Another perspective of what I saw while driving through this area, about a week ago. I did not see many birds, but it was quiet, and I had the place to myself. This is about a half hour drive give or take - east of where I went to see the sand hill cranes.

I used the sigma 17-70 lens with my canon 40D.

Thank you for commenting.

We could get some heavy duty storms today, everyone in the path of them I hope you stay safe.

It reminds me a lot of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge around here. I like the reflections of the clouds on the water here, Sandi. Another beautiful shot.

That brown and blue and the reflections make this a lovely shot Sandi.

Pretty shades of blue and just enough clouds in the sky to give the photo interest Sandi. Good shot.

So far the storms have skipped us Tigz, but the day is still young.
Great view across the marshlands.

We've had storms off and on since midnight Sandi - and they're still going - my little kitty hates thunderstorms and she is now in one of the bathrooms behind the shower curtain! This area looks so interesting and I'm guessing in summer there would be many of our native prairie plants - beautiful early spring shot.

Lots of air to breathe and lots of thing to see, but no birds (sand hill cranes), so have patience Sandi.

If the storms are there, take care my friend!

Very nice wide shot of the marsh Tigs!!! You have to go back in a few weeks where you just might find some wildlife to photograph. Nice one!!!

This is a fine place for those birds. Maybe they need some advertisement. At least you had the place to yourself Sandi. Lovely view. Be careful and don't get stuck in the mud.

Your drive brought us this gorgeous capture of where a lot of birds would feel free. Such gorgeous colours and composition, that's a marvelous sky and love the reflections in the water.

ths one is good Tigs, great perspective. i love the fact the sky has a beautiful aqua color & the water more of blue. i get tried of those dark deep blue skies that arent always neccessary for a good balance...you did good! cool having the place all to yourself, eh? becareful out there. walk small and carry that big stick!
