Its a Turkey

It's a Turkey

Well this is a shot of some trukeys. Actually when I took this there where about 20 of them in my Brother-in-laws back yard. It was really cool. Not a very pretty or graceful bird but still interesting to watch!

Frozen Stream

Frozen Stream

On the other side of the road from the barn lies this stream. I found it hard to caputre its beatuy in the camera. I hope that with more I practice I will find away to caputer the pure beauty in landscape scenery

Red Barn

Red Barn

I felt a little odd standing on the side of the road taking this picture as people zoomed by at 55 mph. As the cars went by slush from the road was picked up by their tires and flung in my direction. Several times I had to quickly dodge the slush to prevent the camera from being a target.

I pass this red barn every day on my way to work. I always wanted to pull off to the side of the road and take a picture of this barn so I finally did.

Flying Cardinal

Flying Cardinal

This was taken in my in-laws backyard. I was so surprised to see cardinals this time of year in Michigan. I really like how I was able to capture the birds as they were landing on the feeder. I hope they enjoyed the food as much as I enjoyed watching them eat.

Snow Pigeon

Snow Pigeon

Well some of us may want to shoot this song bird! No, they are not my favorite brid, but its hard to find many other types of birds still in Michigan during the dead of winter.

Taken in my front yard in, I like that I was able to capture the fresh fallen snow on the pigeons back. You probably will need to zoom in on the image to see it better.
