Happy Friday!

A bit of a mixed bag for you today.  I took another route home last night and encountered a variety photographic opportunities.  I had a car behind me that was obviously in a big hurry and since I wasn’t, I pulled over to the shoulder to let them pass and when I looked further down the hill I saw two eagles on this half-frozen pond tussling over what looks to me like an otter.

One of the eagles took part of the prize and flew away with it in his beak (which I did not realize until looking at the pictures during processing) while his antagonist won the main prize.  It was quite the battle for awhile.  Interestingly enough our local newspaper had a picture of two eagles fighting over food on the ice of the Mississippi River on their front page this morning.

So I stayed there for awhile watching the lone eagle work on his meal and then continued my journey.

There are portrait, landscape, wedding, and a large number of other photography professionals and enthusiasts who tend to specialize in one form of photography or another.  I’m beginning to think I’m just a “road photographer.”  🙂

I drive around until something catches my interest and then I stop, photograph it and then back on the road.  I really haven’t found one type of photography that I prefer over another.  I love it all!

I’ll leave you with this image of this great tree.  I had to make a U-turn to photograph it but I couldn’t resist.  It would have looked better ensconced in a blanket of snow but it is still impressive.  I’ll have to remember where it is and photograph it in the Summer and Fall.

That’s all I have for today.  Should be a warm day here in the lower 60s.

Thanks for visiting the blog.  Enjoy your day and be careful.
