No, that&#039;s not a bunch of dust on your computer screen. It&#039;s a crap load of cranes ready to bed down for the night.<br /> <br /> So, <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/SandhillCranes">#SandhillCranes</a> stop along a 90 mile strip of the <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/NorthPlatteRiver">#NorthPlatteRiver</a> to pick clean the corn and soybean fields fueling themselves for the long trip North. There is a designated scenic Crane watching car tour in <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/KearneyNebraska">#KearneyNebraska</a> and into the surrounding area. They take off from the <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/river">#river</a> to feed at first light and return from the fields at <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/sunset">#sunset</a>. <br /> <br /> Here&#039;s a photo I snapped as we left from over the river. As you can see, their numbers are massive and this shot doesn&#039;t even do that fact justice. As we drove back home for another 30 miles, we saw way larger swarms of these majestic animals in the air making their way back to their beds.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s a day well spent and you can extend the experience by renting out a campsite right on the river in the thick of them from the Autobahn Society there. This is an option most professional photographers use to get the best shots. Taking photos of them in the colorless fields makes it really hard to get great shots.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/SoMee">#SoMee</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/someeoriginals">#someeoriginals</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/originalcontent">#originalcontent</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/Awesme">#Awesme</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/photography">#photography</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/roadtrippin">#roadtrippin</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/adventure">#adventure</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/life">#life</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/myphoto">#myphoto</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/AnimalPhotography">#AnimalPhotography</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/cranes">#cranes</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/birds">#birds</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/BirdPhotography">#BirdPhotography</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/adventure">#adventure</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/Nebraska">#Nebraska</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/migration">#migration</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/BirdMigration">#BirdMigration</a><br/>[No, that&#039;s not a bunch of dust on your computer screen.

My entry for the <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/Awesme">#Awesme</a> Tutorials Advice to Live By <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/Contest">#Contest</a><br /> <br /> The best advice or tip I have used in my life myself and taught my kids was one I believe I coined myself. It&#039;s, &quot;Being an adult isn&#039;t about doing the tough things that you like or are good at, but doing what needs to be done, simply because it needs to be done.&quot; I guess other more well known or common uses would be to tell someone to &quot;man-up&quot; or as they say in the Southern U.S., &quot;Cowboy/girl-up.&quot;<br /> <br /> The multi-skilled adult or even child in many cases from before the tech boom is becoming extinct. We used to do most everything we needed done ourselves, but as the consumer society becomes more ingrained, we tend to delegate many of the simple basics out to others. The average person I meet these days don&#039;t even know how to give their vehicles an oil change. It&#039;s a 20 minute job with little to no real skill needed, yet most will gladly pay someone else to do it. I find this to be disturbing. <br /> <br /> Basic skills are necessary for independence and freedom, yet so many prefer to rely on others. The kids today are even worse and it&#039;s only going to worsen. When you embrace the responsibility that you need to do it, regardless of whether you like the chore or not, you build character, responsibility, maturity, independence and more skills to increase that your worth. It&#039;s the attitude within in me, which resulted in this advice that I believe we need to preserve and teach to our kids. It also creates a defined line in the sand between adolescence and adulthood. <br /> <br /> It&#039;s obvious to many that age has little to do with defining one with the characteristics of being an adult. As a matter of fact, many adults would be not be considered as such when held to this standard. I think this is important, so that not only do our children learn the importance of hard work, but have a good gauge of what truly makes a good role model. <br /> <br /> Do it because it needs to be done, whether or not it&#039;s hard or that you are good at it. <br /> <br /> Please join to add some character to the feed. I look forward to see what advice makes each and every one of tic, because they all equally important.

I&#039;m playing around with the editor again to see if I can spruce up the less interesting photos I have. I found this cool feature that did just that, imo. I mean for me, all pictures involving nature are great, but not too many others do and I&#039;m trying to cater to everyone, lol(jk). Glitter and perfection seems to be the expectation these days.

I found these little guys running all over the place down in <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/Florida">#Florida</a>. They are <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/BrownAnoles">#BrownAnoles</a>, which are not native to the U.S., but were introduced a few decades ago. They are now one of the most common lizards there. Their range only extends into <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/Georgia">#Georgia</a>, but they are expected to continue to expand Northward over time. Their cousin the <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/GreenAnole">#GreenAnole</a> is native to Florida, though. <br /> <br /> At first I though it was a <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/CommonHouseGecko">#CommonHouseGecko</a>, but the shape of the eyes and long slender toes are definitely not characteristic of one.

This was the closest I&#039;ve ever been to a soaring <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/TurkeyVulture">#TurkeyVulture</a> and think it was the clearest shot I&#039;ve ever gotten of a bird in the air. A group of them were hanging out on the rocks right next to our camp, so I got a shot right after he took off. The sun whited it out a bit, but if you don&#039;t know they get their name from the red flap of skin on their nose that&#039;s very similar to a turkey&#039;s. They also look very similar to one when on the ground walking around. <br /> <br /> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/SoMee">#SoMee</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/someeofficial">#someeofficial</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/someeoriginals">#someeoriginals</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/originalcontent">#originalcontent</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/AweSoMee">#AweSoMee</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/travel">#travel</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/photography">#photography</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/myphoto">#myphoto</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/LandscapePhotography">#LandscapePhotography</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/nature">#nature</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/scenery">#scenery</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/adventure">#adventure</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/AnimalPhotography">#AnimalPhotography</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/animal">#animal</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/birds">#birds</a> <br /> <br/>[This was the closest I&#039;ve ever been to a soaring #TurkeyVulture and think it was the ](https://somee.social/posts/680977)

I&#039;m just playing with the editor a bit to see what all it has to offer. I&#039;ve been using it for a while now, but haven&#039;t delved deep into it&#039;s features. I&#039;m using the PhotoscapeX App for my desktop. It works pretty well, but isn&#039;t top of the line by any means. I was quite disappointed by the lack of frames it offered, then I found this feature, which gives me a few more options.<br /> <br /> I shot these <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/Pelicans">#Pelicans</a> at the same place as the Blue Heron I shared yesterday. We were racing all around them and they couldn&#039;t care less. Unlike the ones I shared the other day, these were here quite late in the season, so must stay here for the summer, rather continuing to migrate North.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/SoMee">#SoMee</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/someeofficial">#someeofficial</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/someeoriginals">#someeoriginals</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/originalcontent">#originalcontent</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/AweSoMee">#AweSoMee</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/travel">#travel</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/photography">#photography</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/myphoto">#myphoto</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/LandscapePhotography">#LandscapePhotography</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/nature">#nature</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/scenery">#scenery</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/adventure">#adventure</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/AnimalPhotography">#AnimalPhotography</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/animal">#animal</a> <a href="https://somee.social/search/hashtag/birds">#birds</a> <br /> <br/>[I&#039;m just playing with the editor a bit to see what all it has to offer.
