Rainy day

Mornin’ Well, the rain begins here. I woke to the pitter patter of rain on the roof and now I have to get ready for a rainy day on the river. Poncho,check, opti sleves (rain covers) for the camera, check. Now just bring on the Kayakers!!!! Most folks would write off photography in the rain but I’m not smart, and I like a challenge. So later this morning after a hearty breakfast I’m heading out to find something to photograph.
Tonight will be the big challenge for me, I’m heading up to the Skyway before the snow hits and wait for sunrise, Why leave early? Well it snows pretty hard up at the higher elevations and getting down is easier than getting up. There are a couple places at 5000+ feet I’d like to check out, Spirit ridge trail is an easy trail which should be great with snow, then back to Stratton meadows and the drive back down the forest road should be fun.
I hope everyones weekend is going well. The pic is of an Eastern Towhee, a new bird to the feeders here, sorry bout the quality it was very early in the morning and I had to up the ISO to 1600 to get the piceastern-towhee-1 and that causes the pic to be grainy.
Later…Ed

    What a cute bird! And to think he is in our yard. I think I would like to paint this little fella.

  4. Grainy is not so bad, especially in black and white and when printed. I love the little guy.

  5. Great shot…I’ve never seen one of those.
