So, today is Sunday. Normally a day of rest, but this week has been a week of rest imposed upon us as well as most of the nation and world due to the Coronavirus crisis. The next week is going to be tough here, as the viral cases ramp up here in NYC. So it’s an eerie calm before the impending storm. So I set out to take a picture of something to share, to provide a few moments of escape for myself, as well as anyone that might like my pictures. This bridge is one of my favorite subjects, and this view is just down the road from me in the wonderful Isle of Staten. I hope you enjoy it. ———————————————— The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge has a central span of 4,260 feet (1.30 km; 0.81��mi). It was the longest suspension bridge in the world until it was surpassed by the Humber Bridge in the United Kingdom in 1981. The bridge has the 14th-longest main span in the world, as well as the longest in America. When the bridge was officially named in 1960, it was misspelled "Verrazano-Narrows Bridge" due to an error in the construction contract, despite the explorer's name having two "z"s.The name was officially corrected to "Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge" in October 2018. #verrazzanobridge Camera: #Canon EOS 6D Lens: EF 28-300mm 3.5-5.6L IS USM @canonusa #canon6D @siadvance #silive #just_nycshots #just_newyork #statenisland #statenislandusa #statenislandlife #statenislandphotographer #siny #nycprimeshot #ig_nycity #what_i_saw_in_nyc #topnewyorkphoto #newyork_instagram #topphotonewyork #nycgo #icapture_nyc #ny1pic #majorkimagery #ig_nyc #StatenIslandFourBridgeChallenge For even higher resolution version of this shot, please DM to acquire, or to use commercially.

There is something captivating about catching a bird in flight. Here is a simple Ring-billed gull, but he looks, like he is so much in command, of his quick flight. Shot in Staten Island, NY Mar 8, 2020 “Photos of creatures that fly.” #CanonFanPhoto Camera: #Canon EOS 6D Lens: EF 28-300mm 3.5-5.6L IS USM Aperture: f/5.6 ISO: 200 Shutter Speed: 1/1600sec Focal Length: 300mm The ring-billed gull (Larus delawarensis) is a medium-sized gull. The genus name is from Latin Larus which appears to have referred to a gull or other large seabird. The specific delawarensis refers to the Delaware River. @canonusa #canon6D @siadvance #silive #just_nycshots #just_newyork #statenisland #statenislandusa #statenislandlife #statenislandphotographer #siny #nycprimeshot #ig_nycity #what_i_saw_in_nyc #topnewyorkphoto #newyork_instagram #topphotonewyork #nycgo #icapture_nyc #ny1pic #majorkimagery #ig_nyc #wings #birds #birdsofinstagram #ringbilledgull For even higher resolution version of this shot, please DM to acquire, or to use commercially.

If you stare at this picture long enough, I guarantee you can hear them honking. (They are honking at you, to like the picture.

Maybe it’s because I had the privilege and honor of serving in the US military, and leading some of the most stellar individuals that I will ever know, but when I see an American Bald Eagle soaring like this in such majestic fashion, I have an emotional response. There is something utterly no-nonsense in they way this bird flies and soars. -Major K ————— The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla).

This sentence is to be replaced with a good swan joke. Spoiler alert, there are no good swan jokes. The mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Eurasia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. It is an introduced species in North America – home to the largest populations outside of its native range – with additional smaller introductions in Australasia and southern Africa. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species. Measuring 125 to 170 cm (49 to 67 in) in length, this large swan is wholly white in plumage with an orange beak bordered with black. It is recognisable by its pronounced knob atop the beak, which is larger in males.

In a few days, our dog “Koko” will be three years old. It’s pretty hard to remember how life was before he became part of our family. “Koko” is short for “Kokoleka”, which in the Hawaiian language is the word for chocolate. He is a constant source of amusement, and embodies the spirit of a dog being man’s best friend. Here he is guarding the house, and he has a bark that will go right through you. However, if you simply offer your hand to pet him he turns immediately into a softie, and you would think his wagging tail might even make him airborne.
