Out the sun room window yesterday morning. Cheers, Jock

That's what I thought. I just heard from the folks at NY Audubon. They said: "Nice photos of the robin. Yes, they are somewhat prone to albinism or more precisely leucism (noting the dark eye of your bird)." Cheers, Jock

I have a theory what this might be and welcome the thoughts of others. A shot taken with another camera: Both shots are unretouched, straight out of camera. Cheers, Jock

That's what I thought -- ice crystals way up high -- but I wasn't sure. Cheers, Jock

The Spotter-in-Chief and I took a walk on the Ballston Lake, NY, bike path. We stopped for a moment. She looked up and said, "Look, an inverted rainbow! . . . No, it's a circle." Saturation boosted. Notice the beginning of an inner rainbow. Cheers, Jock PS- Special thanks to Biro. He knows why.

Call Fox Mulder. Seen while fetching the mail. Cheers, Jock

I would be proud to have taken any one of the those shots . . . let alone the whole series. Nice work on the woodpecker . . . they are notoriously shy . . . will slide around to the other side of the tree as soon as you raise your camera. Cheers, Jock

I sometimes spend large amounts of money to travel to faraway place to take exotic photos . . . NOT! The spotter-in-chief and I spent a pleasant afternoon in the side yard. Some years ago, a neighbor gave us a handmade bird house that looks like a chapel. We mounted it on a pole, and...

The better half and I were walking on the North side of Peebles Island, NY, when we saw a group of about a dozen guys coming the other way. "Have you seen any eagles?" my wife asked. No, they had not. We had just passed them when one called: "Ma'am? There's a hawk right there." He points. Not...

What knocks me out is that every single shot in this series grabs me. They are sooooo . . . atmospheric. I can almost hear Maddy Prior or June Tabor singing faintly in the background. Well done! Cheers, Jock

Photoshop the tow line, and it looks like the cover to an OSS Novel. Well done! Cheers, Jock

I don't know if it was a regular thing on both sides, but there may have been a bit of "nah-nah-nah, we've got your guys" on the part of Germany. For sure it was a regular thing from Radio Berlin. Since I wrote that piece, I discovered that there have been two books written about other families...

It is an unusual true story about how shortwave listeners provided hope to my family during WWII. https://swling.com/blog/2022/04/wwii-radio-letters-a-real-life-shortwave-story/ Cheers, Jock

. . . you will be absolutely blown away by the quality of the images. Doesn't matter the subject or the piece of photographic iron that was used. Just Wow! And I submit, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, that this proves that photography is in the eye and in the heart. The defense calls no...

That needs to be a big, big print on your wall. Well done. Cheers, Jock

. . . a forsythia is screaming yellow at the world. Ah, spring! Cheers, Jock

I once entered Leica's annual contest in the hopes of winning the Grand Prize, a digital Leica rangefinder and their f/.95 50mm lens. When I told my better half, she said, "Would you be comfortable walking around with a camera/lens combo that is worth the price of a car?" I had to admit I would...

Like it A LOT. That deserves a big print on somebody's wall somewhere. Well done! Cheers, Jock PS- I like the windmills for scale.

Aye, lad, time to summon the Clans! Cheers, Jock

I sent this shot to a biologist, and he thinks it is a black bear. We get deer in the yard all the time, and I have seen a black bear taken an entire bird feeder at a place a few miles from here. The track is just about 3 feet from this feeder: Sony - The truth about our birdfeeder Cheers, Jock

I thought it was a white merlot . . . they're endangered, aren't they?

Cheers, Jock

The tough camera strikes again! Cheers, Jock
