This is serendipity, just one of those surprise lucky shots that you find in a group of photos taken over the course of a day. I was down on the Texas Gulf Coast photographing shore birds. When reviewing the day’s take, I was delighted to find this fun shot of a piper seemingly walking away flapping its wings in disgust. Great shot? Nah. Fun shot? You bet!
During the 2024 Carolina Balloonfest Competition, pilots launch approximately two miles from a designated target zone at the festival grounds and must navigate to the zone and drop a marker within the target zone without landing the balloon. Here a balloon pilot launches his marker over the target zone.
Happy New Year to all you Monochromians out there 😁
May you stand up again like this reed every time the wind pushes you down.
Best wishes for the new year to all of you!

Dob Park Lodge in Yorkshire. It is a 400 year old hunting lodge. It is rumoured to contain treasure in a tunnel hidden under the fireplace, guarded by a huge talking hound.
We miss you Patti 💔
Where has the time all gone to
Haven’t done half the things we want to
Oh well, we’ll catch up some other time
