This guy looked pretty rough from a distance and when I got up close I can see why. Look at that poor beak. I can't imagine it is easy to catch food.
Everyone's laughing but me...an amateur photographer just trying to improve my skills and share the world around me.

Raven Wolf
Went down to the Soulard Farmer's Market this morning with the family. This is Mr. C. Felton "Raven Wolf" Jennings II. Every time I go down there he is out front playing his sax, a flute or the drums. He's a great guy and I love taking photos of him.

A bee in the tree
Playing around with the 70-200L lens today. I love how clear and sharp my photos come out with it. Wish I could afford a couple more L series, and a better camera body.
Hi there
The newest addition to the petting zoo at the park here in Troy. He's a friendly pot bellied pig. Wish I could take him home.

Waiting for the children
I keep forgetting tp post my photos on the blog here. This one is in Highland. A bit of post processing Lightroom to give it a vintage feel.

Big Balls
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.
