Down By the River

Holes Creek runs through Grant Park in Centerville, Ohio - a great place to find a great variety of bugs and birds. While I was busy spotting bugs, Stefan Minnig spotted an American Redstart, Black & White Warbler and a juvenile Chestnut-Sided Warbler. Finally finished my latest soft-box for my off-camera flash - really happy with the results. The light diffuser casts a nice even light across the field.
