Few from Red Rocks Lake NWR

So a year into this adventure that is photography, I took a dedicated 3 day trip to Red Rocks Lake NWR in Montana. It's an awesome place that at any given time has 80 species of birds, not to mention the bear, elk , moose and deer. My best friend went with me, and he is a photographer to aspire to. He gave me some great advice. He also gave me the 5dii that I use. If you all like, I ll post another set in a few days. Thanks for taking the time to look. Cole
