Spaceship Earth

Lots of cool things to photograph at Disney World.  This one as we were leaving the park was my favorite from yesterday.

Crazy Horns Part 1

I spent the better part of last Sunday walking about 120 acres starting to look for deer sheds.  Now you might be wondering... what is a deer shed.  No it is not a place they store their tools or some place they build to sleep at night (actually had someone ask me that once).  It is the antlers of the deer that fall off, or shed, each year before they grow their new ones.  I had recently shared the photos of two nice bucks I had seen a few times and was hoping to find one of their sheds in particular.

One of the bucks we have nicknamed crazy horns.  You can see his photo again below.

Crazy horns has his right side antler with all the horns or points broken off and the left side is a huge spike.  In person it looks crazy to say the least.  Well after searching all day Sunday we finally found our first shed of the season.  We found the right side of Crazy Horns.  You can see below the picture taken with my iPhone of where it was when we found it.

We'll be out this weekend looking for more sheds.  The odds are slim we find the other side of Crazy Horns but we'll try our best.

The Boys

Here are two bucks that have been hanging out together this winter. I've seen flashes of them several times but they came in just before dark last night. I had to shoot 12800 ISO so a little grainy even after downsizing but I still thought they make nice shots. One is obviously a pretty large and dominant buck and the other has the longest spike on one side I've ever seen. Would love to find these sheds after they drop in the next few weeks.

Fall Colors on Lake Creek

We just missed the peak colors up north in Rhinelander this year but here is a shot of one my favorite islands on the lake.  You can see the color in the tamaracks and the clouds cooperated nicely today as well.

Mallard Duck

Just a simple photo of a duck I took today.  Was out on the river and just shooting some general pics. Not a ton of wildlife was close but the ducks almost always oblige.

Happy 4th of July

Here's another photo of the Bald Eagle eating a northern pike on top of a stump pile / muskrat house. Seemed like a fitting photo for today. Happy 4th of July!
