Ideas and plans?
Walking the fields and woods nearly every morning this winter I’d grown accustomed to the dull brown and grey leafless winter landscape. This past week I witnessed a sudden change in the color pallet nature is “painting” with.
Sometimes I listened
The last week was full of preparation for the outdoors, spring and another summer.
The yard equipment is all ready now — inspections, repairs, changing oil/filters, cleaning air filters, greasing spindles and sharping blades. I’ll admit there’s pleasure for me in preforming these tasks and more than a small amount of satisfaction in when they’re done. It also connects me to my father.
Mini-Gallery: Barn Owl, Emma
In my opinion, Emma the Barn Owl was the most visually attractive raptor at the Carolina Raptor Center the day we shot and deserves her own mini-gallery.
Who’s who
Still working through photos from the Raptor Centen.
It seemed only fair since the raptors were so heavily photographed some of the photographers should end up in front of a camera as well. :-)
PhotoWILD: Still a challenge the second time
Photographing “birds of prey” during an event like PhotoWILD, Carolina Raptor Center, might seem like “shooting sitting ducks” (easy targets), and it may be compared to photographing them in the wild, which I have no experience with, but there’s still a bit of challenge to it as I’m still discovered after two such events.
Unexpected and creative contributions
Yesterday, two friends and fellow bloggers, Paul and Tom and I attended the Photo Wild event at the nearby Carolina Raptor Center. Paul posted a very good synopsis of the event so I won’t rehash words here about the event.
