Used to love walking along there --- must be Scupltures by the Sea at some point soon, or did it pass already?

Not yet. We have Vivid light festival at the moment. I told myself I’d go into the city every night this week and experience it, instead, I opened a nice sherry cask single malt .

That is off the Bells Line Of Road near Bell. It's called Walls Lookout. Only about a twenty minute walk too!

Do yourself a favour and pick up a couple of the Glenfiddich 14 year Bourbon Cask Reserve. Only been out for a bit and on special at Dan's currently for $99. I got three of them when it got released two months ago, and got two more yesterday for this price. Even the RRP is good value so $99 is crazy.

The new week has barely started and already I've shot what I think for me will be the highlight, even though it is not technically perfect: our resident Great Blue Heron flying by with a hitchhiker, a red-winged blackbird, catching a ride....

That's it, shut down the internet. Game over.

nice talk about right place and time, but seriously did it take long to glue that little guy on the herons back

Talk about living large!

I was happily shooting the GBH when I noticed motion a bit out of my full sight and camera range; just kept on shooting and was surprised when the Red-winged Blackbird came into my full view, flying somewhat above and slightly behind the GBH, and my first thought was, "oh, isn't that cute, the little guy is chasing the big one!" I've seen that happen a few times with an Osprey who occasionally swings by the lake in search of fishy goodies and almost immediately smaller birds start following and heckling him. But this? Something quite unexpected!

To my astonishment, the Red-winged Blackbird proceeded to land right on the GBH's back and it's a wonder I was able to shoot the scene as I was so surprised and totally mesmerized, staring at this weird sight..... The GBH, unfazed, just kept flying and his little passenger rode along for a bit, then took off on his own again, parting ways with his free ride. By this time they were also getting a bit too far away for continued good shooting so I just watched as the GBH went one way while his little buddy went in another direction.

Nope, no tricks, no AI -- this really happened and sure made my day!

I loved how the early fog blanked out the far buildings and created a real clean feeling here with the sky and the table setup. The blue flags just broke it up enough at the umbrellas.
