\"FarmingtonFarmington Bay view of snowy Antelope Island – Cell phone picture<\/span><\/p>\n

It took a long time but I have gotten On The Wing Photography moved to the new server. The problem I had was importing the huge database and tons of image files.<\/p>\n

I did take some time this morning to head out to Farmington Bay WMA and for the first time that I can remember I didn’t even pick my my big camera up because there were so few birds and none that I could see were close enough. I did take a cell phone picture of the scenery because it is always<\/em> wonderful to see clear skies here during the winter before the inversion closes back in on us.<\/p>\n

I’ll be back to my normal schedule and posting photos of birds, wildlife and nature tomorrow!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
