Been a long time since I posted anything here. I always mean to but get busy with other things and forget. I’m active on Facebook and Instagram though. Not sure if anyone is reading this but I will try harder.

Green
Love the pattern of this growth in the water at the Watershed Nature Center in Edwardsville.
Sunset
A couple of sunset photos from the 8th of April.
Daffodil
Daffodil in Black and White.
Leaf in B&W
We got some snow overnight so Monday morning I got out to do some shooting. Winter is truly here in the St. Louis region with the temps only in the single digits. I saw this leaf lying in the pristine snow and had to take a photo. Decided I wanted to convert it to black and white.
Burning bushes and blue skies
Burning bushes and blue skies.
Shedding velvet
This large buck at Cahokia Mounds was busy rubbing his antlers to shed the velvet.
Surprise!
While I was at the Watershed Nature Center this morning I was watching some birds at a feeder. As I turned around this is what I saw. Thankfully the standoff ended peacefully.
Barn Owl
This was the best of both worlds for me. While I’ve been primarily a nature/wildlife shooter my photography lately has been focused on urban decay. So while we were exploring an abandoned power plant in East St. Louis two barn owls were inside and started flying around. It was dark and hard to focus but I was able to snap a few shots of these magnificent raptors in flight inside the building. Next time I’ll be prepared.
Footprints
Footprints in the sand along the Mississippi River.
