Olympic Class Sailing Dinghy
These types of sailing dinghies are insane. Here is one of the French dinghies practicing for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. They are probably moving in excess of 20 knots. The video shows them both upwind and downwind as well as gybing on a downwind course. Amazing to see these things fly out of the water...
A hummingbird baby
This hummingbird fell off of a tree that was getting chopped down in the LA Zoo. Marlene is taking care of it for the time being until it is able to be released. She will be posting a more indepth story on her blog at:
