A Hawk flyby

It has been cold and we have had some snow this week here in Ohio. I took a drive on Monday evening, accompanied by my camera. Not far from town I saw what looked like two birds in a scuffle. As it turns out, one of them was this young Broad-Winged Hawk. I suspect the other one was a Field Sparrow or Winter Wren. There was a lot of activity with smaller birds trying to feed, and I assume the hawk tried to pick one of them off. I caught this photo as the hawk was retreating.

Cold and brewing

The Miami River has been partially frozen this week. Temperatures were well below freezing, and the river looked really cool. Yes, it is winter!

Personally I’m doing a lot of brewing too. No, I’m not in the ‘brew’ business.  Brew as, “in to contrive, plan, or bring about”. More soon enough.

The road to the mountiain

One of the best things about driving while Teresa is with me is that she takes great pictures, and lots of them. We had just left Springdale and were heading to St George. Teresa capture several great photos, including this one. 

This photo makes it look like the road goes right into the mountain .. or under it. Great photo.

Bryce Amphitheater

The Bryce Amphitheater viewed from Inspiration Point.  

I took this photo at Bryce Canyon. I have no words to describe this view .... just amazing.

Springdale, a view and that river again

After the amazing drive through Zion National Park, we stayed at this Springhill Suites Marriott in Springdale, Utah. The view from the hotel was amazing. The photo to the right is from the hotel website.  

We had dinner at a local burger place, then went to bed. After a very good nights rest, we awoke energized by the view. We took several photos before we headed south, including the photo above. Teresa captured this shot just before we drove off. I love this photo. Water always makes a photo better, but the overall scene is so cool.  

This is the North Fork Virgin River. We spend so much of our drive crisscrossing the Virgin River, so it was fitting that we spent the night within feet of the this fork of the river. 

If you are visiting Zion National Park, I can recommend this hotel. You can camp in the area too, but I like sleeping in a big king size bed.
