Taken today with my Droid Bionic at 8 megapixels, but uploaded to Picasaweb where they downsize them.

Pics are unedited as I just found out I need to use the supplied USB cable with the Droid Bionic to get file transfers to my PC.

 

Pretty good pics for a cell phone i have to admit. Cell phone cameras have really come a long way.

But then when you have true HD cameras that are this big and only $40 I guess i would expect some good quality cameras in $600+ cell phones.

Taken today with the Droid Bionic around 7:35 am at my third jobsite I cover.

 

My pics use to turn out better on my Bionic, but I wear the camera on my badge lanyard at work, and the lens is exposed to rain, dust, dirt, and I have not cleaned the lens since I got the phone last September
I really should clean it.

Taken 1 11 2012 at work.
We have two man made lakes at work, and lots of wild life there.
Spotted these ducks in the water, but they spooked as I got off of my jitney and walked over to shoot them.



Mount Rainier at the off ramp coming into my town today after work.



I was driving the Linde (jitney) today on our back road to get a dolly to ship out some old chairs to reclamation when something in the corner of my eye stopped me.
I looked over and saw what I thought was an osprey sitting in our gated area where we keep extra Hesco barriers and other stuff in case the Howard Hanson dam goes.
I sent the pics to our environmental/wetlands guy in the office, and he said t was a red tail hawk.
You can see its wing is injured, so it was hanging out in there to keep coyotes and other predators away.
He stood about 2' tall I would guess.

 

And? What happened to him. Did you call a rescue service of some kind?

 

Wow, can't believe I haven't seen this thread before. It's gonna be tough only posting one a day!

 

Here is the sad thing.
Our guy in the office as soon as he saw by the pic that the bird was injured called the department of game and wildlife, and all he got was a recording.
In the past they would have been down to our site pronto as they have in the past since we have lots of wildlife there, but thanks to the gov's budget cutbacks which have resulted in downsizing, there was no one available to respond to us.
He did leave them a message though with the location of the bird, so hopefully someone will look into it.

My lead took the bird some cubed chicken chunks from the cafeteria to feast on.
He got as close as he could, but he said that bird had some pretty mean looking talons on it
So we are not sure if anyone will ever respond to go take care of the bird.

 

Corey, this crew may be able to help:

I rescued a Merlin once......

 

 

Thanks Bob, I will pass along the info.

Teuf, beautiful bird you rescued.

 

 

pardee?

 

No, Donnell Reservoir. Tuolumne County's best secret.

 

Taken with my Droid Bionic, and the lens is very dirty
Have never cleaned it since I bought it.

We got hit hard today with snow, it has snowed off and on since Sunday, but today we had a major dump, and we had received around 8" or more at my work by the time I left today at 11:30 am.
I have started at 2 am all week running the Bobcat Toolcat to clear snow with the front brush, and to lay down deicer with the booms and tank in the back.



Coming home none of the roads in Kent or Auburn had been plowed yet, but it was pretty compact in places, other spots it would grab you and pull you sideways.
I stayed in 4WD the whole way home.

Almost got clipped a few times by cars in the lane next to me who came very close since you can not see the lines.

The Toolcat kicks up a good roostertail of snow.



We have two ponds at work also with trails that go around them, and I had to clear them several times today also.







On the way home from work.
I stayed off the freeway, and just took the main drag from work that goes right to my home.



Interesting, this guy with a sidecar on his motorcycle was having a blast.





I was breaking fresh snow in this picture below, and it was trying its hardest to make the rigs frontend go back and forth.
