Picture-A-Week-2016 - Week 46

Pictures taken between Monday, November 7 and Sunday, November 13.

Choosing a U.S. President.

I'm surprised that you're allowed into a poll station to take pictures.

There are a lot of laws that need to be revisited 100 years after they went on the books. :)

It varies from state to state. In my state of MO taking a photo in a polling place is allowed but taking a picture of the ballot is banned.

Plane spotting...

Great picture of the pilot and plane.

Did the plane pic disappear? Might be a flaw in the slaw with Amazon Prime...

Supermoon test

With all the Hype over the Super Moon this week we decided to take a trip to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville AL.

No space race over here, just these old rockets

You must have taken those with a really old camera!

Flora and Fungi.

We’ve had a heavy frost and a couple nights of freezing temperature that past two weeks but one of my petunia plants refuses to quit.

This mushroom popped up in my yard too. I have no idea what it is but it's beautiful in an ugly kind of way.

The rockets and the old cars are very cool - nice to see some different stuff like that! Also love the supermoon rising shot - not so lucky around here to be able to shoot the moon near the horizon like that as we're flat as a board and have trees everywhere - we don't see the moon until it's risen at least 30% in the sky.

Have some weekend birding and wildlife to share from a lovely Saturday:

Big gator having a rest on the shore:

Osprey flying by, but clearly noticing me pointing a big black tube at him...he was aware, but not scared:

Red-winged blackbird sitting atop a tree:

Ibis banking in for a landing, near sunset:

Roseate spoonbill flying past at sunset - the blue sky behind really showing off his pink and red hues enhanced by the setting sun:

Nice!

 

You must have taken those with a really old camera!

While watching the groups of scouts, various local dance troupes and marching bands pass by at the city's annual Founder's Parade, I (like most people) was easily distracted by something shiny.
