Chickadee Calls -- Sound Two

A sound recording of chickadees. The bird is known for it's call "chick-a-dee-dee-dee-dee" like it's saying its name. These are the other sounds it makes. Photo taken by me.

Birds in the Morning -- Sound One

A recording in Crosslake, MN of a variety of birds, including geese, crows, and chickadees. There was no focus on a specific bird. I'm satisfied with the sounds I collected! Photo taken from uploadimages4free.com.

Animals in the Winter Time -- Photo Story #5

       For my fifth photo story, I was looking for a subject in the aesthetic perspective. My first thought was to capture a sunset or sunrise. Since I have done a sunrise time lapse, I thought it'd be best to find a different subject. I walked near the lake and found numerous animals along the shoreline. It was snowing hard and I found it to be a very peaceful setting. The birds swam near each other, the squirrels were huddled against the trees, and the beaver swam around in circles, diving once in a while in search for food. 

        Seeing the animals on a silent day, covered in snow, made me realize that we are not the only ones who face the cold! I think this is a great story in the aesthetic perspective. I love capturing animals in pictures and I love looking through them. This was a fun story to put together. 

Ducks weaved in and out of the branches coming from a tree they swam under.

A squirrel grasps onto a branch as snow falls on its head.

A beaver swims off shore looking for food.

A family of geese swims together near the ducks.
