Bird Portrait: Rock Thrush on the Rocks

Today, over on the island of Senaga Jima, this Rock Thrush posed for a second.

Over the past few days, we've been out shooting all over Okinawa.

And, on some of the outer islands accessible by car.

So, there are over a thousand photos of birds waiting in my (ahem-ahum) project bin.

 Not to worry. Everything will get caught-up around here when the weather turns cold.

The sun is shining and I don't have to wear socks with my flip-flops.

So, like a farmer, I have to make hay while the sun shines.

If you don't hear from me tomorrow, that could mean I'm taking care of an itch.

Itchin' to hop on a boat and hit some far away island.

And, if anybody asks what I do for a living, I know what I'll tell them I do.

JUST LIVING !

Have You Ever Been Itchin' to Hop on a Boat and Get Away ?

Man, am I ever ready to go.  I just know one of these ferry boats is waiting for me.

In Japan, they have nice ferries to take you to other islands.

 They have tatami rooms for those who like to stretch out on a straw mat.

Some folks like to sit in the air-conditioned compartments.

Not me.  I like to hang around outside in the fresh air and diesel fumes.

 By the time we spot some land, I'm right up front watching the crew.

And, I'm one of the first people itchin' to hop off the dang boat !

Do you ever get an itch to hop on a boat and get away ?

Well, don't scratch.  Just do it.
