[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 254254, member: 12257"] Day 25 - Other priorities... Well, it ended up being 65 degrees today, which isn't bad at all for a Saturday in January! ESPECIALLY since we had wind chills below zero just a few days earlier... Anyway, I spent the day on the motorcycle, and purposefully left the camera behind so I wouldn't be stopping every 2 minutes. Today was for the joy of the ride!! Along the way, I saw at least 3 different hawks, so when I got back home, I headed back out in the 4-wheeled cage to see if I could spot any, and though I spent about 30 minutes looking, the light began to fail and I had no luck at all. I did stop to try to get a couple of shots of an abandoned house, but as I had to stop on the side of the highway, I stood out a bit and was asked to move on. Not sure if they were the original owners or just concerned neighbors, but I didn't ask, just agreed with a smile and a wave. It was low light by then, so they didn't come out so great. Nor did I get the chance to switch to my nifty fifty, so SORRY for the couple of blah shots.
