First try at editing (DaVinci Resolve), and first try at using my new
DJI OM5 Gimbal with the Galaxy S21 Ultra (both normal and tele lenses).
All except a small segment is hand held, so nothing like as solid as

These are Rainbow Lorikeets, and this family hangs around our backyard
feeder waiting for sunflower seeds. They are a very disfunctional
family. :-)

In real-life, over time, it did.
Mind you, my son doesn't have great deal left if the truth be told.

Yes. Completely wild ..... but in an area popular for beach BBQs and
swimming, so the Wallabies were well used to people visiting the area.

The nearest comparable thing we've seen here in the UK would be Dartmoor
ponies!

My neighbour was a ginger alledgedly (not the next door one, the tradesman one). He's been grey since I've known him when he was about 35. Now that kid him and his wife take on holiday is ginger. They don't have kids. She's the daughter of one of his ex-employees. The father is "not present". Yeah ok.... The wife really is gullible.

I have three times swam up to a seal, once 40 miles down the road from here in the sea - a wild one, once in a river 10 miles from here - also wild, and once in England near where they release babies into the wild. Inquisitive and not scared of people when you don't have a boat and are not on land where you can move faster. Although the river I was in a canoe.

I thought all horses were tame?

"Please do not feed the ponies
It encourages them to stay near the road where they might be killed or seriously injured."
- that reminds me of something I saw advertised on Ebay for only a fiver.. You fit it under the bonnet of your car and it emits ultrasound to scare off deer etc, so they don't get run over. Maybe all cars should have these. I've killed one with my Golf :-(

It hurts. :-( In my lifetime, I've hit two. One was pregnant and the
baby spilt out onto the road. I felt terrible and rang and asked the
police to deal with the remains.

Perhaps you are right about Ultrasound.

If you'd seen his wife you'd understand why he cheated. She has more armpit hair than any man I've seen and refuses to shave it off.

Indeed, nothing is more fun than nature.

And yes I was naked on all occasions. Maybe shorts scare seals?

Every horse I've seen lets me pet and feed it. Mind you there are no wild horses in the UK. Also no animal hates me. It's fun to play with a rottweiler the owner cannot handle.

I have similar pics from the 70's and I have PShopped them all to
great effect. Some are irredeemable though. Your's fixed is an
example of the successes.

Wow! How kind of you to go to so much trouble, Peter.

I really appreciate that. *THANK YOU*!

Would you like another to 'play' with?

I agree - 100% :-D

I was once helped by a Dolphin when I capsized a Bosun Dingy in
Falmouth. He (she?) came alongside and allowed me to step on its back to
climb aboard again! Absolutely true.

That wouldn't have have helped in my second case - the animal jumped
over a hedge to my left and landed right in front of me.

My son tells me that some electric cars now have 'pretend engine noise'
generators to protect pedestrians! Whatever next?!!!

That is most kind. Thanks. :-)

This one is rather worse for wear! I can't recall how it got into such a
state! https://ibb.co/2F0zNVp

Perhaps the exercise keeps your fingers nimble and your brain alert!

Dolphins love humans as much as we love them. We are equally intelligent and respect each other like our own kind.

Rover gets very bad press, but my first car was a Rover and very sturdily built. Until it hit a tractor, which ended up worse off! Maybe momentum matters, it was doing 5mph and I was doing 90 er.... 60mph. Yes the sign said 60, I must have been doing 60.

However my neighbour's Rover 75 (top of the range) had the worst automatic gearbox I'd ever seen. It was like a learner driver changing gear. You should not notice when an auto box changes gear. But then I was used to a German car, they do things very well indeed. Pity they didn't win the war!

Same here, it was chasing females! But if it had heard the high pitch noise perhaps it would have stopped in fright and still be alive?

I have bought one and I suggest everyone else does. It will be interesting to see what happens when I drive past someone walking a dog....

Very easy to disconnect. I refuse to create noise pollution after spending a fortune on a quiet car. Pedestrians should learn to use their eyes.

So is mine, but I can engage my full beam when one comes towards me with his on. Some are actually brighter than full beam. And I've seen psycholists with them, and flashing!

It is quite funny when a modern daylight lights car is driving at night. Since the lights were already on at the front, they don't remember to switch on the "real" lights at night, so they have no back lights. Sometimes I flash, sometimes I flash the car lights, and sometimes I threaten them by almost crashing into the back of them.

Funniest one was a pedestrian who walked in front of me without looking. I revved the 3.5 litre V8 and they ran faster than I thought possible.

OMFG. These are not ultrasonic speakers, not electronic, not electrical. It's a piece of plastic in some form of whistle shape that alledgedly makes ultrasound when travelling over 60kmph. I blew into it and it made a normal human hearable whistling sound, so I'm guessing that under 60kmph it's going to piss off every pedestrian. I like it.
