For Mr. I-Rons and Windmills








It seems as of late whenever I carry my camera it rains or wants to rain real bad.  There is still always something to photograph.
Kelly is the Master PM.  I have heard that he is pretty darn good at fishing.  On the way back from Naples tonight I photographed a spot that he said he has fished before.  Like he said it was beautiful!  It was pouring most of the time my camera was out.  The benefit...saturated greens and contrasting colors.  If I was a fisherman I could dig this place too.  What I did find that will get me back there one of these weekends is a fishing area for Osprey.  They like the tall dead tree and a slow moving river below the tree.  What a spot.  Two birds were fishing.  Put me in a catatonic state for a few minutes.  At this location you have to park quite a walk from the river.  And there is a great drop in elevation.  By the time I went back to the truck and back down it would have been pretty late.  With very low light conditions and the hike to and from the truck, I could not shoot the birds today.    "I'll Be Back"

The photograph of the wind generating "windmill" was from the freeway close to Evanston, Wyoming.  I could not resist the taking the shot.  As I have said many times when nature offers that kind of contrast I will have my camera out to figure a shot.    Mother nature never fails when it comes to lighting!

I love the windmill shot! The lighting is marvelous! I have a lot of "I'll be back" places- especially when I don't get it right the first time- I always want to try again!
