Horses and Marmots

Went out in the middle of the day today to see about taking some photos of the wild horses. Not the most ideal time of the day to try and take photos of wildlife (if you consider the horses to be wildlife) but then it was more of an exercise of getting out and taking some photos while I had free time and seeing what I could come up with for the conditions. It was super windy out today also and that made it slightly more challenging to keep the camera steady with a larger lens on.

 After checking out the horses for a bit I drove over off East McCarran where there are some fields and there were marmots all over the place so I pulled off along side the road where I saw one near the edge of the field to try and get some images of them. They are real skittish so most the time they just took off for their burrow but I managed to get a few of this guy sticking his head out.

Eastern Oregon

We recently took a trip up to Eastern Oregon to do some camping and fishing with family in the Logan Valley area. I love the area up there as there is a lot of scenic views and wildlife. We did some fly fishing on a couple of the creeks in the area, catching some Brook and Rainbow Trout that made a nice breakfast for everyone. This area also gave me some opportunities to practice some photography. Because of the wet winter and spring it was still really green up there and I like the way the green vegetation looked next to the full creeks. I would have liked to get some more wildlife images but for the most part the wildlife did not want to cooperate with that. Overall we had a great time.
