Finally cleaning out the pics from this past weekend’s two outings, this time concentrating on the birds on a foggy morning. We’ve already gotten a decent impression of how foggy from the previous post about it, so you understand why we have images that look like this:
This osprey (Pandion haliaetus) had announced its presence earlier, when another flew overhead
This past weekend I got back to my old stomping grounds, a metaphor that I don’t exactly know the origin of and hopefully it’s not another that’s sports related, but by this I mean the area that I lived in until not quite two years ago, a more central portion of central North Carolina. Sure, I’ve done this numerous times since we moved, but this time I had some time, the
It’s taking a little longer to get to this than intended, because other things keep happening, and I’ve decided that there are enough images to go along with it that I’m going to split it into two posts this is the first. So let’s go out to Lake Mattamuskeet, North Carolina.
The Girlfriend and I have been planning to do this trip since we moved to the new
Back on Wednesday when it was Word Snake Day, I went down to Goose Creek State Park specifically to find some snakes, which failed miserably. This did mean, however, that I got into a few areas that I hadn’t been before, and I went prepared for other subjects, so I captured a few images that worked for the overall bloggetty theme, if not for the day itself. So we now get to those.
Looking out
The Girlfriend and I did a relatively brief trip to Goose Creek State Park, shit, over a week ago now, where I snagged a small handful of photos – nothing exciting, but an outing nonetheless. The key part, as always when down near the water, is that I was on the lookout for eagles, of which I saw none. (On a latter trip this past weekend, we found what appeared to be eagle nests in two different
So does your readership, and in fact, your actual existence – is there anyone actually reading? Plowing ahead anyway…
I have two pairs of very similar photos for you to evaluate, and all I’m looking for is which you like best. Not asking about artistic merit, or which shows better details, or whether I should give up photography and go back to, um… something… just which
It’s been a few days since I got these, delayed partially by being busy (I keep saying that, and we’re close to finding out why) and partially because I knew it would take a while to write up the post. And I’m going to do things out of order because it’s better that way, maybe.
Once again, Jordan lake, but before the trip down to catch the ISS transiting the moon,
The Simian Mr Bugg and I had an outing to Jordan Lake the other day, once again ostensibly for a sunset that never materialized, but during the run-up to that time, we chased a few bird photos. Yet as the title says, there are fewer here than it seems. Above, an osprey (Pandion hailaetus) remained perched on this dead tree for a long time – you’ll see it again a little later on.
The wind
I had an outing this past Saturday, once again down at Jordan Lake due to Buggato doing the choosing, and the activity there wasn’t impressive in the slightest – in fact, while sorting the images, I realized that I was taking far too many photos of ‘birds overhead,’ not only deleting the majority of them, but vowing from here on out to trip the shutter only when things looked
Once again, clearing out a bunch of recent photos that aren’t related to one another and don’t make a narrative, but far be it from me to post something without words. I mean, c’mon…
On one of the trips down to Jordan Lake, I didn’t see a whole lot of action, though a couple of osprey (Pandion haliaetus) cruised overhead, perhaps hunting, perhaps
