Lakeside Sunset

Went out to Chalco Hills tonight to see how the wildlife was doing and ran across this. There were quite a few types of birds flying and the numbers are way up from the last trip out. We will be heading to Squaw Creek here soon the migration should commence any day now.

Its still cold out but we have edged past are hard freeze date with no serious stretch of below zero this winter season.

Have a great weekend and thanks for commenting.

Supercell Sunset

A conversion to B&W for our camera club contest this month. Weather is the subject and i will enter this in the assigned monochrome category....it is a print competition as well so i had to put it up to get a print .....let me know if the processing works for you. When i posted the color version of this i got a lot of comments about the bottom of the image being dark so let me know, i have quite a winning streak going there....i helping to teach them as well and they all do so well, it is a tuff place to win.

I gave my presentation last week at the camera club and it went well.....i hope they power vacation as i do. 

Springfield Nebraska, the cold front advances across Nebraska the daylong siege of thunderstorms are pushed southward for Texas to enjoy tomorrow. The sunset explodes on the horizon behind me as the wind drives hard at my back.

Colorful Cold

At five below zero the day started me
For such wonderful sights, today we should see
The rainbow of colors leap to the sky
My fingers are so cold, i'm about to cry

The viewfinder is foggy
Much like the mind 
My knees are knocking 
Some global warming, we must find

Had the opportunity to chase these folks across Wisconsin this last weekend, also got out to the countryside as well and took some images....Went by Dells Mill and met Gus.....another days story.

Have a great day!

Hot Air Affair

Hudson Wisconsin this weekend had the Ballooners parade thru town and let off some hot air.....it's five below zero and snowing.

A six second exposure, my fingers are frozen.

From here we went to the shoreline to watch the fireworks over the frozen river.

Happy Monday, thanks for your comment.

Milling Around

Rising quickly over a horizon of fall foliage the sun reflects the forest of of color that surrounds Dells Millpond as Bridge Creek flows across the dam. The aroma of hickory bacon frying on the millers stove escapes the open windows of the Mill while the hound bays he has treed the raccoon where the river enters the millpond just a short distance away. The bald eagle circles above as I sip my last swig of coffee, i'm amazed that the algae has formed an image of an Indian crossing the pond below the dam.

Submitting this to the state DNR photo and writing contest.

Have a great day, please leave me a comment, let me know your thoughts.

Scenic Silos

These banners are hung on the side of a now closed grain elevator just southwest of downtown Omaha Nebraska. The banners are about a hundred feet long by twenty feet wide. 

Happy Birthday goes out to my brother Tom today.

It took me a bit to process this, quite a challenging place to shoot. Please let me know if i'm on the right track, leave me a comment.

Holy Mackerel

Thanks again go out to the staff at St.Cecelia Cathedral in Omaha Nebraska for allowing the Omaha Camera Club access to all those wonderful flower displays during the Flower Festival last weekend.

I thought the rays of sun on yesterdays Image I call "Snake pit" were cool too. The sun is there only about a week then it's to many degrees above the horizon and is cut off by the road above......cool huh.

Please leave me a comment let me know how this looks.
