The Goose Family
October 3, 2015
This was a family portrait I made last May. This was a pretty cool goose family as far as goose families go. None of the parents were hissing at me nor did they attempt to chase me away which is pretty unusual. Geese are very territorial and don’t look kindly on interloping guys trying to […]
Local Critter
September 24, 2015
Someone told me a long long time ago that you should never pack up your gear until the very last minute. Some of your best pictures can come when you are done shooting. Best advice I have ever gotten when it comes to photography. I couldn’t tell you how many times it saved my butt […]
The Robin Family
May 15, 2015
This is a Robin nest in a tree right off my balcony. You gotta love it when a photo op this nice is so close to home! I have been watching this nest since it was built. So has Jerry the Cat. They picked a perfect spot too. Far enough out on the branch so […]
The Great Horned Owl Family
May 11, 2015
I like Spring. Everything waking up after a long winter is fun to see. For some reason, I haven’t been walking the trails that much lately. I still enjoy it. Just don’t do it as often. One thing is for sure though. I always stop by the “Owl Basket”. The Owl Basket, located in the […]
The Happy Couple
March 4, 2015
I see this happy couple pretty much every morning. They never seem to stray too far from here but until now, I had never made a picture of them.
4 Ducks on a Log
September 30, 2014
I took a short walk the other day at a place I don’t explore that often. This is one of the first pictures I made. This scene was too good to be true. I was thinking more of Landscapes when I got there and hadn’t even really thought about ducks. And there they were, all […]
A Praying Mantis
September 17, 2014
This is a pretty cool Praying Mantis as far as Praying Mantises go. The shoot didn’t last all that long as I learned quickly that these guys aren’t really big on standing still. I shot this on my kitchen table using a chunk of white seamless for the background with a white stone tile for […]
Hummingbird 2014
August 28, 2014
I saw this Ruby Throated Hummingbird the other day and thought he/she looked pretty interesting. At first I thought it was a youngster but have since been told it is just molting. It’s fun watching these guys zoom around my friends back yard. They are a lot more laid back than the the guys by […]
Summer Solstice 2014
June 22, 2014
Headed out to Bartel Grassland Saturday morning to celebrate the Summer Solstice. Couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant morning! The sunrise was pretty uneventful due to a pretty heavy morning fog but other than that it was a beautiful morning. I forget how quiet it can be out there in the early morning. The […]
Local Buck
June 9, 2014
A local buck was nice enough to pose for us. First buck with velvet antlers I have seen this year. Pretty cool.
Local Turtle
May 8, 2014
A turtle taking a break on a small lake. There were a bunch of these guys just laying around but this guy must have been really comfortable as he/she let me get pretty close.
