Bluff Cave Falls agin - colder this time. Also, the Historic Entrance with a little ice (was hoping for more).

Looking for ice. Found ice. (Wasn't hard to do.)

Gotta get there sooner. Bluff cave falls.

Well, I was hoping after the big rain we had had yesterday and overnight that there would be a good flow of water over the falls and into the cave. It was still raining when I took the photo, but not very heavily. Anyway, I will try again.

The leaves are gone, but the bare sycamores are nice.

Moon and contrail.

Was on the kayak out on Shanty Hollow Lake. The half moon was nice, the contrail made it better. This is not a great shot of the moon or a contrail - I do like the combo though.

I have taken A LOT of liberty on the post processing, actually it looks very little like what came straight of the camera. There you go.

From the AHATT (all heron all the time) channel - here you go.

Approaching the end of the fall color shots.

Well, hopefully I will grow tired of Nolin Lake soon.

Still liking the new kayak, still liking the lake, still liking the herons.
So... will probably not grow tired of the lake anytime soon.

A few dam shots.

180 deg pano

Another trip to Nolin Lake with the kayak.

A Racoon on Shanty Hollow Lake

Two more from a trip up Barren River.

Apparently, turtles are not on the Heron menu.

And another.

A decent turtle shot. Spa Lake, Logan Co Ky.

Depth of field was a little too shallow, but a generally pleasing shot. I think.

Ok, more herons.

Hey, they are out there and easy to photograph.

Trying out new kayak at Shanty Hollow

After my decent success last Saturday on a fishing kayak, I have decided I need get out on the water more with my cameras. To that end, I bought a bigger fishing kayak that will make it easier to work the cameras. This was just a quick little jaunt to Shanty Hollow to try out the new kayak. This heron was hanging out there, so I harassed him a little. I am sure I will over-do the blue herons thing in the future - stay tuned. Now I need a bigger garage to hold all my stuff.

Kayaking on Nolin Lake

More water. I'll get tired of water someday (but not today).
