It seems to be a common shot for me with birds and the take off. But this time, this raven was already up 10,000 feet on the Beartooth Pass. So much beauty I saw that day, adding this bird to scale...

Three Swans, Which Way

21-Gun Salute

It was a moving ceremony at a very old cemetery near Dewitt, Missouri. Surrounded by ancient tombstones, corn fields and towering red cedar trees filled with buzzing cicadas, I snapped many pictures of my surroundings and took in my roots.
