Red-throated loon ยป Graf Nature Photography; Notes from the woods
I asked a colleague this morning if she ever saw loons at her lake front home, and was disappointed when the answer was in the negative. By coincidence, I saw Mark's photo of a Red-throated loon at his blog, Graf Nature Photography; Notes from the woods as soon as I got home tonight.
I've been watching the Planet Earth series on TV (it's fabulous, but that's a differnet post)and enjoying the short trailers at the end that go behind the scenes and explain how the series was made. It's clear to me that my fondness of central heat and indoor plumbing is a barrier to world renown as a nature photographer. While Mark was taking pictures of loons in sub-freezing weather, I was complaining under my breath about the 1/2 block walk from car to office (uphill both ways!).

I will be the first to admit I hate the cold too. It is a constant battle between my desire to photograph and me wanting to stay inside during this time of year. Yesterday found me in more blizzard conditions and me questioning myself on why I got up so early. :-)
Thanks for the referral here.
p.s. I am loving the Planet Earth series as well. I have been recording them and need to catch up with all the episodes.
