Birds of prey and a dahlia bud

Please scroll down to see today's dahlia, Vassio Meggos, from Swan Island Dahlias.

Photos from September 6,2008, at the Riverfest South Waterfront Day. The Audubon Society presents "Birds of Prey." Impressive, even in repose.

Two photos of the peregrine falcon on the Audubon Society lady's hand.




Two photos of the kestrel, on the other lady's hand.

More fun from the Riverfest South Waterfront Day

Dogs and Flippy Floppers make an unbeatable match, not only for the dog and the person throwing the fetch toy, but also for those who watch the spectacle, even if it's mainly me, the photographer.

Six shots of long-legged, six-footed joy

I took these photos while seated on the sidewalk, at the curb, during the Riverfest: South Waterfront Day, the same day I took the photo of the girl and her pug, listening to saxophonist Devin Phillips and his Funk Band, posted on Sept. 22.
