Let me ask you, with the scene above, What do you see? Do you see a photo opportunity laid out before you? I would venture to guess that many of you just might pass by this spot thinking that there wasn’t anything special about the place. For me […]
Perhaps one of my most favorite birds to find and spend time with are the charming and sweet Snow Buntings. Nothing more says that winter is here then the arrival of a few of these beauties at North Point State Park in Edgemere, Maryland. Their favorite hangout spot […]
The habitat that I’ve created in my garden with food, water and shelter has become a safe haven for wildlife. This autumn a few rare visitors have come through that was least expected. Fortunate to be able to come and go throughout the day while I work I […]
