Day 137: Color at Night … Color in the Day

I will admit I did not work hard for today’s bird photograph. I was too darned tired after staying up most of the night photographing the great northern lights display. Thus, I was extremely happy when this purple finch flew into the yard and posed for today’s photograph. I hoped you enjoy today’s color … from the night and day.

Link to my other blog, Lake Superior Waves if you wish to see more Northern Lights photos from last night. I enjoyed three hours on Boulder Lake in northern Minnesota.

Day 136: Swimming Off into the Sunrise!

There was just a few minutes at dawn this morning before the rains and mosquitoes made life outside horrible. Thankfully, these Canadian Geese provided a great photo opportunity!

Line up together now for the sunrise!

Day 135: Theft in the Morning!

Was hanging out with three good looking babes down at the beach. They started fighting. I decided to go fishing. Life was good till … (sequence of photos where a common merganser gets robbed of its fish by a herring gull)

The ladies are starting to fight. I’m going fishing!
