We\u00a0just returned last night from a 5 1\/2 day camping\/photo trip to sw Montana.\u00a0 It was simply an awesome\u00a0journey with mostly great weather and light, lots of wildlife and\u00a0birds (especially raptors), spectacular scenery, interesting characters and no significant mishaps but now the piper must be paid.\u00a0 I have an\u00a0endless list of chores to catch up on which includes unpacking, washing gobs of dried mud and cow poop off of my pickup and camping\u00a0trailer and then culling\u00a0thousands of\u00a0new images and processing the keepers.<\/p>\n

So, for obvious reasons this will be a short post.<\/p>\n

This image was taken last Thursday morning in Beaverhead\u00a0County, Montana.\u00a0 Lots\u00a0 of factors have to play out\u00a0to get a nice\u00a0image of a bird taking off and for this shot I\u00a0was able to get\u00a0many of them right but I was missing an attractive, natural perch. \u00a0In this case it was an ugly power pole insulator and wire so I decided to clone them out.\u00a0 I’m a very reluctant cloner\u00a0but when I just can’t resist the temptation I always disclose.<\/p>\n

Because of the trip I’ve been slow in\u00a0posting and commenting on other blogs.\u00a0 I’ll remedy both shortcomings in the near future.<\/p>\n
