Whitnall Park

Jay — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 16:44:45 +0000

I’ve been shooting a lot in Whitnall Park in Milwaukee County as it is close to my current house and there is a lot to shoot there. I’m pretty close to the Wehr Nature Preserve so I have a good chance at seeing wildlife and also have a good chance on seeing a lot of cool stuff that usually wouldn’t be so close to a city.

Here’s a recent one that is at the lake near the conservatory, I shot it for the “streamline” monthly challenge on NSOP.

That one was fun to shot, but I also nearly dropped my camera/tripod off of the ledge I was shooting from. Slightly tricky but that is what makes it more memorable. I’ve got another one that I shot a couple weeks before in earlier fall from the ‘prairie’ section of the park.

This was a tree that was struck by lightning (at least it looked that way). Pretty cool find on our hike.

Been a while, since I left you…

Stony Point Sunset

I went over to Stony Point in Minnesota for a sunset with Kris when we were up near Duluth for our Isle Royale trip. I finally got around to working on the pictures from there and really liked this one.

It was great there, and I got a good chance to take a bunch of shots. I was most excited to look at the pictures I took of the moose that we saw, here’s the first of those:

And here’s another where Mrs. Moosey was closer.

Pics to come…

It was a great time up there, busy, lots of pics, lots of fun, and great.

The hilight of the trip was seeing a wolf and her puppy, although they were scared off so quickly that we did not get a chance to take any pics of them. It is very rare to see a wolf at all, and a puppy is even less likely. We were the rock stars of the island for a couple days.
