Say I to you all – HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS EVE AND DAY!
Dave wrote: Hi Jim, I was out north of Rom this morning. Found a small deer that had been hit by a car and died out in the field just off the road. There were 6 or 7 Bald Eagles on the carcass, in area trees and flying around the area. 4 adults and 2 or 3 immature birds. Took lots of pictures here are a few. Dave

Dave is one great photographer and very generous to share his work with us. I urge you to study Dave’s photos. When Dave takes photos of wildlife, he is forever capturing moments that will never be repeated. Take the examples these eagles gathering to feed. Study the ones on top of the branch (the second and third photo). Then look at photos four and five. You will never get a photo of the exact same birds with the exact same posture, with the exact same body and wing positions, in exactly the same backdrop. Dave took the opportunity to record something truly unique.
Nature photography never gets boring. Whether it be wildlife or landscape photography, there is always a new angle you can introduce to your photos. The weather is never exactly the same – clouds always make unique formations, and the way sun rays cast over the houses in front of you are always very special.
I try to be out-and-about at least 4 hours every day – hot, rain, snow, cold – what ever nature has brought that day. I go out to see it – and some times I even photograph it. Often, just the clouds in the sky – the sky is like a modern art gallery of abstracts that are changed out every moment – for, most often a formation only last a moment!
Someday, I may get good equipment and be serious about the excellence of the photograph on those hours outdoors – maybe even take a photography cruise for a couple days. I did take a week-long fall photo “dry land” trip to northern Michigan a number of years ago. The folks that ran it also offer tours, just like the folks I saw on the National Geography TV station. Two nights ago, I watched a Photo Cruise Ship tour Baffin Island. Here are three photos they showed on National Geography TV:
Icebergs off Baffin Island – If I get my drone hobby going – would that be fun or what?
But for now, I will show you a few iPhone photos that I snapped as I went outside my home in Florida – went outside just for the good of my soul:

As you swing thru life – look for those scenes in nature that will never be quite the same – unique to your eyes at that moment only – Study them, enjoy them, and maybe even photograph them.
