13FEB2013 One Million Plus Went down to Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge yesterday......lots to see! These are Canadian Geese, there were over six hundred trumpeter swans too.... Just before the mass lift-off there seems to be a lot of discussion in the pond about just that......then from almost total silence they start and it sounds like a freight train coming toward you, the sky goes dim and all you hear is the birds wings flapping, totally astonishing. Its forty degrees out and the wind is out of the south at ten to twenty MPH. So we got two goose bombs to the windshield that was the extent of the crap.......literally, i too though it would be everywhere. Also there were no impact deaths from inflight collisions...on our part of the lake, the carnage is laying all over the place though, some caused impact craters two feet in diameter, surely would have killed a human on impact.....in all my years flying thats the scariest thing to go through, a bird strike. Have a great day!
11FEB2013 Hudson Glow This seemed like it lasted ten seconds at best, again very cold and snowing hard out in Hudson Wisconsin. Have a great week!
09FEB2013 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.
08FEB2013 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.

31JAN2013 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.
30JAN2013 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.
