Red Mountain Eagle Pow Wow, November 7th & 8th
My friend Linda and I went to the Red Mountain Eagle Pow Wow on Saturday on the Salt River Indian Reservation. I only had a chance to go Saturday afternoon and what a beautiful sight.
Before the event started the announcer introduced the honored person to give the pray before the Grand Entrance. I noticed off in the distance a bird flying towards us. When it started to get closer I could tell it was a Raptor of some kind so I started to take pictures of it as it flew right overhead. I couldn't believe how beautiful this red-tail hawk was and how fitting to start the Pow Wow. It was funny the entire audience around me was also looking up and enjoying the view of this magnificent bird in flight. My friend told me she had goose-bumps when watching the hawk in flight.
I could not believe all the dancers that were there, what a sight to see. The Grand Entrance was amazing. We were seated right next to the entrance and I couldn't take pictures fast enough when all the dancers were entering. Unfortunately being right next to the entrance I had people walking in front of me all afternoon so many of my photos were no good, but I got some good shots :-)
Below are some of the photos from the Pow Wow. Hope to go back next year and enjoy the sounds, color, dances and food of the Pow Wow.

Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch in Gilbert, AZ
Had the most wonderful morning today. I hit the road at 6:00 am to go take photos at the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch in Gilbert.
It's been several weeks since I'd been out there hoping to see some new birds this time and I certainly did. There were birds I've never seen before!!! The new birds were the American Wigeon, Long-billed Dowicher, Verdin, Baird's Sandpiper and a Killdeer.
The ponds had more water in them since I'd been there last and to watch all the Canadian Geese fly this morning was so exciting. Their honking could be heard all over the preserve.
There was so much activity this morning there were times I just sat back and watched in amazement.
Enjoy the photos and have a great week...

My First Post as a Photographer
I'm so excited, this is my first post to my new blog as a photographer. My name is Pamela and I have always dreamed of being a photography. My life took me in many directions as I grew up, became an adult and now I'm looking at retiring in 5 years and photography was not a part of it.
I told my husband about my dream and he purchased a camera for me and gave it to me for Christmas 2014; love this man! :-)
He gave me a Nikon D5200 DSLR camera and of course it's red; my favorite color. I have not put this camera down since he gave it to me. I'm out every weekend taking photos of wild life, nature, landscapes, dancers and sometimes just walking the neighborhood to see what I can find.
I started posting my photos on Facebook and my friends love seeing my photos and encourage me to keep going. I have seen in the last 10 months I've been taking pictures I have improved!
In June 2015 I registered for an online photography class and it was the best thing I've done. It was iPhotography an international school. I learned so much I'm still taking classes to improve my art.
I have been a belly dancer for over 30 years and thought I would go in that direction of taking photos of dancers. With our summers in Arizona being so hot taking photos outside, which is what I love to do, dancer photos were out for awhile. I started going to Parks and Preserves and taking photos of wildlife and nature. I found my calling; I can't get enough of nature photography.
Remember my awesome husband? Well he spoils me rotten, we purchased an RV a couple of months ago so we can travel to wildlife preserves and State Parks so I can take photos. We have been on two trips and plan a trip once a month.
What I have planned for this blog is to display my work, give my thoughts about photography and my adventures, highlight other photographers, share articles, workshops, classes, videos and more.
To end my first post below are photos from a hike I took with my friends Lindsay and Linda in search of the Wild Horses of the Salt River on October 16th.
