Big Dam Bridge

I took some night shots at this bridge several months ago but didn't like the results. I decided to give it another try with some longer exposures. I like these a lot better. What do you think?

Two Rivers Park

As mentioned in an earlier blog, I made another trip (actually 2) out to Two Rivers park. Two Rivers park is located in West Little Rock off of highway 10. It has hiking and biking trails and some nature trails. The trail I took the following pictures from is 3 miles long. It is paved the whole way and is even wheelchair accessible. It goes out to a peninsula that you can see when you travel south on the I-430 bridge into Little Rock.When my brother was with me we saw easily over 100 deer. Not so many on a return trip with Melissa.

Feathered Friends

I took a walk recently around lake Willastein in Maumelle to see what I could see. Well......

Killdeer: This is a very unique bird. It builds its nest on the ground. If anyone or anything ventures too close it will pretend that it has a broken wing and lead trouble away. When it's far enough away it flys off. Cool huh? If you look closely you can see eggs below her.

This is her future family.

Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher...I wonder how it got its name. Hmm

Canadian Geese: There was a pretty strong wind blowing in off of the lake. The geese would face into the wind a spread their wings.

4th of July

I hope everyone had a great Independence Day. Melissa and I took in a little of Maumelle's 4th fest celebration. Then we went and secured our spot for the fireworks. I took the pictures below at Maumelle's annual firework show.
