Spring Time!

This is the same female from the pair of bluebirds in the previous post.  They both fly around a bird house next to my parents home. 
I really love pictures of birds in flight.  I think it shows them in their element, and when they are the most beautiful.  The little birds are pretty tough to catch and get focused on, so this is a skill I hope to someday perfect.

Here is a pair of ospreys I found flying in and out of their nest.  I am pretty sure they had a few little ones (or at least eggs) up there.  They are pretty cool birds.  Take a look at those talons!

I went out surveying with my dad last week near Wolf Creek, MT.  It is really a beautiful time of year to be out among the critters.

Fun Weekend!!!

This weekend I had some family come visit and they asked for a few pictures.  I really had a great time with the kids and parents.  They are a good looking bunch.

I was really pleased with how things came out. 

Here are a few of the results!

I thought this next shot had kind of a "Sound of Music" feel to it.  I really love the mountains of Montana!

This next one was fun for me because of the great brotherly interaction.  I told the older one to kiss the younger one and their fun fighting reaction was great.

I really like this one because it was a true daddy/daughter moment.  She was still in her jammies, playing with him on the chair.  He was pulling the smiles out of her, and I was lucky enough to have the camera right there and got her to look up.  Isn't she such a beautiful little girl?

Thanks guys for the fun visit. I hope you like the photos!
