Some of the lightning storm that blew through from the big storm that hit St. Louis hard. We were lucky that we didn't get hit here in Troy. The clouds were rotating but nothing touched down.

Death and Decay
Finally made it down to the old Armour Meat Packing Plant in what used to be National City. There were 4 vultures circling over head. Who knows what was dead inside. I'd love to explore the place but not on my own.

Northern Harrier
Not a usual bird for me to see but I was able to snag this photo as he flew by at high speed.

Snow Dial
10 inches of snow last night from a storm that blew through. I think this is the most I've seen hit the ground in this area at one time since we have moved here. Love snow but hate shoveling the driveway.

Bald Eagle
This beautiful female bald eagle was at the Confluence Tower in Hartford today, courtesy of the World Bird Sanctuary. I was within 5 feet of her when I took this. She was magnificent!

And 2010 comes to an end....
2010 came to a stormy end here in the St. Louis region. But once the storm passed the sun broke through the clouds and tomorrow it will be a new year.

The Crow B&W
It was suggested to me to crop the original version of the photo I took of this crow on the grave marker so I did. I think it looks better in black and white than in color after being cropped.

The Crow
One time I was driving by this cemetery and a red tail hawk was on this grave but I didn't have my camera. So every time I go by I look to see if I can capture that moment again. Yesterday this crow was sitting on it and I did have my camera. It may not be a hawk but I sill like how it looks.

Painted Barn Roof
I've driven by this barn many times in the last few years and always wanted to stop and take a photo. Finally did it!

Red Tail Hawk
Another Red Tail Hawk shot. I love driving around the back roads looking for them. This guy was kind enough to sit still for a few photos.

Into the fog
Woke up to a foggy morning on Saturday and I decided to go out to see what photo ops there were. As I was driving along old Lebanon road I saw this trail into the trees. The fog gave it an ethereal quality that really worked in black and white.
Highland High School Madrigal Choir
This weekend was Victorian Holiday in Lebanon. This photo is of the Highland High School Madrigal Choir. They were very very good and got the crowd into the holiday spirit.

Red Winged Blackbirds
Out for a drive yesterday and saw this amazing flock of black winged redbirds in a field. The way they swarm about in one big mass is a wonder to watch.

Sunrise and trees
This was the sky on the way to work this morning. When I went to walk out of the house I could tell I needed to bring the camera with me. Good thing I did.

I see you
Playing around with my "Nifty Fifty" tonight. Cookie doesn't cooperate with the camera much but I was able to get this one to come out.

Witch's Night Out
Sunday evening was Witch's night out in Lebanon. The streets were full of witches, a few warlocks and other assorted characters. It was a lot of fun and the weather was great. Can't wait for next year.

Pumpkin Head
Taken at the St. Louis zoo today. They have the place decorated for Halloween. We were there with some friends and had a lot of fun.
