I stopped by Bush Lake Park on the way home yesterday. Had to get some practice in. We’re heading off to the Netherlands and Switzerland tomorrow. Should be fun. I hope to bring back several really good pictures from that trip. I plan on focusing on photography quite a bit. Taking all the gear and [...]

Taken at Lake Minnetonka park. Took the dog there. It’s been a long time since we have been there.
This was sitting there in the sun on a mostly overcast day. I liked the lines, the shadows and the contrast.

I decided to stop at the flower shop and pick up some test subjects. We picked up a few flowers and a couple of vases for a photo shoot.

This is a barn that I drive by frequently. I hadn’t noticed the colors and general look of it until I passed by in the early morning just after the sun came up.

I just love this [...]

I saw this big guy fly right over my head, very close to my head, actually. Luckily, he decided to have lunch on a tree close to our house. I was able to get inside and get the camera while he [...]

Here is another picture of one of the eagles mentioned yesterday. I have several very good pictures but they are all variations on these. I have to go back and see if I can get a picture of them sitting in the tree. That was beautiful.

As we were driving home today from some running, we saw a pair of bald eagles sitting in a tree. HUGE eagles sitting in a tree. I got turned around, stopped, got on the Canon 75-200 F/2.8 L lens. As I was walking towards them, they took off. I’m not sure if they were hungry [...]

There is something about the moon during the day. We were walking the dog when I saw this one.
A little further on, it got better….
