Day 93

Saturday, April 1, 2017

My friend Walter and I went up to the Benton Lake National Wildlife Refuge yesterday, an hour before dawn, to see the Sharp-tailed Grouse Strutting on the Lek, like we did last year. Next year we are only applying for the dates in May…Brrr! Oh Dark Thirty.  High ISO.  Low light! 1/10s f/5.6 ISO3200 300mm […]

Day 91

Toots was feeling a bit off today and stayed home from school.  Since the Dailylife Daughter #1 had a hair appointment, Toots and ‘Stache spent most of the morning with us.  Here is ‘Stache ‘Ole Blue Eyes having a good time. *** *** ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 90

Tuesday, March 28, 2017

Okay, I skipped a photo back at Day 86 and posted Day 87’s instead.  I have been one off since then.  Here is Day 86’s photo for Day 90, and tomorrow’s Day 91 photos will be right! <<Whew>> “Stache and I playing around, filtered through a stained glass effect, I think… ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 89

Tuesday, March 28, 2017

Kind of a nice afternoon so I went into the backyard. Spring seems to be on the way! ** Not quite a leaf, this is an old solar powered garden light.  I think it is finally dead after several years of service. Taken with my Canon 100mm f2.8 L Macro lens and M2 body! ~Curtis […]

Day 84

Friday, March 24, 2017

This one was posted on Day 219 of 2014.  I took it on August 25th of 2014. I have entered it in a couple of contests, but it never won anything significant.  Note the shooting star trace above the tree and on the left side when you click on the photo to enlarge it!  Canon […]

Day 83

Friday, March 24, 2017

An old photo probably from 2009…I found it in my wallpaper folder.  All of the pertinent EXIF data has been stripped off over the years.  I have entered it in a couple of contests, but it never won anything significant.  This is a farm North of Great Falls on the road to Ryan Dam.  The […]

Day 82

Thursday, March 23, 2017

While riding my GoldWing down by Giant Springs I saw this cloud of smoke rising up.  I stopped to see what it was.  I think a farmer is burning his field. A closer view. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>
