Elgin's Photography

I once knew a man who carried these small round wooden discs in one of the pockets of his overalls, and printed on the discs were the words “A-Round-To-It”, and every time someone he knew would say “if I ever get around to it I’ll do such and such etc”. At this point he would reach into his pocket and pull out one of those little discs and hand it to whom every he was speaking to and tell them, here is your “A-Round-to-It” now you don’t have to put it off any longer!

Anyway, I had an opportunity to do a ride-along with a Wildlife & Fisheries Agent last weekend, and although it was a pretty cool day, it was well worth the trip. As we were about to enter the Mississippi River from Old River, we spotted this Bald Eagle in the top of a very tall tree. Even from a distance I could tell he was very large. Unfortunately, we were in a moving boat which does not work well with a 300mm telephoto lens. Regardless, I took a couple of photos of the eagle anyway. While it’s not the best shot it was still exciting for me. The eagle flew off before I could get any other shots. I plan on returning to that area again soon and hope the eagle is still in the area when I do. Have a great day!

Just enjoying the quietness, and my first cup of coffee. Yea, I know, who cares right. Have new photos to post, hopefully I’ll get around to posting one or two today. I have taken steps to get into some flight photography, looking forward to that in the near future. I’ll be including those photos and videos on my blog. Ok, that’s all for now, see ya!
