Happy Wednesday!
Only one image for you today. I sort of overslept and now only have time for this quick post.
Enjoy your day and be careful.
Happy Monday!
Hey something besides eagles. 🙂
Okay I’ll admit there have been a lot of eagles on this blog of late but I have 1,500 images of them so I’m going to show a few more over the next weeks. But last Friday I did go looking for other things to photograph.
I photographed this barn several years ago in the Spring of the year. I had forgotten about it but when I went by it I knew I had to photograph it again.
One lone fishing boat on the river by the lock and dam. There was a pretty good expanse of open water below the dam, which allowed these fishermen to put their boat in the water. I would suspect they probably put it in on the Wisconsin side of the river.
Although I wasn’t particularly looking for eagles at the dam there were none to be found. Normally at Winter time they will sit on the ice near open water and fish from there. This year I have not seen one eagle at the lock and dam. The 16th Street Basin is completely frozen over so there is no wildlife there either.
Three years ago there were a lot of blue herons fishing at the Basin and I got a lot of great images of them fishing from the ice. I haven’t seen a heron at the Basin in a long time.
I’m sorry I couldn’t go a whole post without throwing in one eagle image.
That’s it for today. Thanks for checking out the blog. Enjoy your day and be careful.
I don’t know what it is about my barns that fascinates me. When I’m out looking for images to capture I do not go looking for barns. Perhaps it is that during my formative years I worked on farms and spent a great deal of time in these barns. Who knows. I just know I enjoy photographing them and they always seem to draw my attention as I’m driving down the road. There’s been more than few times that I’ve done a u-turn and headed back the way we came. Jeanne will usually say, “You saw a barn didn’t you?” 🙂
These images are from Tuesday evening when I took an alternative way home. It was the golden hour and most of the time it doesn’t really matter what you put in front of your lens if the light is right.
I’ve photographed this old shed before. I think a couple of years ago in the summer time. It sits in a valley and I just like the way it looks when sitting on the hill overlooking the valley. I was looking though some of my archives but stopped after a couple of years not finding this structure. I know I photographed it, perhaps in 2010.

Toward the end of my photo session Tuesday I was heading west on this county road. Talk about a feeling of desolation. The temperature was 3 above and the wind was blowing 20 – 30 mph. I’ll be honest, I didn’t get out of the car to shoot this. I stopped the car and stuck my hand / camera out and took a number of shots hoping to get one good enough to share. My fingers were numb. 🙂
That’s enough rambling for one day. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoy your cold day. Be careful.
