Dig an ice pony

Kind of reminds me of a scene from the movie “Animal House” where the janitor has to remove a dead horse from the dean’s office.

Flight canceled?

Airline passengers aren't the only ones susceptible to flight cancellations this winter season as a flock of more than a hundred Canadian Geese sit grounded in the snow on Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011, in a field at Lions Park. The geese typically fly South in winter, but some geese take up permanent residence at parks and golf courses, according to National Geographic.

A moose at a quilt sale

Well I finally photographed my first moose in Wyoming … sort of. I went down to the local quilt shop looking for a feature after I noticed they were having a big sale this week. I have to admit I don’t know much about quilting, but I know my grandmother would have really enjoyed herself at the shop.

Fun on the frozen lake

Today the feature hunting began. I spent a few hours at the beginning of my shift driving around some of the local parks looking for some “wild art” – a feature photo that doesn’t go with a story. I spotted a few fishermen on a frozen lake, and took several frames of them although the shots didn’t really pan out like I had expected. As I was getting ready to leave, I spotted a guy grabbing a sled out of the back of his car and asked him if he minded if I tagged along and snapped a few photos. He ended up pulling his son around for a while on the sled as I snapped away.
