Today I decided to go to a small stream in the vicinity to try to get som pictures of a White throated dipper. I would suggest att long lens for this kind of photography because the Dipper can be quite shy. I used my trusty 300 mm f/2.8 IS with a 2x extender and since I couldn’t get closer than a 100 feet.

I also found a small lake which had frozen over (probably for the first time this year).

On my way home from my summer house I stopped by this little lake to watch the sunset. Autumn is a beautiful time of year.
