️ 12pro
Unique experience yesterday, not taking photos...but video. While the book is very photo heavy, the goal is to create videos illustrating sites in the book as well as some that were specifically excluded. Only a 2.2 mile trail and interacted with about ten other people (groups) who were curious about my video rig...and yes, I will have to re-think lugging a large Ronin stabilizer around. One lady walking dogs, first time on trail which she discovered it in a book her sister bought. Then she realized I was the author. She had a passing hiker take a photo of us so she could brag to her sister. Photo below is the only place I used a tripod for opening script as I step in front with introductory narrative, then second clip focusing on the map as I outlined the path to be taken. The tripod and shotgun mic stayed in the car. All other audio will be added in post with camera audio disabled as no one wants to listen to the crunch, crunch, crunch of each step along the trail that was picked up by the camera.

Intense early morning light on cottonwoods. Haze from all of the western fires off in the distance over the mountains. Yes, the sky really is that blue .
