Aircraft named Osprey
Bird named Osprey
Have a look at photos of wildlife, festivals and travel sites here. Sharing tips for travelers with a twist of humor is part the life I enjoy in Okinawa, Japan.

Osprey in Flight -- It's a Plane Not a Bird
Controversial Bird Don't Bother Me
People complained about the horseless carriages when they first came out.
Now, folks get riled up over this new aircraft.
It is probably much safer than the older models flying around here, every day.
Some of the people who are squawking, drive those horseless carriages.
And, they talk, type and check their mail on their phones, while driving. Hah !
To prove how safe this newfangled flying machine is, here's what they should do.
Give them to the leaders of all countries, around the globe, to fly to important meetings.
Heck, all politicians deserve to have free rides in them.
And, should one or two of them crash, we could say stuff like, "Oops."

The March 15th Moon Stood Fairly Still
But the Osprey Was a Fast Mover
There seems to be some discrepancy about this month's Full Moon.
According to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, it was tonight.
Farmer's Almanac, says it's tomorrow and other places, say it will be Monday.
Well, I went and climbed a tower to wait for moonrise.
Before the moon showed up, along came this Osprey Flying machine.
That gave me an idea.
Wait until I could compose a scene with some background in it for that Auto Awesome thing.
It took some doing because I don't have any control over where those birds fly.
The plane flying past the red bridge that connects two outer islands was just what I needed.
The Pentax K3 takes more than 8 photo frames a second.
So, I fired off about 10 continuous shots while panning the camera on a tripod.
It was 6:20PM when this scene was created.
The Full Moon showed up and I took this photo at 6:45PM.
By 7PM, I was out of the tower in Kin Town and, back in my office, downloading the camera.
