Two Great Horned Owl Fledglings and Mama RMNP

Leaving Rocky Mtn National Park at twilight has its rewards. I photographed a brown bear, a rare Williamson's woodpecker, several marmots, a few wildflowers and lastly a family of great horned owls. Two babies, older fledglings were disgustingly irresistable.




The two fledglings.

Looking for trouble in Rocky Mtn National Park. I found the haunting eyes of a large brown bear, a sow. #RMNP Brown Bear.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


Venus transects the Sun

Yesterday Venus transected the sun in an event that will not come again for 111 years. Using various shade ratings of arc welder glass I attempted to capture the event. The best picture I have is a triple dot image in the upper right quadrant of the sun. The triple dot is Venus. I captured the image by slowly moving the camera up and down on the tripod.
