Randomness Adventures

These are some of my favorite random shots taken while on our adventures during some different road trips.

From a Ghost Town

Pony, MT

I think this is an awesome entrance to someone's ranch

I think the mustache is made from coyote tails. 

I like the lighting exposure of this photo

An old homestead

Another old homestead

An old school house built in 1901

Toston Bridge over the Missouri River

I like how the tree created a frame for this photo

A huge eagles nest

Overlooking natural beauty

I love these old trees

Lesson of the week - Practicing taking photos while on belly, knees or back. 

I'm on my belly for this one 

I like the different dimensions and the cat tails in the middle

I'm on my knees for this one

Just a great shot of the mountains and sky here in Bozeman

**This week's practice tip is to take lots of photos of different subjects while on your knees, belly and back.  It helps you learn to see things more creatively and at a different angle, which adds much more dimension and elements to your photos. 

Birds & Beauty

One of my favorite outdoor activities is going on hikes.  Most of my photographs are taken while on hikes.  I enjoy taking photos of nature's natural beauty and of wildlife.  In essence, I love to capture the beauty in all of Gods creations.  

Here are some pictures I took while on a nature hike through Bozeman, Montana on March 21st.

Red-Winged Black Bird

I think these birds are just gorgeous!

Many, many Ducks were flying in for landings in this pond

I never got a great shot of them flying though.  Must need more practice!

You can see part of town in background - So pretty!

I love the vibrant red of their wings. 

Gorgeous Mallard

I look forward to the snow melting and the temperatures to warm up so we can go on many more hikes into the back country.  There are a couple places I have picked out that I am really excited to check out and photogragh.  Now if the weather would just cooperate with my plans!
