Strange Days

Working on the Alzheimers unit of a local retirement home is an interesting experience.

An interesting experience made more interesting when the full moon is on it's way. Some people don't believe that the moon can have an effect on people and their behaviors; I'm a firm believer now that it's not all myth.

Early season

Got out for a night fishing session with Meg earlier this month.

Extremely low water levels at the spot; hoping for some rain soon before opening weekend on May 15th.

Within city limits

I often head out into the rural areas outside of town in search of good nature and wildlife opportunities. Lately it seems I don't even have to leave my own back yard.
While outside BBQing a few weeks back I couldn't believe my luck when I noticed a bald eagle circling above my house while being chased by angry seagulls. I'm assuming the gulls are nesting nearby and the eagle has found it to be a chance for a quick meal.
I really wouldn't mind a 400mm f/2.8 for shots like this; problem is I don't have $9,000 to spend on fast glass. My 270 was barely able to capture this sequence from a distance of approx 200' up.
