Had a few great creative moments today….. While trying to get a shot of an elusive flying squirrel I spotted this Red Tailed Hawk. Had to scramble down an embankment to get this shot of the hawk as he came into the clearing over the lake.

Then this fellow circled round….at first I thought it was the immature Bald Eagle we have at the park….then he flapped his wings and gave away his identity……Turkey Vulture.

Never the less….it was a great day of mixing nature and creativity.

4 days of having snow here in NE Georgia…

Since I was a kid I have always wanted to get that classic photo of a male Cardinal in the snow…..and two days ago was my big break. Temperatures in the upper 20’s, fresh snow, sky overcast, and freezing rain filling up the tops of my boots and cap…I pretended I was a National Geographic photographer and headed out.

The light was not very favorable….so I composed these frames with Japanese style for ink drawings in mind. The effect is whimsical and in a few of the pics you can get a glimpse of the Cardinal’s comic side.

The next day the lighting was much better….but the male Cardinal stayed up in the top of the tree…but managed to get a few crisp pictures of a female Cardinal….and later the male…

Today in NE Georgia we got about 4 inches of snow….

Headed outside to take some pictures and came across a fun group of Chipping Sparrows…..

Below is their version of the 2014 Winter Olympics…..

Before breakfast it had already begun to snow here in Georgia. On our back porch we have a hanging mesh of thistle seed and the local birds keep it busy. Pulled out the telephoto lens and snapped these photos through the glass of our back door.
