I am amazed at how far Bald Eagle can turn its head

I was standing on the shoulder of Highway 20 on the Skagit River when I took this shot in December a few years ago.

The downpour of yesterday is insult to injury

July 4 Parade in McCarthy, Alaska

Ok, I have posted Sunny environment pictures from South and North. I am hoping this starts a change here.

Humorous! Those were exactly my thoughts as I walked out of Spanish class at BCC last night (which partially prep for our trip to PV next Feb to get away from the never-ending NW winter). At least we had good skiing this winter!!

Yelapa

DW decided to take the parasailing ride and took the camera along to take some pictures. She and friends were at Yelapa and I was golfing. After viewing the photos, I'd rather golf. I have a "health respect" for height.

College of the Sun Street Fair Palm Springs area

Continuing to post pics of sunny experiences in hopes of appeasing the weather gods.

This rain has rattled my brain! College of the Desert Street Fair!!!!!

4th of July Parade

Thanks Sue & Kristin. The aurora borealis (aka northern lights) are simply amazing. I'm hooked, that's for sure! I'm hoping to have a great viewing (and photography) opportunity when I go to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada in November of this year.

Thank you!

Geo! I loved the composition and colors in your street fair basket picture. Wow!

Credit must go to DW. I couldn't see the value of this shot when she was taking it. I just don't have the eye that she does. Of course, when I saw it on the monitor, I wasn't surprised because I know she knows what she is doing.

Am also glad to see others posting their pictures. I am seeing some great stuff. In fact, DW wants to do a 2 weeks drive thru the canyonlands of Utah and Arizona this September and RDB posted a pic that reminded me why we want to to that.

Yvonne's photos of the Northern lights as well as many of her other shots has always impressed me.

Dogs of another breed!

Sun dog over Iowa farm house (Jan08)

Matching sun dogs in Plattville, Wisconsin (Feb08)

Sun dogs are a weather phenomena, typically seen in cold climates shortly after sunrise or before sunset. Good info is on Wikipedia . . . or www.spaceweather.com (where my IA photos were featured 1/15/08): http://www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=15&month=01&year=2008 .

GEO . . . thanks for the complement. I must admit that yours always seem so vivid and colorful . . . or striking in terms of the subject against the backdrop. Keep up the good work!

That helps a lot.

Sue

Sue, Not to pop your bubble, but I tilted that photo on purpose in Picasa editing. The original photo doesn't exphasize the road enough. All I could see was that big mountain.

The distant mountains were obscurd in the sky. I added contrast and played with highlights and color.
