Camera worries
Well, almost a month ago, I did a silly thing by leaving my camera plugged in the usb port on the computer. I ended up ripping out the port. Oops. So today I finally shipped it off to Canon to get fixed. Hopefully it won't take long to get it back, and in the meantime, there will be no new photos. Just a heads up for those that read.

A few good shots, but no bull elk
I went down to Boxley last weekend. Forgot to update this until now, oops! lol. Just before the time of year that I go out to get my tons of eagle shots, at least attempt to, I go for tons of elk shots. Again tempting to. I drove down there, getting there before daylight as usual, only to find a few cow elk crossing the road...........
and a small herd of bulls at the 21/43 junction. Nothing else at all around. Another wasted trip for me on the elk side of things, but I did manage to get this shot of the moon.........
Also, got this shot I've been after for a LONG time of an eagle. I had seen another shot of an eagle on the tip of this exact dead tree by Michael Dougherty, so I always kept my eye out for one on it. Well, my patience finally paid off (the secret to ALL great shots IMO). Here is the result. Absolutely love it, and it takes a lot for me to impress myself. It's probably a good thing, because it keeps me to where I'm always trying to do better. Anyway, enough rambling, here is the eagle...........
Now on a sad note. I crippled my 7d this last week. I had plugged in the usb cable, and sat it down. Well forgot about it, and started to get up, walking right through the cable, ripping out the port. Oops. Insurance is covering it. Just got the check in the mail today for it. But if this wasn't bad enough, I had done this before a few years ago with my 40d. So sad the first time, STUPID the 2nd, lol. It'll never ever happen again, I promise that, :) Now I have to ship off the camera in prime eagle season. Blah. Better just get it over with though. Probably ship it right after xmas. It still works if I take out the card, and use a reader. So that's good at least. Everyone have a great day/night/weekend/week until I post again. :)
