Not much shooting this weekend however I did find a something unique.  A mink in a tree!  This mink was in a hollow crevice about 15 feet up in the side of a pine tree.  Unfortunately he was on the shady side in low light so was not able to get sharp detail, but the cute factor makes up for it.

Weather was not overly cooperative for the first part of the weekend with a lack of quality (morning/evening) sunlight.  Sunday evening and Monday morning provided much better light.  I was able to get a couple of nice eagle shots Monday morning.

Shots from this Friday and Saturday at Ludington State Park.  This first image is a new species for me.  It was shot just west of the dam in the marshy area.
