Delaware State Park
Over the last couple of days, I visited Delaware State Park a couple of times. It turned out to be a great place for wildlife viewing. Not only did I get some pics of the Osprey, I also spotted a Bald Eagle along with a variety of other birds and animals. Definately a place to go back to. Here’s a few of my pics….the first two are of an Osprey as he was fishing. I couldn’t decide which I liked better so I posted both of them. The second is a Green Heron and the last is the sunset as my wife and I were leaving. Click for a larger view
A Trip to the Wilds….
Yesterday, I took my niece and mom to the Wilds. I’ll start with a few cute pics of my niece, Allison.
Here’s a few of the animals…
…and now, the real excitement. As the tour was coming to an end, we came accross these deer fighting. They were serious, not even letting a pond stop the battle. They hit the water and just kept at it. As we pulled away, they were still at it so I can’t declare a winner. Click on any image for a larger version!
How about some cats?
Cats have got to be one of the most difficult animals to photograph well. They do their own thing and don’t really co-operate well with the photographer. Still, I’ve managed to capture a few nice photos. These two cats belong to my Dad, Missy and Sammy. Both were rescued from Cat Welfare in Columbus OH and now live a very cush life
Checking back in with a few photos….
I’m back I hope you are having a great summer! It’s been a while since I’ve shared some pics so I wanted to post up a few. I’ll start with a lovely photo of my wife…..This was an improptu pic while out on an anniversary motorcycle ride. We had stopped at Indian Run Falls in Dublin Ohio for a short walk.
The next two photos are both ruins of sorts. The first is an old abandon building I happened to run accross….I’m not sure what it was used for. The second is whats left of an old pay phone. I liked the way the early morning sun was casting a shadow and but mostly I wanted to capture the disappearance of an icon. Remember when payphones used to be everywhere? They are quickly being taken over by the cell phone industry. I guess in 10 years, we’ll be trying to explain to our kids what a pay phone was
The last two are of a bird that seemed to be posing for me while on a trip to the zoo and some flowers I found at Highbanks Metro Park.
I’m on vacation this coming week and getting ready to hit the Muskingum county fair later today. Over the next few days, I should have some great photo ops I’ll post up here.
