Birds and Marsh Marigolds

Just a couple of new images to share. This morning I did my usual trip to the marsh. The marsh marigolds were at peak - on a weekend which is nice. Then after lunch, I climbed into my blind on the back deck. Nice that I have not had to travel far today for photos.

I have been wanting to photograph the visitors to my bird feeders. A bashful indigo bunting feeding would not show itself for the camera, hiding in the vegetation. Then, a male goldfinch and later a male Rose Breasted Grosbeak. I am very close, and although I am in a blind, the birds seem to sense my presence.

Lake and Sky

I have been somewhat lax in posting new images. Not that I have not been shooting a lot of images. If anyone actually visits this blog I am always happy to get feedback. Well, here is one that I caught several weeks ago. This was taken over Lake Michigan from the Sleeping Bear Dunes. This was part of a line of storms that rolled in off the lake. I got a little of the rain, but not the lightning or hail which came later. The little bit of the lake is hopefully enough to anchor the image and to give it context.
