Illinois



For the past two weeks I have been down here is lovely Lawrenceville Illinois. Now that we are doing low-flow sampling down here I had some extra time to get some dragonfly photos. While looking up what dragonflies I had, I read that the Green Darner can reach speeds of 55 mph. I liked the photo of the Eastern Pondhawk, because it looked like he was smiling at me.

Georgia


Well I have been pretty busy with work, but I've managed to find some time to shoot some photos. While I was down in Georgia working I made a little road trip up to Amicalola Falls state park. It is a very cool state park and is also the southern terminus of the 2160 mile Appalachian Trial. I was very tempted to start my little walk! The first photo is of the fall itself, which is 729 foot tall. The other photo was taken on down the river. Canon XT, canon 17-40mm lens, SanDisk digital film.

Bald Eagles


There were so many Bald Eagles up in Dutch Harbor, I could not believe how many there were. There were more eagles then we have robins here in OH. I spent a lot of time out trying to get some nice flight shots, which was not easy. The shots I got were either blurry or out of focus, but with all the eagles I had a lot of chances to get some keepers.
