On our way to the quarry in Eminence in May, I decided to stop and photograph one of my favorite places in Missouri…Alley Spring Mill…they had quite a bit of rain and I made two discoveries on arrival…the first was that the water was up and really rolling out of the spring and down the creek as I was video shooting the mill…
….the second, there was a big woodpecker busy looking for worms at the edge of the mill pond with a big plume of strikingly red hair on top of his head….
…I shot him with my newer camera, a Lumix 480Z…still not happy with it….here is a video of the mill, stream, and woodpecker that I photographed next….
…in order to view this video, click on the link above, DSC_102 and then when the next link pops up, click on the longer link in blue and the video will load and pop up on your screen to watch. The next video shows the millrace and spring waters rolling down into the stream at a much higher elevated pace…
