Day 168…Flowers along the Trail, Part 1

Friday, June 17, 2011

Last week I took a walk along the River’s Edge Trail from the upper overlook downstream about half a mile and back.  I saw a lot of flowers along the way… (1/350, f8, 125mm, ISO 400, +1/2 stop) Horizontal photos are sized for wallpaper! (1/350, f8, 135mm, ISO 320, +1/2 stop) (1/250, f8, 135mm, ISO […]

Those baby geese down on the river aren’t so small anymore… (1/750, f8, 400mm, ISO 400, +1/2 stop) And what would a post about geese be without a pair of Griebes? (1/1000, f8, 400mm, ISO 400, +1/2 stop) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 163

Monday, June 13, 2011

This is a blossom on one of the trees in the backyard. (1/45, f22, 85mm, ISO 1000, -1/2 stop) It was very dull lighting.  I needed to use a high ISO (sensitivity) to handle my small aperture that I needed to try to get the whole flower in focus, hence it is a little grainy […]

Day 162

Another panorama, taken a few minutes ago.  The slough off has increased.  Still lots of water out there…The Dailylife Life is in the car watching it all. (Five photos from the Nikon Coolpix L11, stitched in  MS ICE) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 161

Saturday, June 11, 2011

Lots of water going over the dam… (Four photos stitched together in MS ICE) Note the sloughing off of the ground in the lower right corner.  This is what caused the upper overlook to close for several months last fall, while they  tried to stabilize the ground.  This photo is at the lower overlook, and […]

Day 159

Sunday, June 5, 2011

Here are the chicks the killdeer were trying to keep me from.  They don’t stand even four inches tall, but were running all over the place! (1/2000, f8, 400mm, ISO 400, -1/2 stop) There were two chicks (at least) running around, but I was never able to get both of them in focus in the […]

Day 158

Sunday, June 5, 2011

Closer to home, I found a couple killdeer up behind Giant Springs this morning. (1/1000, f5.6, 135mm, ISO 100, -1/2 stop) He was puffing himself up trying to distract me from the chicks (I wasn’t near the nest) while I was changing my lens, then he never did it again… (1/1500, f8, 400mm, ISO 250, […]

Day 145

Sunday, May 22, 2011

The Mighty Missouri is in full flow.  I have seen more water than this going over the dam…I think…Rainbow Falls and Dam. Usually you can walk across most of Crooked Falls without getting your socks wet… Still the Nikon Coolpix. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>
