I went looking for something to photograph with my telephoto lens this morning and found these birds. The photos above are crops of the images. I like the background trees in the full image of the flicker, below.
Captured while snow shoeing on Lower Lake Ranch at Elk Falls during the storm. As I worked my way up the creek the snow fell harder and the camera only left the bag to make quick image here and there.
picnic, anyone?
Back at home, my dog pauses at the top of the stairs as if unsure he needs a trip down.
It was a bright sunrise after an April snow, but only for an hour or so. By late morning it was snowing and blowing again. Spring snows are much wetter than our winter ones.
