Day 2: Flight




Today was interesting. I finally felt like I had some creativity. I didn't want a cliche bird or airplane photo, however, you've seen the result. I wanted a paper airplane shot or maybe a kid swinging, but what parent really wants some dude taking photos of their kid swinging? So, I went down to Frances Short pond just to see what was happening and I found this blue heron just chillin. It took a while before he took off, but I got the shot. Its a tad blurry, but the lighting was good and the motion is great. I went with it.

Before I left, there were these two circling hawks. I probably took 50+ photos of these guys before I felt happy with a shot. Check it out:




And now for a different kind of flight:

Matty B,

I noticed that you followed my blog. Thanks and I hope you can pick up something inspirational among my many random thoughts and rambling.

I also read that you are having some injury with your hamstrings? On your long term post, you are right, you are still young and have lots of time to develop and get fast!

Take your time and take care of your injuries. I know how sucky it feels to be not doing anything but sometimes that's the best way to get heal faster...therefore get back on the training wagon again.
