Day 86

Saturday, March 29, 2014

Looking South East from Wiremill (Rainbow Dam?) Road.  I always knew it as Wiremill, but the signs now say Rainbow Dam Road. From Left to Right: The back of the Rainbow Dam Power Complex; the BNSF Trestle above Rainbow Dam; straight down the road and across the river is Giant Springs State Park; in the […]

Day 82

Saturday, March 22, 2014

I went down to Giant Springs with Toots this morning.  We saw a variety of ducks (waterfowl), but most of them were across the river.  I have found when it is cold like today, there is a very slight steam rising from the water, and it is hard to get a really sharp photo, even […]

Day 78

Tuesday, March 18, 2014

A couple of weekends ago I had a pretty good day down on the river.  I saw several species that I either hadn’t seen before, or were pretty rare.  This is a Tufted Duck in flight. (1/500s f/8.0 ISO200 300mm +1/2 stop Canon 7D) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>
