Well, for weeks I have been trying to get up to Squaw Creek with little success. Finally I made up there this last Monday. I planned on arriving before sunrises. I looked on the internet to find out what time the sun would be showing itself in the morning and I set my alarm clock. I managed to wake up in plenty of time. I actually woke up before the alarm even went off. I’m not much for morning person, but when it comes to photographing. It doesn’t take much and I’m out the door. I looked at the weather the night before and I new a storm was going to be rolling in. I just hoped that it would arrive later rather then sooner. So with that in mind I was set to go. I drove the 100 miles to arrive just before sunrise.
When I stopped inside the sanctuary and looked up, I wasn’t at all impressed. There was plenty of birds to photograph. That wasn’t much of problem. The problem lied with the overcast sky. A little to much for me, and I was afraid the storm was moving little faster then anticipated. I sweated it out and looked for a few beautiful scenes to photograph. After all I drove a 100 miles and I was intent on taking a picture of something. I didn’t happen to see much of interest. It just wasn’t my day I guess. Of what little I did manage to capture, I thought these two were the best of what I got. With a little warmer morning I think the potential for some beautiful shots would have been there. These photographs look more impressive if enlarged. Fortunately, having to make these files small doesn’t do them justices.
