Eagles

The Deer don’t seem to be out this evening, but the Bald Eagles are.
Watching out the window, we saw a couple Eagles fly and land in a tree, then there were two more flying by. They all few off to other trees too far to get good photos of, all but one. This one eagle landed in the field and started munching on something. I waited and waited for him to fly again. No dice. So what did I do? Stalk. I walked out in the field watching for his head to pop up. As his would rise, I’d stop waiting for him to start eating again and take a few more steps. This only last a few stop and go’s until he thought I was too close and flew off.

April Old Style

I think it’s been quite some time since I’ve seen an April the way I remember it as being.

Wolf on Keweenaw Point

I haven’t posted these before, so here they are.

We were setting along the shore enjoying the wonderful view near the rocket launch site at the very tip on the Keweenaw Peninsula. I thought it would be a good time to get moving, but as I stood up, something caught the corner of my eye. Looking across a small bay I saw it…a wolf. Thoughts were running through my head, photos, gather the dogs, shit, photos, gather the dogs, shit. We were able to get the dogs on their lead’s and I started firing shots off with the camera.
