The Heavens

The weather report called for snow flurries today. When I looked out of my 9th floor office window at work today, I didn't see any flurries, but I did see this breath taking view of the sky. I thought shooting the clouds in this scene with a mixture of a high ISO along with knocking off a few stops made for a neat effect. (We did end up getting some flurries later this afternoon.)

Veterans Day

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served! One of the things I enjoy about being in the military is we get off for all Federal Holidays. Having the day off from work gave me an excellent chance to get out again and shoot some wildlife photos. Here is what i came up with.

These Canadian Geese flew overhead giving me just a few seconds to get this shot off.


I found this guy relaxing on the water.


On my way out of the woods, I came accross this Squirl perched on a stump.

Smoke On The Water

I took the day off of work today to celebrate the second birthday of my twin daughters. Their birthday was actually yesterday, but I could not get off until today. I decided to take the opportunity to wake up early and go back to Huntley Meadows, my favorite spot. I got there just as the sun came up. Today was the warmenst day we have had in weeks. As the sun broke through, I noticed a slight fog on the water. The fog along with the Fall foilage made for some interesting shots.
