A Salute to my Grandfather

In such a sad moment, there are beautiful images. These photos maybe aren't exactly perfect, but I like them.

Keiser Farm Auction



I know some of the individuals in these photos. Hopefully the ones that I don't know won't mind that I'm sharing their image with you. I think that auctions in general are great people watching events. Buyers are out to find a deal and socialize with neighbors. They truly are things to experience.

Our Nation's Mascot




I've been trying for several years to capture a stellar image of the bald eagle. Our area seems to be in their path for migration. Yesterday I snagged a few images that I like, though I'm far from throwing in the towel. Even if I don't have success every time I raise the camera to my eye, they are a lot of fun to watch.

I will create an album with animal shots in it here. You will also find additional eagle images in that location

Mader Family Christmas



I didn't have as many images turn out as I'd hoped. I didn't want to use a flash, I hoped to not interrupt anyone. It was dark in the home, and this family moves FAST. Still, I was able to capture a few images that I like with existing light. There are more images in the people album of my photobucket. Click here.
