Under the Gaze of Eagles

Across the Salmon River, north of Stanley, ID, and on the other side of the road, atop the power line, eagles had built an enormous nest and were tending to their young.

The Barn with an Owl

The barn in which the owl was hiding from the bright light of day.

The Owl

While photographing an abandoned old barn in Mackay, Idaho, I spotted this owl perched on the rafter.

Mayflies and Mosquitoes

Thompson Reservoir, Carlton, MN

It would have been a much more peaceful evening if the mayflies hadn’t been in the middle of a major hatch and the mosquitoes hadn’t been so thick.  But, that’s northern Minnesota for you.

This will be my last post from Minnesota this month as I am headed to Oregon later this week for an extended photo trip.  I will be beginning with a sunset composition along the coast and then be driving back through the mountains, visiting Yellowstone and, I hope, Devil’s Tower.  I am also planning to shoot some prairie homesteads and wide open spaces in the Dakotas.

On the Beach

Playing with arrangements and allowing the waves to wash over and add shine.
