Day 246: Benton Lake NWR, part 1

Being alone for the long weekend, I was in no hurry to go home, so it was off to the Benton Lake National Wildlife Refuge, just north of Great Falls!  I had been told there weren’t any birds to see, but they were wrong.  I think this is a female Blue-winged Teal. (1/1000s f/8.0 ISO250 […]

Day 242

Another round of sunsets!  It was nice tonight, but cloud free, so I had to find something more than just a flaming ball… (1/8000s f/5.6 ISO250 300mm Canon 7D) This is down by Fife. (1/8000s f/5.6 ISO250 270mm 7D) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana!

Day 241

I got the Dailylife Wife a nice bunch of flowers a few days ago, before she headed back east to Nephew Paul’s pending nuptials.  It was an inexpensive bunch, and I thought the green buds might open in the heat before she left.  They did. (1/30s f/8.0 ISO200 100mm Canon 7D) We don’t know what […]

Day 240: More math…

Day 238

What Toots saw on her Motorcycle Adventure! Rainbow Falls and Dam. (All photos by Toots on her pink vetch kidizoom camera!) Downstream from Rainbow Falls. We always say it is the photographer and not the equipment, but that only goes so far.  Here are other bird photos on a better camera.  Same photographer. At the […]
