Two views

It may not look cold, but It was. I guess I had some drone fever, so I flew the drone to capture a few photos ... from a different perspective.

There are two photos here. The fist shot was taken with my iPhone. Yes, I had my camera with me, but I find this triple camera so compelling. That photo is just great.

The other photo was captured from the drone at about 50 feet. Two views, only separated by time and vertical space.

Out For Dinner

It has been a while since I saw a Downy Woodpecker. We actually saw more than one, but it was difficult to get a good count. They were eating at this feeder at Big Woods. Cold weather .. eat out for dinner.

Lost In The Beauty

Teresa and I take a very different approach to photography. She tends to see shots like this one that I often miss. I am normally looking for birds, and larger landscapes. See she’s the fine details in the flowers and nature. I think that is why we like to hike .. we see the same thing very differently. That is a good thing .. in my opinion.

I think the cricket is lost. I love the details in this photo. Teresa took this photo in Maui. It’s among the photos I had not shared yet. I love this photo, and the photographer is beautiful too.

Bird Hotel … With Vacancies

It is an interesting time of year to walk around outdoors. The trees look like vacant hotels .. yes, bird hotels. Some of the larger trees have 3, 4 or even 5 empty next. In a few months, it all starts anew.

Snow, Creek, and Sunshine

Normally I avoid posting photos in this aspect ratio. I prefer 16:9 because they post better on other social media platforms, especially facebook. This photo is one fo the few exceptions. Why? Because to really share the image, it needs a larger canvas. I was closer to the scene when I took the shot, and photographed it with a wider lens.

The shadows on the water help to make this a cool photo. It was a cold day, and there was still some snow around. It’s one of those late fall days when winter has arrived early.

Lastly, today is a special day for me. Two years ago today I was at Ohio State at The James Cancer Center for surgery .. life is fragile and fleeting so enjoy every moment. My thoughts linked here
