Photography, Image Processing and the Outdoors.
Went out to take some pictures along a path in Maple Grove, MN and right before I got to the path there was this really cool vertical sheet of ice with tons of small holes and interesting formations. It is a wonder that it didn’t collapse just by a small breeze. Both the shots below are only a very small view of the ice, but the second one gives a good idea of how thin it was.
There are many little suns shining through!
In 2005 my brother and I visited Glacier National Park in Montana for a second time. We had a few adventures and learned some quality lessons about weather in the mountains during the second week of August. The full story will have to wait till my next post on Glacier!
We woke-up at the Glenn Lake campground and were treated to this:
There were a lot of Mallards resting around the open water on the frozen Thompson lake when I visited Thompson County Park in West Saint Paul. I had a lot of fun seeing how good – or poor – my camera focused on the moving birds.
I’m landing here:
That crow just took my snack:
Make way we’re coming on in:

This was all fun. Time to head on out:
After a while of crouching down in the snow and trying to take pictures of the mallards chilling by the open water on Thompson lake and getting sore legs, I stood up, turned around and snapped one picture of the cattails along the lake with the sunset hitting them dramatically. I really like the colors on this one, and I hope that it comes across on your computer monitor.
Shots of the mallards coming in tomorrows post.
Thompson County Park in Saint Paul is gorgeous at sunset. I spent 2 hours walking around there photographing the birds on the lake, and was treated to an excellent sunset to finish off the nice warm end to the day. Thompson has a paved trail around the lake, some walking trails in the woods, a bridge over the highway to Kaposia Park where you can play Disc Golf, and a big grand lodge that I’ll have to go back later and checkout.
