Well March is here and here come the birds…
February was kind of an odd month. The temps jumped way up to 45-48 degrees and then March rolled in and it started to get cold, windy and snowy again. Well, in like a lion out like a lamb.

Print of the Month
We are proud to present our new Print of the Month – Castles. This image was made in the Books Cliffs area on the Western slope of Colorado. The color of the Books Cliffs varies in luxurious pastels and is quietly beautiful in soft light but for this image I saw shapes and forms that called for a B&W interpretation as I envisioned the light. The title comes from the sandstone formation that is prominent and the surrounding formations that support it. As always (so far) the original file was made using B&W film for a classic rendering of tones. Please stop over and visit Fall River Photography. The Print of the month is offered at a reduced price for a limited time.
Then we got into these…
Eagles. Homer is known for its Eagles and it did not disappoint. We headed out toward the end of the Spit and they were waiting right there for us. Wonderful. So we introduced ourselves and and asked them to model for a while. Homer Eagles are very accommodating and the photography was incredible. I don’t know if you can imagine this but we were less than six feet away from them at times. Very honored to be able to photograph these beautiful birds. There will be a couple images from this trip in the Spring Releases. This one might be one of them.
Breakfast
We stopped in at Two Sisters Bakery and had a great breakfast. The Mocha is to die for I can tell you that and the Blueberry scones are tops. Really enjoyed listening to the local banter too. Seafaring stories and all, it was great and we felt right at home. By the way they make a pretty good breakfast quiche too.
Off to Homer
We headed down to Homer for some good old fashioned bird photography. We were very successful in finding birds and good views. We started out at Bishops Beach watching the sunrise. The tide was low but not the big minus tide of the month. There were a few clam diggers out there and we enjoyed watching the eagles fly by on their way over to the spit. Great sunrise the first morning, looking south.
