October thunder
Not a cool as thunder snow
I love Ohio
Category: Photography
Of fleeting light and photos
Stunning sunset dusk
Many photos snapped and shared
Yet only seen once
Blackbird Haiku
Blackbirds have returned
Rattling calls on high branches
Red wings flash in flight
Haiku for a digital camera
Composition? Ha!
We used to waste all that film
Now we just delete
Eastlake peregrine falcons
My brother-in-law generously allowed be to borrow his 100-400 lens to try on my Canon Rebel. (Thanks Paul!) So I decided to try it out at the Eastlake fishing pier. I expected to see ducks, didn’t see many. However, there was a pair of peregrine falcons on the break wall with some prey they had captured. I think it was a gull. I will get better at using the lens, but still manged to capture a few OK shots.
Duck, Duck, Gull
Lake Erie still has a great deal of ice covering its surface. However, it also has some spots of open water. Today I saw a great number and variety of ducks and gulls. I even saw a heron.
This little red-breasted merganser swam by and gave me an opportunity to admire his red eye and beautiful feathers.
Driftwood and Ice
When you think of driftwood you probably think of a beach. When you think of a beach you probably think of summer breezes and sunscreen. I live in Ohio and near Lake Erie. I know that summer is fleeting and that the beach is actually there in all four seasons. A couple of years ago I captured this image on my cell phone. Enjoy!
