Cardinal Beats the Snow

2/04/2013 Cardinal Beats the Snow

Cardinal Beats the Snow:  Today, I had to be inside all day.  This little Cardinal was looking for food next to the snow line formed by where the roof blocked the sun; just outside the window.  He almost acted like it was spring instead of winter.

I’m All Ears!

I’m All Ears!  Meet Elwood, an 5 month old , Alaskan Husky.  He’s all ears, and paws, and lanky legs.  He’ll be a big dog.  Elwood is one half of a pair; Jake and Elwood; both Alaskan Huskies. Although not visible in this image, Elwood has one blue eye and one brown eye.

Red-tailed Hawk

2/01/2013 Redtailed Hawk

Red-tailed Hawk  Although the snow has melted, it’s still February 1st and a bit chilly this morning.  The dogs go out the door in a rush as always barking just to see if anyone barks back.  Out of the corner of my eye, birched on a nearby tree, there he is; a Red-tailed Hawk.   Run back up stairs, quick change the lens, and back to capture an image of this majestic bird; quick work for the 70-200mm.  Then, in a flash, he was gone to go hunting.  Glad I am not a field mouse.
