An elusive flying object ...

Haven't had much success catching birds and other flying objects, but on this sunny day with a couple of bumble bees flying around, one of the 30 or so shots I tried worked out reasonably well.

2021-01-04 Rottenwood Creek - Bob Callan Trail

Image
Had been walking on one fork of the Rottenwood Creek Trail along the Chattahoochee River off and on for the past two years. This morning, decided to try the other fork, which goes along the actual Rottenwood Creek. It was quite amazing urban trail, two-miles long, paved, undulating - rising up steep slopes to the interstate highway level, and back down to the creek along a winding path complete with underpasses and a variety of bridges back and forth across the creek, all the while, offering a tranquil getaway just a five minute drive from home. Frozen leaves and twigs with ice crystals gave way to sunbathing birds in the river. The meandering creek offered moments of quiet reflection, literally a stone's throw from the Atlanta perimeter, yet seemingly in a different, rustic world. The city all around us intruded, although politely, with reminders of its existence, in the form of bridges, graffiti, underpasses, and tall buildings. A winter morning well spent!

This manual pour-over technique eliminates all bells and whistles, the same ones that lead to the accumulation of "gunk" (a most scientific term) in office coffee machines that perhaps carry more mold and critters than coffee.  Invented by Peter Schlumbohm in 1941, the Chemex is such a significant "back-to-basics" object of the coffee world that it finds itself in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
