The baffle is the stopper. If the squirrel enters the baffle, looking for food, it gets lost and finally comes out the bottom. There is part of me that is eager for this pest to experience the terror of the dark. But they’re still a cute creature.
This photo is a result of some HDR post processing for better color and texture. It’s rare to find wildlife so willing to stand still for it.

Photo taken near Banff, Alberta Canada in April 2010
These deer waited in some trees to the right until they apparent found the appropriate moment to dash across the street in front of us.
This photo took a great deal of post processing, including an initial HDR treatment with PhotoMatix Pro. Then I divided the photo into layers in Photoshop, masked out the animals, and then applied a motion blur on the background to convey more of a sense of motion and speed.
This is actually the Earl Scruggs Center now. I hadn’t photographed this building in a long time, but was so hyped by my Lilybean Coffee that I became inspired.
I spent an hour taking photos across a pasture near here as the sun was rising. On my way back to the house, I spotted this scene, turned my truck around, and grabbed three exposures of it. The photo is post processed with Photomatix Pro (HDR) and some touch ups with Adobe Lightroom. I am especially pleased with this photo.
St. John in-the-Wilderness in Flat Rock, North Carolina was the first Episcopal Church in Western North Carolina. It was consecrated on August 28, 1836. Charles and Susan Baring, who considered Charleston, South Carolina too hot in the summer, were among the first settlers of Flat Rock in the 1820s. Other people moved from Charleston to Flat Rock, which Bishop Ives called a “new but interesting settlement” in 1837.

We had heard that they were around. After all, we live off of Eagle Cove Drive. I saw this guy and another flying over the lake it a back window. I ran outside with my camera and found him sitting on a nest over our property that we didn’t know was there.
