Crane Textures

“You’d be surprised how little I knew even up to yesterday.”
― Jack Kerouac

I thought I’d be sharing photos from yesterday’s 4th of July festivities in Kissimmee, but today had everything in store for me BUT editing photos. So in the meantime, I’ll share this recent photo of a Florida Sandhill crane. I really like the variety of textures spanning its head and neck. Hopefully you will like it, too.

Light Feathers

I’m continuing today’s earlier pondering of those large and wonderful Florida Sandhill cranes. I would urge you to click on the photo to view it at a larger size – it really does look better. I like the way the slow shutter speed added flow, texture and motion to their bodies and wings. The B&W conversion came about because I wanted them to really stand out from their surroundings and exploit the contrast of light and dark.

Tomorrow, I’ll be starting a week of daily posts dedicated to my favorite four-legged friends. If you’re a fan of cats, you’ll want to come back.

Cemetery of Fish and Game?

Several deer visit the Fish family plot

Mount Olivet Cemetery, in Salt Lake City, Utah is a pretty interesting place. The second largest public burial ground in the city, the tombstones span the years back to 1877. It’s an 88 acre spread of over 90 varieties of trees imported from other areas. Deer love to eat the flowers that adorn the grave sites and squirrels have an awesome playground in the vast canopy of trees. And birds. Lots of birds.

Over 30,000 people have been laid to rest here, representing members of many churches and races. Because of its beauty, the cemetery is popular as a park and it’s typical to find people walking, jogging, sitting, reading, enjoying a sunny day, or wandering around with a camera.
