Just another gorgeous morning in South Dakota on the Missouri River. Our portion of the longest river in the United States offers some of the best recreational opportunities in the nation. Thank you to SD Game Fish & Parks for providing ample access and conservation of this great resource we have.

I love going out and finding wildlife in places I haven't tried before. I put my kayak in at a spot I've never been to before and happened to find a few shots that are possibly some of my favorites I have ever taken. It's not too often I find eclipse phase drake wood ducks and to then top it off with the turtles sunning on a absolutely gorgeous morning was a highlight of this summer so far.

The morning started out shaky almost flipping over my kayak as a got into it which almost ruined the day before it even really began. However nothing risked means nothing gained.

Amy Tan in her book, The Backyard Bird Chronicles, describes so called backyard birds little miracles. Well when you live in a place where your backyard has all kinds of birds, especially those like this Great Blue Heron, can you really call them "little".

What do you think was going through this owls mind at this moment?
The burrowing owl will always be such a cool animal that is the only owl species to live underground. They also do not dig them selves a home but rather take over an existing network of holes from other animals.

I find the "subjects" of my photography to be a hard thing to narrow down. I love too many things about it. I love aviation, wildlife, motorcycles, cars, and pets. This has often led me to never really be able to niche into a section of photography. So ultimately I will continue to just take the camera with me and capture those things that I find interesting to capture and hopefully be able to do this for many years to come. When I'm too old to go and do anymore, I hope I can look back at the portfolio of photos and reminisce of the memories and the moments of a life well lived.

Gotta love finding the burrowing owls out and about.
