City Park in St. Louis. Supposedly these things light up at night. Will have to go down and check them out sometime I guess.

Backyard Hawk
My wife sees this guy all the time but this is the first time I've been able to get a photo of him. He sat there for a few minutes and let me get a few photos, then he was off!

Time for breakfast
While I didn't see very many hawks out on my quest this morning I did spot this guy along side the road. I couldn't stop immediately but turned around, came back and he was still there. I was only able to get a couple of shots off but it made my day.

House Sparrow
Happy New Year everyone. It's a windy day here in the metro-east and the little birds are staying close to the bushes for protection.

Old Yellow
Spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Northern Wisconsin at my in-laws. I love going up there as there are so many photo opportunities. I drove by this place and had to come back with my camera. I can only imagine the stories that lay within it's walls.

Broken
Had a fantastic day with some of my fellow members of the Metro East Photography club down in St. Louis. We visited Powell Square, an old brewery then ended up at Union Power north of the MLK bridge. This shot is from the inside the old St. Louis Southwestern Railway Freight Depot.

Coyote
Coming home from a photo drive I spotted this coyote in a field near my home. He was quite wary and took off soon after taking this shot.

Witchy Woman
Taken at Witch's Night Out in Lebanon. This is the second year I have attended and it is a lot of fun. I did dress up a little bit this time and I felt more comfortable taking pictures that way. I was part of the crowd and not just an interloper like last time. Can't wait for next year.

I love this woman's outfit.

Mt. Hood
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
