Omaha is doing lots of work on their riverfront. We decided to see what's new, Wow, It looks great. If they can keep the idiots from putting graffiti all over it should be beautiful for years to come. Click on the shots to see them full size.
The walking/bike trail was wonderful. I connects Nebraska and Iowa. Some idiots had already put graffiti on it but they are blotting them out.
The clouds are the reason the shots are dark but the weather was warm.
I loved the way the little glass bottles swayed in the breeze.
Lovely mural on the side of a building. Cool isn't it.
On this shot I was going for the duck between the reeds.
While focusing it I found I liked the look of reeds and thought I would make them the focus with the duck as just a background addition. I like the way both shots turned out. What do you think?
On the way back from the lake a storm was building and starting to move in. The clouds gave the sky a great look behind me....
But in front of me the sky looked completely different, innocent and a lovely color of blue. If things dry up ever the corn looks ready to harvest.
But if you look closely, still a hint of green on most things.
I thought this bird was a tern but now I wonder if it is plover. Anyone know for sure? It is a cutie.
Just found out the bird is a Killdeer.
I feel in love with this wheel chair ramp that goes out to the dock. Make for a great shot also. Another little bird I am not sure of. Looks like a sea gull but we are a long way from the sea. The cat tails are starting to deteriorate..
The color of the wood, the storm front movie in and the darkness of the water. Loved it all.
