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...

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.
