In Flight

I spotted one of the eagles again this morning, but it quickly took flight to avoid another close-up photograph.

Eagles

Photos taken a few minutes ago.

I heard a shriek and went outdoors to investigate.  There sat these two eagles! 

My first ever eagle photos!

A Flower Painting

For some winter color, here’s a snapshot I took last fall of a painting-for-loan at the Pella Library…

Obviously, I failed to get the artist’s name in the photo.  Sorry about that---it was unintentional.

Coneflower

Today is cloudy and drab, so I searched last summer’s photo file to find something colorful. 

Its a coneflower, spruced up with a touch of dry brush and sandstone effects.

New Calf

Recently, a red and white Holstein calf was born here at our farm. 

Her parents are black and white Holsteins that have some red and white in their ancestry.  I wish she would stay this color, but we’re told she will look more black and white as she gets older.

Snow Dune

Was walking around yesterday hunting for snowdrifts to photograph.  Found this one which almost reminds me of sand dunes I saw out West many years ago.

Snowy Branches

A couple mornings ago there was snow all over the tree branches.  This photo has the “dry brush” effect applied to it.
