Field & Stream

Took a couple of days to go visit Ricketts Glen in Pennsylvania this week. We spent about 12 hours there over 2 days and only saw 7 of the 22 waterfalls.
The scenes observed on the trails were nothing short of amazing. Here are a few shots I picked out from my initial review of the files.
I need to get back there and soon.
Orion is my 7yo Vizsla butterfly finding buddy. In this image, you see him waiting for my next command as we search the forest for Mourning Cloak butterflies. Orion is trained to respond to hand signals for field direction (a'la Delmar Smith's, silent command system ). On this day, we did not find any.
Yesterday (Easter Sunday, 27 March), we returned to find two, but they were flying and did not land. So no 'coming-out party' photos. When I warms-up in a few days, we'll try again.
Finally, yesterday in these woods, to my (and Orion's) surprise, he locked point on a mature male Wild Turkey. Just I turned to get a closer look, it flushed with a loud BOOM/SQUAWK. Imagine a 4 foot diameter ball of feathers shot out of a cannon as it turned on its afterburners, instantly clearing the tree-tops of this mature Oak/Maple forest and trimming its wings as it sail off to land safely in a distant Buckthorn thicket. I was caught totally off guard, so (again) no photos. Very impressive !

My camera caught the surface water just above these 2 beautiful spawning Kokanee Salmon which are non-anadromous, meaning that they do not migrate to the sea, instead living out their entire lives in freshwater.
Anderson Gardens, Rockford, IL
I just found out that this image received a second place in the Macro category of the first annual Anderson Gardens photo contest. Yahoo!!!!
It's been a while since a Sunday morning tour presented any decent photo ops. This morning turned out to be promising, thus the title.

Elvers, also known as glass eels, are the juvenile life stage of the American eel (Anguilla rostrata). After spawning in the Sargasso Sea, elvers are carried by ocean currents to coastal rivers and estuaries along the Atlantic coast, where they begin their life in freshwater habitats. I collected this one from a stream in eastern Sussex County, Delaware. The coloration is a reflection off the gravel.

A leaf in suspended animation as the fog lifts, the corn ripens, other leaves turn color and join this one on the ground. I reluctantly prepare for the inevitable changes this all foretells.
The quiet colors,
Surround me.
A fluid flowing mix,
Of vibrant solitude.
Moments captured,
And visions shared.
I leave you now,
On my journey to fulfill,
This passion I possess.

The role of the spotter (also called the observer) in a sniper/ spotter team is to give the target location tothe sniper, provide windage and distance information, spot bullet impact, and make corrections. It may also be the spotter's responsibility to provide security for the sniper, in which case he will be armed with an M-16, M4, M-14 with scope, or teeth.

Scenes like this one in Denali National Park, an overnight Caribou kill, aren't commonly seen and photographed by so many Park visitors as this September day in 2004. In just one afternoon, we were able to photograph wolves on a caribou kill, as well as a Grizzly Bear boar (separately). As wildlife photographers, we can say that this was one of our all-time favorite scenes to capture!

This fascinating work of art is called "Field and Stream" and was created by gluing parts of puzzles onto wood to create the pattern. Al Souza, the creator of this work definately knows how to think outside the box! (I wonder if he put all the puzzles together as well.)
This series of pictures was taken the Sunday before my surgery and since I am working on a photography class, I had my new camera set on manual for all these shots. They were taken at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, AR. Founded in 2005 by Alice Walton (Wal-Mart Founders family) it is named for the nearby Crystal Springs and the bridge theme in its construction. This is truly an impressive place and any of you that visit me here will automatically get a chance to shoot at the museum
Fall colour over the creek, Nova Scotia. Carolinian forest type exists in the far south-east tip of this Canadian province fostered by warm ocean currents from the Gulf of Mexico. International migratory bird watching has become a welcome income earner around this relatively small but very unique, unspoiled area.
This is the culmination of my quest to find the right machine to fulfill my "Jeep Thing" passion. Part of that "thing", involves adding, subtracting and changing some of it's features, to create a personalized result. Not only that, having a Jeep, works very well with having a camera. It can get me to pretty much any place I'd want to go, to pursue my other passion...photography.
Just a quick post before I get out of town for a Kentucky weekend ...
Here's a picture from last June taken from an overlook in Utah's Dixie National Forest. I post it as a sort of addendum to my recent political rants. A lot of people are going to have their choice of any number of issues to rant about over the next four years. Here's mine.
One of the effects I suggested we'd see of the coming Trump administration was a mass sell-off of public lands. This elicited more skepticism from people on both sides of the political aisle than any other of my predicted "Things to Watch Out For." Environmentalist types seem to think that certain protections for patches of land are set in stone and unchangeable. Several people on the right suggested that any such effort to get rid of federal land would lead to popular revolt, either from right-leaning outdoorsy types who use federal lands for hunting and such, or from the Congress that represents them. I tend to think the efforts will come mostly from that Congress, which is full of people who've been itching to have a new Land Rush that brings back Jeffersonian agrarianism, or something.
It seems that one day in, the Congress has already taken the first steps to prove me right. Here's a link. (People like to discount sources that disagree with their preconceived beliefs these days, so it you don't like Field & Stream, there are plenty of other places to find this. It probably won't be on Breitbart.)
Now, some might say, "Well, that's okay. They just want to give the land to the states. That's how it should be." To which I reply that it's been proven time and again that states have far less interest in preserving a piece of land than Washington. States look at land such as this piece of southeastern Utah and see dollar signs. "There's oil underneath those hills," they say. "Or gas. Or uranium. Or anything more valuable than some stupid hill. The grass, we can sell to ranchers. We can cover the hills with cattle at the same time we dig it all out beneath them. And don't worry if it makes a mess, because then we can call the feds to clean it up."
Utah's one of the states I see this most likely to play out, as they've been chafing over what they see as federal land grabs for decades. I'm also personally worried about a patch of land recently made a national monument in Maine. I wouldn't be surprised to see it all start in one of those two places.
The thing to be aware of is that no protection is inviolable. There's some question as to whether a president can rescind a national monument proclamation made by a previous president. An opinion written by the attorney general in 1938 suggests presidents don't have that authority, but an attorney general's opinion doesn't carry the weight of law. And Congress can rescind anything they want. They could remove a national park designation if they wanted to ... and if they get two terms of Trump without losing the Senate, then I expect that will be a second term push. (There are parks in Alaska and North Dakota, for instance, more than half of Congress would love to see erased.) In the meantime, I expect the focus to be mostly on national forests like this one in Utah and land in Western states currently managed by the BLM, along with a few high profile but undeveloped Park Service sites like Katahdin Woods.
