This old briefcase was lying here in front of the mirror. The mirror is reflecting much of the abandoned empty store. I picked up the hat off the floor and placed it, thinking I was creating some kind of traveling salesman scenario.

Yesterday morning, I watched a Bluebird standing on the edge of the house roof. It kept dipping down with its beak under the edge.
I watched for a while and then I realized it was sipping water from the melted snow that was trickling down the roof.

Driving a lonely one lane road in South Central Florida a Ferruginous Tiger Crane Fly flopped onto the exterior of my windshield and hiked a ride with me for ten miles.

A rather notorious watering hole in a rather notorious mining town (in the past) with a rather notorious history. Bisbee re-invented itself as a haven for artists of all types, many who went there as hippies in the '80's because, since it was almost a ghost town, it was a cheap place to live. It's a tourist mecca now.

A young buck has a new pair of antlers growing. I've seen this deer a few times as a fawn with its mother. Nice to see it grow up.

I have a lot of images of random things where I liked the scene,
I envisioned a composition in my minds eye and I photographed.
Most of those photos sit doing nothing.
Taking up bits and bytes.
Like old shells of a creative moment long passed.
This used to be a literal furnace of creation.
From raw ingredients, a meal is cooked with precision.
Providing nutrition and the joy of food to some people for a time.
Now it too does nothing
but take up dust and cobwebs
a shell.
Thoughts for this week's Aminus3 Weekly Prompt : Shell
This particular goose is usually reported as a Domestic goose sp. x Canada Goose. It wasn't until recently when I met a more experienced birder, who in turn consulted other more experienced people, decided to list this hybrid goose as a Swan Goose x Canada Goose (hybrid). As a result, I also now list it as such when I report my bird sightings on eBird.
This goose is a semi resident to the area who disappears for a time and then returns. He has quite the personally - look at the slight head tilt in the photo - and will let you know (by a hiss) that you are to close to him.
In the geese hierarchy, he is the boss bird and also noticeably bigger the the other geese.

Amazing what we can accomplish when we feel instead of thinking. Yeah I had an idea of what I wanted to capture and that was the easy part, but I allowed myself to linger for two hours last night with this image trying a barrage of ideas. I'd make a move, step back and ask "what if?" Trashed more layers in PS than I kept but I finally arrived at that "Aha" moment that we are all seeking. It felt balanced and complete so there were no more steps to take.

Captured this past Saturday afternoon with my IR converted Sony III. The outside temperature was 110 degrees - the red was seared into my memory.
So many steps and missteps that I could never remember or explain the process - I just kept taking that next step.
