Hawk video, nature shots and my new pet jellyfish!

[wraithfodder]

Ah, the amateur videographer is back, with a five second short of a really big hawk (red-tail?) sitting in tree, flying from one tree to another. I shot it with a zoom lens on the digital camera, hand-held, but since it's five seconds, you shouldn't need any Dramamine ;)

And below the cut, some more pictures, of frozen ponds and ... my brand new pet jellyfish!! :)



I loved the reflection of the trees (and the hawk in above video was in one of those trees.


Another reflection of trees on a half-frozen pond.



My new pet alien jellyfish!



And another shot, which proves my jellyfish is nothing more than a very big paperweight with a neat alien jellyfish thing inside ;) If I could have found two, they'd make great bookends as this sucker is solid glass and weighs a LOT. Fortunately since it's glass I can't kill it by not feeding it...

I love the reflections on the pond—and the alien jellyfish!

The jellyfish looked cool in the store, then I stuck in the light thing I got last Xmas, where the light goes through the glass paperweight you stick on top. Really lights it up nice!!

Beautiful pics. And that paperweight is just.. bizarre!

Thanks. I love the paperweight. Even if I'll never use it as one...

I don't think I'd miss the 20 degree temps...

Lovely photos of the frozen pond and yes, that definitely is a red-tailed hawk in the video!

The jellyfish paperweight is so cool, especially with the light!

Happy New Year!

I must experiment with colored lights with the paperweight.

Ah, yup, red-tailed hawk. Had one in the backyard once. Killed the bunny in our yard. Darn.

Hee, isn't it?

I really like the shots of the jelly fish. :)

Lovely pictures of the pond and trees. Your jelly fish sounds like a great pet. No feeding, no cleaning up, just hanging out looking cool. Works for me!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yup, unless it falls on your foot. Heavy!

The frozen pond is so pretty!

That hawk on the tree-limb looks more like a movie camera than an avian.

Very nice nature shots.

I want your alien jelly fish!
