Hello there its been a while

So its been like two months since my last post and a lot has happened. the weather has turned and its cold all the damn time but that hasn't stopped me from running the shutter as you will see later in this post. I have had some really good luck getting ictures but as I just said its gotten cold so when I go out I have been staying in my car as much as I can, but if I need to get out to get that shot I do. I;ve been walking in mud, snow and ice for the last month depending on where I've been. I had to make a quick trip down to my daughters place, she had her baby and he is a handsome little guy. I hadn't planed on going down at the time and it was a last second thought that I tossed some of my camera gear in the car. I didn't how ever bring a lens that would be suitable to photograph JJ my newest grandson. I made due with my ell phone and I did take a few with my 100-400mm lens but I wasn't real happy with them. So I'm going to toss in a few pics that I took on that trip and one or two from my last trip to Turnbull. I have a lot to post about so I'm hoping to do another post tomorrow while they work on my car (Oil change time).
Bighorn sheep! Finaly got a Ram they weren't full curl Rams but hey I'll take it. I was close enough to get good photos and thats a plus.
Porcupine was on my bucket list! I mean I see them all the damn time but they are on the road dead. This guy was the only thing I saw to take pictures of on my last trip to Turnbull. I guess if its not going to be a door buster trip you might as well get one checked off the list. In fact this year I have taken a few off my list and I plan on doing a post on that soon. I have maybe six or seven post that I'd like to get done. This year is coming to a close (at work my year ends at the end of this month) and I hope to have a little more free time to get caught up on my blog and my photos. I just downloaded 6500 photos and I'm sure I need to do some posting with a few of those. Plus just today I took a couple hundred photos of Bald Eagles some are pretty cool too! So I hope you come back and have a look around as I'm going to be posting some pretty awesome shots.

Every so often I am going to post some pictures that arent "just" from the latest trip. but are just random pictures that I happen to like. I may or may not have a comment about a photo. The idea is to just have some photos that you will like. It would be great if you would share this page with friends and family. I will be selling prints of my photos soon so be looking for that post coming up shortly. Please leave me a comment if you like these. i can't change things up if i don't know its needed. Thanks foe stopping by.

Sorry to jump a blog post ahead on you, but things happen and sometimes its for the better. This is one of those times. I have been planning on getting a new camera for a while now and had been saving up to do just that. Last week though the camera gods smiled on me and I not only was able to get the camera I wanted, I was able to get the lens and adapters and even some extra batteries. Now all this without dipping into my savings so thats a bonus. So now that I got all that I needed to go test it out, so where did I go? Why I went to Turnbull National wildlife resurve naturely. The camera I got is the Canon R7, its a mirrorless crop sensor. So that means that all my EF lenses wouldn't work with the camera inless I put an adapter on the lens. Now when I am spending that kind of money I do my resurch so I new what I needed and how I would configure the camera for my type of photography. The camera came in Tuesday so I spent a good part of my evening setting it up the way I...

I dub thee "Shaggy"

Day one in Yellowstone wasn't a big bear day. (Not that day two was either) I seen one Black Bear cub and couldn't get a good photo of it as I was stopped on the road with no where to pull over. I snapped a quick shot of it in the shade as it was walking away from me. Not worth posting the photo of so I wont. (see how I am) Day two I seen two count them TWO Black Bears. One was petty far away but the photos turned out okay-iish so I will post one for the first photo of this blog. see if you can find it. The second one was much, much closer and I was able to get some really good shots of it eating Ants, Termites and or Grubs. (I wasn't that close to see what it was eating) It tore into a log at one point and was digging in the ground as well as walking along logs and eating something. Now the Title of this post is me naming something "Shaggy" It was this Bear. One look at it and you'll know why I named it that. I don't know if its a male or female, its y...
