Louis Posted April 26, 2020 Share #8921 Posted April 26, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Like many Miami visitors, I was also very surprised to see all these lose chickens on every green area of town, when I first arrived to Miami. Some locals ignore them, while some others even feed them. They are all over the place and hatch continuously, surrounded by their little chicks. I always wondered what really happens to these birds and where are they disappearing after a while since their population should cover the whole city by now! ... I have not found the answer yet and everyone I ask has no idea, either! Inspired by Jayne's excellent set of not long ago - and not finding any interesting subject in deserted streets - I took couple of shots for fun. 😅 CL + Nikkor 50mm, f/1.4 Welcome, dear visitor!

Louis Posted April 26, 2020 Share #8923 Posted April 26, 2020 What was she running away from?... Is she just exercising or late for something?... I didn't see anyone else in that empty street of Miami Little Havana! She is certainly not running away from those chickens; but maybe, from me that she may be taking for a mad man wondering around with that mask and gloves?.... What the hell is this crazy guy doing here as he should stay home and be self isolated, she must be thinking!...😳🤪 CL + Nikkor 50mm, f/1.4 Welcome, dear visitor!

Your post had me on Google Louis, so interesting that you have these chickens running loose everywhere, in lots of places in Florida apparently, not just Miami, sure they must end up on the odd dinner table😄. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted April 27, 2020 Share #8928 Posted April 27, 2020 And on my ride home again along the Cam, where I had one of my more spectacular bike accidents some years ago. I hope you can put up with the story. I was a marshall in the Town Bumps. The bumps are a form of rowing race for eights; all the boats start together, separated by a length and a half; the aim is to hit the boat in front and not be hit by the boat behind. It is fast, noisy and utter chaos, especially in this narrow winding reach - where the spectators gather. The Bumps are a university tradition, but the Town Bumps are also held. As a marshall on my bike, I was assigned a boat to follow and adjudicate when it bumped or was bumped (when both boats are supposed to get to the bank to let the rest through). Approaching this bend, there were three boats close together and it was not clear who would bump first. We three marshalls, assigned to the three boats, came round the bend at high speed, side by side, like a scene from Ben Hur. I was on the outside nearest the river; too late, I saw a young guy standing with his bike across the towpath shouting at the boats. I had nowhere to go and hit him full on; he bounced off into the river with his bike on top of him. I did a header over the handlebars onto the grass. Rather to my surprise I sat up with minimal damage other than a dislocated little finger. The guy in the river, unharmed, struggled out with his bike - his mates were laughing too hard to help him. This bend still has vivid memories for me. Welcome, dear visitor!

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! The Fens, but in my case farther north of Boston, are part of happy memories visiting Grandparents when I was young. Early winter mornings with the sun struggling to rise of over the black fens, or late summer afternoon haze with the smudgy outline of Boston Stump 20 miles or so to the south. I need another trip home when this CV-19 virus has passed and we can travel again. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted April 28, 2020 Share #8936 Posted April 28, 2020 Hehehe.... great shots.. I think it is easier to shoot them in their privacy with a 70-200 zoom. lol Once, I had a a Nikkor 18-200 zoom that I gave to my daughter with my Nikon D300. I guess I could Get much closer to them with that lens than my 50 mm. Stay safe 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
