No danger

I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I posted last. Time gets away from me.

I’ve been experimenting with a drone. This was a good opportunity to get good angles while staying safe on the ground.

Old Bison

I finally got a chance to photo some bison which I’ve wanted to do for a long time. It was a cloudy, dreary day so I thought turning them into an antique type image suited it well. There were about 150 in the group so isolating just a few was the biggest challenge.

Twin Owls in the Clouds

I had been out photo hiking in nasty weather (36°, blowing snow/rain at 8500 altitude) and hadn’t gotten anything I was excited about. About a mile from home I saw this.

Birds…

A collection of so-so bird pics.

I’m not a birder at all but I found out a local arboretum has a bird blind so a friend and I went to check it out. Walk a mile in a birder’s shoes I guess. An overcast day, after a rain, near sunset. Not the best conditions light-wise but I had a good time trying to capture something interesting.

Lucky

Sometimes I get lucky. Taking a walk and a large herd of geese decided to land close to me. Lucky because all I had was my walking around lens.

Winter Weasel

This guy popped up on a frozen river while family and I were taking an after Christmas hike. My Christmas meal looked better than his.

Saint Malo

Too late for the Milky Way, too much wind, too cold to stay long but I took a quick shot of the church and couldn’t believe the statue lit so well in the moonlight. https://campstmalo.org/
