This is my entry to Leanne Cole’s Monochrome Madness 2 this week. The first week of the month is Theme Week and since we had Curves last month it made sense for her to pick Straight for this month.
This image is one I made last week-end while in San Francisco.

I spent the morning in San Francisco walking around North Beach and spent some time trying to photograph decisive moments and “street photography”. Something I’m not really practiced with. It was fun, and challenging.

Another Red-tail from a birding expedition. We seem to have more Red-tails than any other Hawk. 🙂

Here we are at week 45 of Leanne Cole’s Monochrome Madness 2. It’s hard to believe I’ve been posting in this group for almost a year already! Time has raced by with just 7 weeks to go until this year of Monochrome Madness 2 comes to an end.
For this week’s entry I’m in California’s unspoiled marshes in the wildlife refuges surrounded by grass, reeds,creeks, ponds, and the willows.
Some of the Willows look like shrubs, and others like the Black Willow stand tall. Until I started photographing these trees I had no idea there were so many types of Willow Trees.

My friend Dali and I went out to Merced National Wildlife Refuge last week-end and found oh, so many Snow Geese, and some Lesser Sandhill Cranes along with the usual suspects. We were photographing some of the Snow Geese and other birds in the nearest marsh when all of the sudden the noise level escalated and the birds took to the air!
The squawking, screeching, quacking, and honking was so loud you couldn’t hear yourself speak! It was pretty neat to see and hear. We’re not sure but, we think a Hawk, or Coyote spooked them.

It’s Theme week (Curve(s) )on Leanne Cole’s Monochrome Madness2.
It rained a lot during the week which kept me indoors, and my imagination and “sight” were MIA this past week when looking for curves everywhere I did go, and around the house. So, I went back to Death Valley National Park via my archives to find curves.
I love the curves, and contours of the Sand Dunes so, I selected an image I made in 2011 for my entry to Monochrome Madness 2 this week.

These are rice silos in Sacramento Valley, California. The Sacramento Valley produces medium, and short grain rices. There are a lot of silos here that I’ve wanted to photograph every time I come up for birding.
This past week-end while on my way from refuge to another for sunset I was just fooling around with the 200-500mm lens and took several images of silos we passed. I boosted my ISO to increase my shutter speed and made this image from the car while it was zipping along the freeway at 65MPH.
I’d love to spend some time making images of these with the right lens and framing.
