Here's a recent photo I took that I like.

Five years ago, my son was guest DJ on The Doll House, an internet broadcast that aired on Facebook. He was interviewed and also played House Music, one of his passions. It was a fun show. I took this of my computer screen. It happens to be one of my favorite photos because he looks so happy and is showing his cute dimple. I also love that they put up the black and white backdrop that shows him in serious deejay mode.

Red Necked Avocet on the bank of the Swan River, Maylands - Perth.
Red Necked Avocet 2.JPG
The long slender upturned bill distinguishes it from its closest relatives, the Stilts.
It is a graceful, colourful large wader with long stilt like legs.
The toes are half webbed allowing it to swim quite readily.
Avocets feed by wading in both salt and freshwater wetlands. They feed on tiny crustaceans, aquatic insects, worms and molluscs.
 
Back a few decades our friend took us on an cool trip in his old wooden lobster boat. We strapped our kayaks on his boat and after running for about 25 miles along Cape Cod, past Martha's Vineyard he dropped us offshore of Muskeget, a small island about 5 miles from Nantucket. He went off to take care of some business promising to return, leaving us all by ourselves.

When we landed the only sign of life on Muskegat was a few empty summer shacks and a sand runway on the beach where you could tell a small plane had landed numerous times.

Then we saw the bones. They were everywhere. Scattered all around us, bleached white as snow. There was a big jawbone which was nearly twice my height and weighing more than both of us and our boats combined. There were "smaller" rib bones and vertebrae bigger around than 5 gal buckets. They were from a Fin whale, the second largest of the whales just behind a Blue whale. They can grow upwards of 80 feet. I believe it after seeing that skeleton. An 80' whale has a lot of bones.

After having lunch sitting on our vertebrae furniture we hiked the 2-1/2 mile perimeter of the island and found even more bones near the beach. Probably where it originally had washed ashore decades before.

We carried a waterproof camera in those days so before we left I staged some bones around me and managed to stand the jawbone on end to take a photo of me proping it up. We haven't been back since.
