We had quite the winter storm. I decided to continue my photography assignment of attempting to show birds during the storm, and how the birds ARE cold. These two photos were taken at the end of Park Point of some herring gulls. I believe it shows them braving the elements!

We humans enjoy the elements. Here are some more photos from today … the stream (Amity Creek) across from my house, a pic from my first Nordic Ski of the season, and some surfers at the mouth of the Lester River on Lake Superior (about 1/3 of a mile away from my home).

Yesterday I featured darkness, both the birds and the night. Today I was out before dawn, and the sunrise was glorious. In both photos you can observe Canadian Geese swimming near the two bridges. The location is the Duluth Harbor on the western tip of Lake Superior. The older span is the InterState Bridge (circa 1895) which the newer bridge is the High Bridge / Blatnik Bridge. I can remember taking a drive across this bridge the first day it opened in 1962 (??).

You may need to click and expand the photos to view the geese!  🙂
