A small valley empties
into the Lake in this
small bay. 17mm
|
The same scene with the
8mm fish eye lens
|
The view in Infra Red
reveals a stark and almost
snowy looking landscape.
|
Looking back up the valley
toward the groves of tiny
aspen trees. Fish eye
|
Straight up right in the
middle of the aspen trees
8mm fish eye
|
A lone violet flower in the
small valley 8mm
|
Cloud reflections in the
water in the bay
|
Slab of Coconino sandstone
with 280 million year old
fossilized reptile tracks
|
Another very rare sighting:
the "Common Merganser"
with its brick red mane.
|
An Osprey circles overhead
searching for fish in the
choppy water
|
Banking Osprey with
good wing details
|
This shows a great view
of their white belly
|
Flying directly towards us
|
Nice side presentation
with good wing detail
|
Start of the action: On the
far side of the lake an Osprey
grabs a fish from the water
|
Flying directly over us,
the bird has the fish in its
claws facing into the wind
|
You can see the trout's
tail pretty clearly here
|
This is the best lit shot
I got of the fish, under
the Osprey
|
A bald eagle races in toward
the Osprey with the fish
|
Powering in a full speed
the Eagle is fast approaching
the slower Osprey
|
Right over our heads and
very close to catching up.
