Good moorrrrrrrrrrrrning, Ankeny!

You've never seen anyone get as much enjoyment out of one little bird as my sister does. Well - it wasn't exactly a LITTLE bird. Nevertheless.

We took a sunny morning excursion to Ankeny Wildlife Refuge, about 15 minutes from the Farr house - lucky duck, to be that close! The very first thing we saw had Becky doing contortions out the car window with her very fancy and HEAVY camera ... then she eased open the door and took another 2 dozen shots...


and she finally couldn't stand it, hopped out of the car, scurried down the lane, and kept shooting...
at this totally oblivious Eagle. This photo is actually mine, it was hard to get a good angle with SOMEONE else hogging the sweet spots - but we won't name names. ( Besides, she has a better toy...and an artist's eye for the choice shots. And she shares *U*)

If you want to see some truely wonderful photos of our joy-filled morning jaunt, click over to Becky's blog at http://www.bbfarr.blogspot.com/ .


Sometimes you just have to grab a sliver of time and hold on for the ride - it will refresh your heart and soul!

  1. I saw Becky's post first and then to see the other side of her camera - so to speak - was fun! You were all in your element!

  2. That was a fun day, wasn't it? It's funny to see myself taking pictures :-). I do look a little obsessed, huh?
