Random photos, let's have them

[Tony James]

Just a lousy quality cell phone picture, but for some reason, I really dig it.
Dog and hawk both look awkward, and odd.

Hi Scott,

often in those hawk and dog shots, one or other will look awkward or odd. But to get them both looking that way is rare indeed.

Nice shot.

Best wishes,

Tony.

PS I hear you're planning a trip over. Be sure to let me organise some entertainment for you.

[Tony James]

I absolutely love this photo and think it belongs on the front page of a well respected Falconry magazine or similar.

Kind regards, Derry.

I'm glad you like it, but I'm not sure it's as good as that.

Funnily enough a photographer friend joined me for some hawking today, and I showed him a picture he took of the jerkin I flew last season on the cover of a Spanish falconry magazine (if only I could read Spanish).

Tony.

Tony, You heard correctly (Helen must have spilled the beans). I'm thinking of coming over your way right after my dick season closes this year. Maybe spend the month of March cruising around the UK, visiting friends... Was hoping to see you in person, and see Helen and the Fords, etc., etc.. I'll be in touch!

Not Helen this time. We have another mutual friend who I'm trying to persuade to hide in your suitcase

I'll give some thought to the possibilities in March, but to keep on topic, a random picture taken yesterday of my own odd couple.

Best wishes,

Tony.

PS Helen was with us the day the jerkin was photographed.

[GONEHAWKN]

Hmmmm......I wonder who that could be?

Scott, dare I ask what "dick season" is ROTFLMAO that's the funniest thing I have read on here LOL

Dare I ask what ROTFLMAO is? Apparently I'm not to savvy on computerese. I believe since Scott is planning a trip to England, he was referring to "spotted dick" season. Tony will understand.

Man you did have an open invite to hawk here on the Eastern Shore, but after the above statement....nevermind! lmao!

[mainefalconer]

Oh man!! That sure is an interesting type-o!
I'm going to assume that you all understood that I meant to write "duck season."

I actually just took a close look at my keyboard, thinking to myself, "is the "I" really near the "U"?"

Reminds me of that story of the poor bloke who got his wedding tackle grabbed by a pair of Harris' hawks at the Welsh Hawking Club meet many years ago (I think 1994) while he was relieving himself.

Anyway...... Nice team Tony! They look pretty polished/slick!

There was me holding my breath, wondering whether you'd tell of the typo, or develop Ray's 'spotted dick' ruse

As for the team, I have to say it's a team of three --- falcon, pointer, and me.
Thankfully the falcon is polished enough to make the two weak links less relevant

Best wishes,

Tony.

I'm glad you like it, but I'm not sure it's as good as that.

Tony.

I think the reason I admire the photo so much Tony is because not only is it representative of some of the finest Falconry furniture available. For me at least it also offers the opportunity to reflect on the finer details.

Kind regards, Derry.

I'll take that as a compliment then, thank you.

I had a photographer friend join me yesterday, who managed to get some pictures of the flight that allowed me to reflect on the finer details of it, or at least the little section at the bottom of the stoop, in a way that I'd not been able to at the time.

Regards,

Tony.

Nice ones Mr. James!
On my way out to fly Echo this morning, I bumped into some local riff raff about a block from my house. I pulled over and snapped a few pics. The last pic I was laying on my truck seat and shooting up through the windshield as she had just landed right there and I was afraid if I moved it would bump her out of view.

[PeteJ]

And then I got out with Echo and she grabbed some quality air time. She's getting the hang of going up now, but still is only half-heartedly trying to catch flushed beneath her. One of these days it will cool down and she'll be ready.

Here's a few from the past couple years.

It's Friday afternoon and the forum needs a little kick. Don't know about anyone else but I'd like to see some falconry photos and/or videos. Have some handy, post them. Doesn't matter if they are your best shots or not. I'll kick it off with a few random shots I have on the PC:

Very beautiful falcon, Adam. No matter how many pics of the falcons of modern falconry I see, the ol' Peregrine still reigns supreme in my world---plus Tanner's tiercel RNS/B. He is just plain falcon lust.

Is there a 'like' button anywhere?

I was looking through some pictures this morning and found this one. I guess I never realized that my dog and my bird are color coordinated .
