Asymmetry in my images appeals to me, particularly with birds in flight. Yesterday I got two successive photos like that of a Northern Harrier as it quickly changed direction.
Plus my take on the merits of digital frames around our images.
Three days ago in western Utah I spent some quality time with a cooperative immature Ferruginous Hawk. It had been a while.
It’s been much too long since I’ve had a Ferruginous Hawk with photographic potential in my viewfinder but yesterday morning this young bird came through for me big time.
Last year in this general location in the mountains I could only get harsh sidelight on the feeding nuthatches but yesterday morning I had a great light angle. It made a big difference.
I was happy to get this stately fellow against the skyline but It took a while before it happened.
I have a soft spot for coyotes that goes all the way back to my time growing up on the Montana farm.
Late yesterday afternoon and last night I began receiving multiple requests from blog followers for the recipe for the cheese manicotti I talked about in yesterday’s post. This is it.
I was mostly unprepared for this unexpected opportunity yesterday afternoon but thankfully I had my backup camera gear with me.
White-crowned Sparrows are common in my area but they’re a favorite of mine and I see far more juveniles than adults so I was pleased to get this handsome adult up close in my viewfinder.
Grebes of all species very rarely try to walk or even come out of the water onto a solid surface. Because of their unusual anatomy standing and walking are almost impossible tasks but this one made the attempt anyway. The results were hilarious.
Dragging her next meal over all the bumpy obstacles was almost too much for the struggling falcon.
