I had an aisle seat on the flight from Denver to Portland. I was so hoping we'd fly over Mt. Hood and we did. I was also lucky to have an airplane window that was nice and clear. Scenes like this make me really miss my home state. You don't see this in Illinois.

Fair St. Louis
This little boy was so fascinated by the Fair st. Louis air show that I had to get his photo. I think I did a good job capturing the moment.

Got ya!
It was Marine week in St. Louis and they put on a demonstration Saturday in front of the Arch. Just one of many shots that I took of the men in action.
Lightining
A hell of a lightning storm rolled through the St. Louis region last night. This is one of the magnificent bolts that I was lucky enough to catch last night. According to the weather forecast I may get a chance to try again tonight.

Wise Old Owl
Finally made it out to the World Bird Sanctuary. What a fantastic place. Lots of beautiful birds and you can get up close for photos. This is just one of many that I took and can be found at my Flickr site, http://www.flickr.com/matneym

Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery
Such a large cemetery, so many graves, may the men and women who lay here rest in peace.

Baby Bunny
I was looking out the window last night watching the birds eat from the feeder when I saw this little guy hiding in the mums. I grabbed the camera and went outside as quick as possible hoping he would still be there. He was and I was able to get this photo before he took off. He was quite little but looked in good health.

This little guy was hiding in the mums by the bird feeder. I just happened to look down and see him. Love the little white spot on his head.

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.
