Places for photos

There are always places to photograph that are near your home no matter where you live. It is fun to go find them.

These are photos taken around my home.

These are near my home at another home.

These are about a mile from my home.

These last two are at a barn on the north end of Mapleton about two miles away.

Lunch Time wildlife

I spotted a fox and ran for my camera. Then I got back to the window and saw it for just a half second and it was gone. Later I happened to look out and saw two of them in the next field over. So this time I had my camera near me and I went over and took a lot of pictures of them. It was a lot of fun.

The wildlife is great!!

Today while at work one of the employees on the 6th floor called ma and said"Do you have your camera? I said I did and he told me there were two bucks fighting in the filed above the trees and that I might be able to see them from the 6th floor better than from my floor the 5th. Well I went to the window and this is what I could see with my 300 mm lens.

So I started taking pictures from where I was so that I would be able to get at least something before I went upstairs. I ended up staying on my floor since they kept moving around enough that I could get a good glimpse of them between the trees every once in a while. The rest of the images are what I got with a crop on each image to bring them closer.

I began to wonder if he knew that I was photographing them since he seemed to end the battle and then look toward my viewpoint and stand there in perfect form as though announcing that he was the winner.

My lunch hour joy.

What fun the last two days have been ass I have got to watch and then photograph the wildlife from the buildings 5th floor and the parking lot. Yesterday I went out and photographed the ducks and geese and missed an Eagle go after something above my head and a fox catch a goose on the other end of the field. (That actually happened while I was going down the five flights of stairs to go outside to photograph. Some of my fellow workers still at lunch saw the fox and the eagle. I was wondering though why all of the geese took off since when I walk over there they just walk away from me but this time they all flew up just honking their silly heads off as the circled and flew away right over the top of where I was at. It was pretty fun.Still wish I had seen the eagle though.




Then today I watched as three bucks were following the same doe around the woods. I photographed these from the lunchroom on the 5th floor and had a much better view than if I had tried to go outside. No eagles or foxes today however.
