53736pCold * This photo is not as sharp as it should be. I was shaking too hard. * 571 x 460 * (89KB)

53803pClimb * Oh no. The battery is cold and only works for a shot or two after being in my pocket for several minutes. The spare is all the way up there and about 1/4 mile down a trail to the car. Rats. I'm just not used to this cold weather shooting. * 700 x 466 * (139KB)

53808pIceDock * Looking further down the steps is the floating (or more accurately frozen in ice) pier. * 700 x 466 * (79KB)

53867pOldCourthouse * This is in Vandalia, Illinois. It was founded in 1819 to be the capital of the new state of Illinois. In the foreground is a life-size bronze statue of Lincoln. He began his career as a state rep at the State Capitol in Vandalia from 1834 to 1839. * 511 x 700 * (109KB)

53889pMadonnaOfTheTrail * This statue, also with the Old State Capitol in the background, is the Madonna of the Trail. It marks the end of the National Road which was the first highway built by the federal government. The statue was donated in 1928 by the DAR in memory of the pioneer mothers of covered wagon days. * 700 x 685 * (153KB)

53918pWildTurkey * Wild turkey. They didn't hang around long. As soon as I'd come up on some, they would scatter. I jumped out of the car and got this shot. Not great, but at least you can tell what it is. * 700 x 467 * (89KB)

53961pHiding * One of the few bucks I saw and he's pretty scrawny. The bucks were really hiding out. * 467 x 700 * (93KB)

53972pEveningBuck * Same guy. Right after I took this shot, I moved a little bit to my left and down to try to get a clean shot without the branch. Lined up perfect and ... he bolted. Darn. * 700 x 467 * (106KB)

54018pDeerEveningLight * She's actually moving closer and closer toward me. She is very curious. * 700 x 467 * (121KB)
