penthouse view... - a photo on Flickriver

penthouse view...

            This was taken back in May of 2016 at the Jubitz truck stop located on the far North side of Portland. I remember the clouds that day were amazing and I began taking pictures of airplanes. The flight path to or from the airport was nearly overhead. While doing that I noticed an Osprey flying, then the nest. After watching for about 30 minutes I noticed the nest and there were two, a mating pair obviously. Couldn't see the babies, but the nest always had one parent, sometimes both. I was really wishing I had a longer lens, but at that time Sony hadn't yet released many lenses for the still new full frame mirrorless "a" series cameras. So, no nice close up shots of the Ospreys, but then I wouldn't have gotten much of the cool clouds. 
If you're ever in the Portland area, or just driving through on I-5, the Jubitz is pretty nice to visit. There's a good restaurant, a bar with bands Friday and Saturday nights. Pool tables and quite a few other stores (there's also shoe and boot repair shop I like going to for heel replacements on my cowboy boots. the old shoe cobbler is really good, and same day repairs) inside the main building. Even a movie theater. 
Anyway, out of Phoenix, too hot, over 100 degrees, and now back at our Jurupa Valley Terminal in SoCal. Getting a new truck as soon as they can get me a load heading East, eventually to Wisconsin. Could have picked it up after the Awards Banquet, but a week or two in the truck with Mom, well not a good idea to either of us.
Thanks to all of you. I've said it before, but can't say it enough. My friend's here on Flickr are the best. Seeing your photography and getting feed back and encouragement really makes photography so much more fun. I have about an hour before bedtime, so will post this and do some visiting.
