Picture-A-Week 2022 - Week 46

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, November 14 and Sunday, November 20.

 

Be creative! For some reason, I feel the need to hunt down a train and photograph it. I hear their tracks are easy to follow...

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Florida wetlands this Saturday, November 19th...

Chunky knight anole lizard climbing around on some downed palm fronds:

 

Lucky to find the strange and elusive chuck-will's-widow again:

 

Pied-billed grebe:

 

Circling back to chuck again:

 

Green heron on the hunt:

 

The ruddy ducks were back again - actually, just one this time...but since it's often 5-6 years or more between sightings, I'll take any I can find:

 

A popular tree - roseate spoonbill sharing the space with a glossy ibis and a little blue heron:

 

Then the pink bird decided to be a diva and chased the other two away to take over the tree:

 

A great blue heron with a great big catch:

If you've ever watched a hockey game, an ice-skating competition or spent any time around a rink, you have encountered a Zamboni. In 1940, Frank Zamboni and his brother opened what was at the time, the largest skating facility in the world in Paramount, CA. It took 9 years for Frank to get fed up with how much time and effort it took to resurface the ice and built the first dedicated ice resurfacing machine, dubbed the Model A. It was a tractor with a blade that shaved the ice, swept up the shavings, rinsed the ice and left a thin layer of water that froze in around a minute. They were fairly popular until one was showcased at the 1960 Winter Olympics. The rest is history...and a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

 

"Z" is for Zamboni
