Sign Owl

This was the only thing close to a good raptor shot I got this winter.  He was very cooperative, barely even payed attention to me.  He just needed to be on a better perch.  Maybe he was just looking for snowy owls too.

I've got this as my desktop right now, mostly because it's got some holidays colors to it.

Looking back at 2011

I've been going back at looking at my photos from this year - I guess it's that time of year. Overall I didn't get a lot of photo opps this year. Too busy with the Shootout, flooding in some favorite locations including some favorite fall spots made things difficult.
But I did get a trip into the Southwest. My new favorite spot out of that was White Sands National Monument. I spent a day and a half there and would go back if it wasn't in a remote place. I have a few more from there to come.

Finally, some shooting time

It's been a pretty busy summer and not much good for shooting. I did get a few of the good old river sunset shots like above, always good a good spot for some reflection.
I'm hoping that I get a little fall shooting in soon, after the Roundup, the Shootout, the Hunt, the Vikings games and more hunting.....sometime.

Lots of water

There's still a lot of water around Pierre, but at least there's more access to the river now that it's going down. This was taken at Little Bend Rec Area, just before the moonrise in the shot below.

Full Moon over the Missouri

I don't believe it's too often that you get a full moon right at dusk, but I caught this one last week. I was coming up right behind me and luckily I was at Little Bend Rec Area, so I had angles of the river all around me.
