Through The Eyes of a Park Ranger

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a Park Ranger? This blog will give you a small taste of the responsibilities, the exciting moments, and the awesome views experienced in the park from my perspective. Look back to the archives for a 365 day account of when I was a Park Ranger who promoted to an Assistant Park Manager. Now that the 365 project is complete, I will not post daily, but I will be back to share some exciting moments with you from time to time.

The Good, The Bad, The Not-So-Ugly

Good: Today was a day off. Bad: It was cold. Good: I had three brand new lenses for my camera to play with. They arrived yesterday, ordered with Christmas money. Bad: It got colder as the day progressed. Good: There was a GORGEOUS sunrise this morning. Bad: It went away as I headed to Paynes Prairie to get some photos and it started to rain. Good: The rain held up once I got to Paynes Prairie. Bad: It was too dark to photograph any of the very distant wildlife. Good: I did get some decent photos. Bad: I really didn't get to try out my new lenses to the fullest extent. Good: I did get a couple of decent shots. Bad: There are only three. Good: I did have one more frosty photo from last week that I wanted to share as well.

(I don't think it's possible for your photos to get any more beautiful...) Love the frosty outlines. All the leaves you've been posting lately look like new variegated species!; Saturday, January 09, 2010
