Golfing in Iowa

Glynn's Creek Golf Course

I’m off on a short family visit in Iowa this week and man, is it green here.  The brown grasses and hills of California make one forget just how different it is in the middle of the country.  Looking out the airplane window, all you see is green green green with creeks, streams and rivers cutting up the farmland.  I managed to get out to the golf course with the some of the family yesterday and play 18 holes.  This one spot had a great view down the hole with the cart perfectly positioned in the foreground.  Way off in the distance beyond the green, is the corn fields.

If the clouds cooperate in the next few days, I’m going to chase down a barn or two and see if they’ll play nice for the camera.  I even rented a wide-angle lens for this trip in my efforts to replicate a FunkySlug image.  My work’s cut out for me :) .

Below is another view of the course with the sun cutting through the clouds.

Seafood Breakfast with a Golf Course View – Daily Shoot 77

On an early morning shoot which failed to deliver any good sunrise shots, it did lend more favorably to the wildlife.  The seagulls were dropping mussels to break the shells and then diving after them to guard their meal.   One aggressive large one would then chase them off of their food.  He was able to score a few free meals that way.
