The tools of the hunting-for-eagles picture-takers…honking big lens (100-400 IS zoom), car to climb into to get warm periodically (about 38 degrees) and a big Wawa coffee. Didn’t get any pictures over about 3 hours in 2 trips there. Alas…
Pic o’the Day 33 – Desk Wall Stuff

I probably have 30 or however many patches from all the years. These are probably some of the ones that mean more than others.

Yep…those are snow shovels and an ice scraper and just off to the left out of the picture is the container of salt stuff to deice the walk. That bottom number is the outside temp. Discuss amongst yourselves. Woodbridge, VA.

OUTLAW PLATOON
February 1st, 2012 · General
As Glenn says…”In the mail”: OUTLAW PLATOON by Lieutenant Sean Parnell.
Acclaimed for its vivid, poignant, and honest recreation of sixteen brutal months of nearly continuous battle in the deadly Hindu Kesh, OUTLAW PLATOON is a Band of Brothers or We Were Soldiers Once and Young for the early 21st century—an action-packed true story of enormous sacrifice and bravery.

Pic o’the Day 31 – Drive Home

Not much of pic today – just a quick snap as I was driving home on 295 by DC.
February will bring some more good shots, I hope.

Pic o’the Day 30 – Self Portrait
January 30th, 2012 · Pic o'the Day
Haven’t done any self-portraits for a while so I played around a bit while driving home. No worries…I had both hands on the wheel. Most of the time. Might try one with the wide angle lens tomorrow – this was with the regular ol’ 18-55mm lens.
I don’t *usually* look that grumpy. Not having fun at work. I’m dreaming of my ideal job again – a high paying job of filing paper copies of xeroxed documents from archived repositories of 1980s-vintage requisition forms that were filled out in triplicate.
Anyone hiring?

Pic o’the Day 29 – Raptors Я Us! Red Shouldered Hawk

Saw this chubby little guy in a tree alongside Neabsco Road here near Woodbridge. He looks chubby here, but when he took off, he looked cool. No doubt as to who he was looking at.

Good morning. Kind of an important day – was glad I was able to catch the start of it.

Pic o’the Day 27 – Tree in Winter and Sun
January 27th, 2012 · General
I’m always stuck with what to title a photo. For this one I tried the minimalist route. Just a gorgeous late January day with lots of blue sky and white clouds. And sun. I know those sun flares may distract from the photo, but I kind of like them.

Pic o’the Day 26 – Java!
January 26th, 2012 · General, Pic o'the Day
The elixir of life…these days. A hot cup’o joe in my HS memorabilia mug – London Central High School in High Wycombe, England, currently being torn down and turned into a bunch of high-priced condos. Bites.
