31MAR2012 Around the bend..... Desoto Bend NWR.... this area has been underwater for most of last year, this is our first trip into the Refuge since the Missouri floods of last spring. Still lots of debris and no animals. Thanks for all the awesome comments on my image "A Roll in the hay" yesterday, sometimes you just need some motivation to start processing things different, it seemed although I was going down a "dark" path while processing causing many images to load dark.....not that this shot "Around the Bend" is dark but the devastation still remains and it will be many years before the Missouri Valley floodplain returns to normal. All of the homes and business's in the area were underwater for over six months.... a major interstate systems was underwater for six months, imagine that in your neighborhood.....tragic. There was a muted silence around the refuge as we drove it completely, no wildlife but there are clear signs the fauna is starting to emerge a spring arrives. It's amazing to see areas built up of slit the river displaced from the areas rural farms, some silt berms were twenty feet tall where there was once a depression prior to the flood......it took thousands of man hours and many pieces of equipment to displace enough dirt to confine the river from engulfing whole communities in the area.....the river, it moved an estimated 100 million cubic yards of farmland to six states downstream of Nebraska and out into the Gulf of Mexico......brutal dictator this Mother Nature. Have a great weekend! Trainwreck, you were right, a stopped clock is right twice a day.....I am a lucky guy, it's unfortunate things are not well with you in light of the events transpiring this week, This week I will step up my game and work a bit. You should be listening to Johnny Cash just like your dad did .......maybe hear the message.
30MAR2012 A Roll in the Hay..... Rural Iowa with a break in the clouds, moments to sunset.... Linda really liked this barn so this one is for you Linda, I enjoyed the trip. Friday....finally. Another week of great images produced by y'all, thanks for commenting on mine.....Pj's in town so I had to step up the processing...... apparently. Party on Garth! Thanks for making it #1 today!
29MAR2012 Next in line..... Awaiting the refurbishment center it sits on the lot.
28MAR2012 Just as we think the clouds are to dissipate we run across this barn, I am down wind of a freshly plowed field with a forty knot wind buffeting the camera on the tripod. I took multiple shots this was the best in the bunch I just couldn't overcome the shaking of the camera on the tripod for the longer higher resolution shots. Iowa is starting to blossom also, this shot is just south of Storm Lake. Single shot no HDR no stitching. Have a great day, thanks for taking the time to comment on this image.
27MAR2012 As the World turns..... Forgotten days of another era against the backdrop of tomorrow, I shot this a mile from the barns over two hillsides. The wind whipping at forty knots you can see the radiant heat mirage from the dark ground in the larger size. Rural Iowa, we started looking for birds...we settled for barns. Have a great day, hope you enjoy a bit of fly over country.....soon all our landscapes will have a power generator in them, or will the large pile of birds below them slow their migration?
26MAR2012 Are you going to bring the food soon.... Have a great week....thanks for looking!
25MAR2012 Up, up and away.... From our stop at the Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge a few weeks back. We are off to find the bald eagle's at Desoto Bend today.....or some barns. Enjoy your Sunday!
24MAR2012 Rain rain go away...... Pouring for days now the birds are so hungry it just doesn't bother them to be out in it..... Have a great weekend, thanks for taking the time to stop and look at my image!
23MAR2012 Through the raindrops... As the storm clouds open the covey retreats to the big blue spruce tree we call the condo, one by one they all funnel past this one, he must be the elder. When all are safe he heads to the condo himself until it stops raining ... Our rain is gone....hurry up flowers! Have a great day!
