jonny_redhorse Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 took a ride down "south of the Zim" country.....no deer but still a nice ride ....I did see a flock of about 20 or so sharptails in a field ...just north of Meadowlands a mile or so....same place I saw em this spring during the mating "dance thing"...same field even!...I did manage 1 photo but these guys are serious spookie ....pic I managed is about 250' or so away and even then the "sentry" saw me!....one spooked,then another...cackling and clucking as they flew and scattered...all on private farm fields so a guy can't really follow em...built in protection...good to see the sharptail"holding their own" at least in some areas...here's a pic of one of the flock...no it's not one of my better photos but shows it's a sharptail anyways ...and a couple other photos from that area... St. Louis River....noticed alot of the leaves have already fallen off the trees I take a pic of this barn every year...seasonal thing I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassman Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I like that last one quite a lot. I like the blandness of the whole picture offset with the dark and vibrant red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny_redhorse Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 thanks brassman!...yes,a simple barn, simple scene but still has a certain "appeal" to it..guess it always has with that big maple next to the barn...took many photos of this whole scene through the years...here's a couple from awhile back...

MN Shutterbug Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Your grouse photo is similar to my sandhill crane shots, good for identification. The barn with the maple is super. I really like the contrast between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmeyer Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Johnny, Great shots. I really love the barn photos. I have a thing for old barns. Your photos always make it seem like I live in a very different state than you. A much less picturesque state I'm sure it'll be fine once we get some more color.

Steve Foss Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Jonny, you keep taking images of that barn, and I keep loving them! Once a farmer always a farmer, I guess. That last one with the round bale in the foreground is especially nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
