First time out with the camera for nearly 4 months on Monday night.
Local Barley field in some rather nice light.
Another senior portrait shot of my daughter April in a wheat field west of Missoula.

Looking up the Dee valley near Braemar as heavy evening clouds (and a downpour, about 10 minutes away) move in from the west.
Happy Fence Friday~!

I saw several acres on fire like this on a drive back from Hobart. Looked quite spectacular on a large scale. Apparently burning controls weeds and pests, and improves yields in the season after burning - a better solution than chemical pesticides and fertilisers~!
Foggy Morning in December of 2007. Photo was taken near Kansas City mo. Welcome to the heartland of America.
As of right now, I don’t have any foreign destination weddings planned for 2013. I did have one penciled in for Morocco but the venue provided a photographer, so I’m sticking around here. And that’s not a bad thing. I’m taking off May and June since our son is due in late May and don’t know what kind of time commitment having a newborn is going to require. Sure I’d love to spend 100% of my time with my new son, but photography also pays a lot of bills, so there has to be a balance.
While Destination Weddings are fun, they don’t typically pay as much as they should. Sure you’re getting to travel somewhere, usually fun and beautiful, but if you think about it, it’s also requiring you to be away from your family and local surroundings for several days. Assuming the couple pays for your flight, hotel and car, you still have to manage food for all those days as well as parking at the airport, etc, etc. Doing a wedding/gig shouldn’t cost the photographer money. And if you’re gone for a Thursday-Sunday, those are all days you’re not able to book any other gigs either. So do you charge them 4 full days? Tough call.
This was Canada last year. As much as I make fun of Canada, I had a pretty good time. This was one of my favorite engagement photos of the year, especially because seconds after taking this, the owner of the property came up and asked why I had two kids in his field of barley. “Why would you want pictures of people kissing in a field of barley?????” and he sped off.
Sunday, 23 February 2020: our temperature this morning is -4C (windchill -8C). Sunrise is at 7:33 am, and sunset is at 6:06 pm. Light snow is supposed to arrive this afternoon.
Another break from posting South Texas photos taken in March 2019. This morning, I have posted 8 photos taken yesterday, 22 February 2020, when I joined a group of friends and some new people for the annual Snowy Owl Prowl. This, plus a Pre-Owl Prowl in January, is led by Terry Korolyk each year. We travel the roads east of Calgary, hoping to see Snowy Owls and any other birds and wildlife. I usually come home with a few odds and ends of photos, taken either through the driver's windscreen (which rarely works) or while we are driving by. The result is a handful of "rescued", poor quality shots, taken mainly just for the record.
The lack of even half decent shots takes nothing away from a full day out in the countryside, on a sunny day, and in good company. We could have done without the cold wind, though.
The day proved successful as far as Snowy Owls were concerned. Four extremely distant owls were seen by sharp-eyed birders. I know I would never have seen these myself and we all marvelled at the birders who spotted the owls for the rest of us.
Other birds that were seen during the day included a Prairie Falcon, a small group of Ring-necked Pheasants feeding in a field, and an unexpected Rusty Blackbird. I was travelling in the leader's car, which is always at the front, and we knew not to get out of the car when the Blackbird was seen. We didn't want to cause it to fly off before everyone else had seen it. After sitting for a while, trying in vain to get photos through the windshield, we realized that everyone from the other cars were standing in the road, taking photos. Too late for us, as the bird flew away. This tends to be what happens when travelling in a group, of course - some people get photos, others don't. My photos of the Prairie Falcon through the windshield did not come out, either. Apparently, someone in one of the cars behind us wanted to get closer to get better photos. The car pulled too far in front of us instead of staying level with us, too close to the bird, and away it flew. Hopefully, everyone got the chance to see it first, as it is always a nice sighting.
As always, my camera lens turned to anything else of interest or beauty. Though my photos were taken at the very last minute as we were driving by, I just managed to get a few rapid shots of an old barn or two, which always makes my day.
Many thanks, Terry, for organizing another successful Snowy Owl Prowl, and the ride was greatly appreciated!
