Eagles of Lac Seul

On a recent fishing trip to Silver Water Wheel Lodge on Lac Seul I was lucky to get some close up photos of the majestic Bald Eagle.

Monument Valley

Last Month I had a wonderful trip to Arizona Golf with good friends and took a little side trip to Sedona, Flagstaff and Monument Valley.  Unfortunately there was a haze over the valley and long panoramic shots did not come out well so most of these are near shots to limit the haze.

Yesterday I took this photo of a Carolina Anole on our deck.  He's a member of the Chameleon family and is currently courting his spring mate by puffing his ruby throat.  This photo was taken with a D600 Nikon, ISO 200, 300mm, F/5.6, 1/800 sec,.

Snowy Suwanee Winter Morning

Rain Sleet and Snow and no the Postman did not deliver. Very unusual photos for Georgia however the snow was refreshing and a nice change from the drab browns and grays of a Georgia winter.

Montana Elk Hunting

Great week of hunting Elk in Montana.  Eight hunters in Elk Camp and 5 Tagged Bull Elk and one a nice Mule Deer.  The week started with very warm weather (for Montana) and the Elk were not moving, one Bull tagged the first day.  Day two was equally warm and no one had a shot at Elk. Day three the weather turned, the wind started to blow, snow came from the sky and Elk were moving everywhere. That was my lucky day and a Nice Five by Five at 380 yards became my first Bull Elk.

If you decide to go Elk Hunting, I highly recommend Dome Mountain Ranch in Emigrant, MT. Great hospitality, knowledgeable guides, good food and Elk a plenty.  Go to www.domemountainranch.com

Yellowstone Park near Mammoth Hot Springs

Day two in Yellowstone early in the morning and game is everywhere.  Only one picture of Bison, but saw hundreds and hundreds of the little devils. Rather amazing to see a Six by Six Bull and his ladies laying in a yard as construction workers and cars stream by.  They know that they are protected in Yellowstone and behave accordingly.

Bighorn National Forest and Yellowstone

Long travel from Rapid City, SD, decided to take the long way through Big Horn and then Yellowstone Park and shot a few Pics along the way.  Amazing country, can't figure out how our fore fathers traveled through this land with primitive means
