Icy Weather and Deer

Some really crappy weather came through last night and this morning… Rain and freezing rain, even some thunder and lightning. So, needless to say, LTBB closed today, along with just about every school north of Houghton Lake.

While sitting here waiting far the call about work closing, I had the outside flood lights on and along came some Deer to feed at the bottom of the bird feeders.

Finally A Good Snow

Today took a nice walk around the house and down a trail that leads back into the woods. It was -15° this morning, but had warmed up to about -5° by walk time, with bright sunny deep blue skies.

Odds 'n Ends

Just a couple left-overs from the other day around Munising.





Happy New Year - 2012

Happy New Year Everyone!

Yesterday headed up to the UP around Munising, MI. Needed a UP outing big time. Was nice to see a good amount of snow, though even up there the snow pack is way down from normal.

These are but a few of the photos I took with my new Pentax K5. A few shots I had to throw right out due to being way over exposed. I’m still learning the new camera.

Christmas 'n Stuff

Was a great Christmas!
Great company, Great gifts, Great food, and for Christmas day, Great weather (snow).

First off, I got the camera I’ve been wanting to a few years now, the Pentax K5.
Along with the camera, in the past few weeks I’ve bought a couple new lenses, a Sigma 10-20mm and a Pentax 55-300mm.
Also got a great little Mr. Beer to start/try to brew some of my own beer again.
To help with my photo editing, I got a new Bamboo drawing tablet.
And… drum roll please… Rock’em Sock’em Robots! Yes, the original.

The weather here has been very odd, way below average. In fact, it’s the worst, as far as cold temps and snow, on record. We did have a couple inches of snow day before Christmas here at the house, but it’s gone now, temps got up to 45? today.

Today, day after Christmas, headed out for a little two-tracking, and to let the dogs run a bit. We found some snow in the hills, a few inches, but by this time of year the trails should be groomed for snowmachines and too deep for cars and 4wd’s. Either way, was nice to get out and see some snow in the woods and trails.

American Gold Finch

Just a couple photos of some American Gold Finches. They didn’t turn out that well due to shooting through the window.


And a photo from 2009 of Eli wearing his pack.
