The Day Trip To The Celery Bog
I spent a small amount of time in the morning at the Celery Bog on Friday. I saw a lot while I was out there, but I was just not making the pictures that I wanted to. Sometimes that is how it goes. I saw a lot, but it was just not in a place that made for a good photo. My favorite photo of the morning was this photo of the ducklings trying to get warm. This was the second time in the morning that I saw ducklings by themselves with no protection. It was the first time though that the light was right to make a photo.
Right From The Start At Night
As I walked into the wood Friday night I was greeted by this woodpecker that didn’t mind how close that I was to it. It always feels good to make a good picture right off of the bat. Of course for the rest of the trip I was not making too many fantastic pictures. Then I ran into the yellow billed cuckoo that you see below. It was basically my last picture of the night, and a great stroke of luck to find.
The Week In Photos
Last week I made a lot of photos, but just not the usual ones for me. I had no paying sports gigs for the first time in a while. At times I wonder if sports photography is worth it. I love to make sports photos, but it is so hard to find steady work doing it. This week I filled the gaps with some wildlife photos and plenty of photos of the kids. You can find my favorite photos from last week here on my Exposure page.
I’m loving your Celery Bog, Dave! 🙂
