Here's a slightly wider view taken shortly after the previous post. The ice was close to shore and all to the left, probably blown there overnight. Fortunately the wind died down for the morning reflections.

We had our first snow overnight into the early daylight hours today. It didn’t amount to much, maybe 1-2” and that’s typical for early December. This scene was photographed looking across the old channel at the Chichaqua Bottoms Greenbelt on NE 126th Avenue in Polk County, Iowa. It was about 8:30am, the snow had just stopped and the sky was staring to clear in the west to create a nice colorful backdrop.
Developed with Darktable 4.8.0.
This was my first camera. My parents gave it to me as a child 46 years ago. With it I photographed my entire family for years. How many beautiful memories!
PS: And it still works of course!

My first sunflower is now withering, and there are many youth to glow in her stead. I have such affection for aging flowers, and I honestly think they are as beautiful as they age, as when they were in their prime.

We have red kites flying over our house most days, and this afternoon I decided to have a go at taking an image of one. I have aimed my camera at them before, but not had a recognisable result. Today I used continuous auto focusing and tracking using the hi speed facility, and after some post processing managed to capture one. I am now encouraged to try again.
I went out early in the morning, looking for large wildlife to photograph. In June, grizzly bear is the primary target, but I'll gladly settle for moose, elk or wolf.
It was another of those frustrating days, where you see fresh bear scat everywhere but no bears. A solitary elk crossing the road, too far in the distance for photos and a moose that was just teasing me but I knew I would have to be lucky to get a photo.
I had stopped a couple hundred meters from the moose and was down in the ditch, hoping that he would keep moving in my direction. Alas, he trotted off into the trees and although I took some photos, none was worth keeping. I just sat there thinking what a frustrating morning it had been.
Then I looked over and saw this young red squirrel on the ground, enjoying a snack. I am sure that out here, in the middle of nowhere, this squirrel had never seen a human before. I did this nonchalant thing that works with some animals, where you look the other way but leisurely creep towards them. Surprisingly, she didn't run away, even as I laid in the grass just a couple of meters away and slowly swung the camera her way.
We spent a few minutes together, so the morning wasn't wasted after all. I wonder what story the squirrel told when she went back to the trees.

The first time, ever i saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless skies
My love
To the dark, and the endless skies
And the first time, ever i kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there, at my command
My love
That was there, at my command
My love
