Family Fun

We had a wonderful weekend in Kansas City with Dan's family, enjoying visiting with his Aunt Charlotte who had came up from Madison, Florida.

Owl Prowl

 

Rowe had an Owl Prowl on Saturday night while we were camping at Fort Kearney and since we were only a few miles away decided to go and check it out. There were two volunteers from the Raptor Recovery center doing a presentation and these images are of their education birds. They have been physically injured or in case of one of them mentally disabled and not able to be returned to the wild.  By Federal Law they either need to be used as "ed" birds or be put down.  There were about 40 people present with several children, the volunteers did a great job at the end explaining to the kids how important school was if they were interested in working with the raptors.  We elected not to go on the actual walk since it got so late and there was no light for photographing. 

Remnants of Summer

There are fewer and fewer remnants of summer as the cooler temperatures and changing leaves are upon us but a few of the flowers are still hanging on and seed pods opening to start the circle of life again.

"Miss Tess"

Little Miss Tess enjoying the weekend out camping.  I think she really needed the break from all the coming and going of the last few weeks.  She sure does like camping.

After the Rain

  I went out after the rain and captured a few macro images.

Some random images from our trip to the Teton's, hopefully I can get them all finished and put in an album before the end of the year!

Blue birds were everywhere, like we have sparrows here.
