The Weekend Chaos

The chaotic and exhausting weekend was finally over...


Sunday, 2-17-13

The insanity I was referring to last night was the fact that I drove 11 hours and 594 miles yesterday covering the entire Door County Peninsula in Wisconsin trying to find a good place to photograph.  I initially planned to stay there for the weekend to capture the “winter wonderland”.  Well, I did not take a single picture…  Yeah, 0!!!

I can tell you that “global warming” has been a BIG problem for me for the past 3 winters!!



Monday, 2-18-13

It was another crazy day yesterday driving 298 miles and spending 5 hours in Iowa photographing… the Seagulls!

The goal was to photograph eagles catching fish out of Mississippi River.  Every winter, bald eagles would stop at the Mississippi river to eat fish, as the rest of the world is FROZEN!  Once again, due to “global warming”, the world was NOT frozen, so the eagles were not concentrated in the river area eating fish.  Over the 5-hour period I was there yesterday, I saw 1 bald eagle – yes, ONE!

When there is no eagle, seagulls are flying around all over the river to eat fish.  The truth is – seagulls are a lot more difficult to photograph because they are much smaller AND they move a lot faster than eagles and pelicans….  So, here they are!

Picture 1 =  My Dinner

Picture 2 = The Inescapable (find the run-away fish!!)
