The late summer day was hazy, even if the temperatures were cooling. The waters on the Chesapeake Bay were calmer than usual, with many summer revelers already returned to the marina for the evening. The Osprey had returned to their nests for the night, but staying ever vigilant […]
I’ve been out shooting lightly the last few days. But getting more misses than hits. Tried to get the cat stalking some ducks, but that didn’t work out so well. The a Great Blue Heron caught my eye, but he was too far away. I also have been […]
This afternoon I set up a new wildlife photographer blind in my driveway to stalk my yard birds. It really made them laugh. When I returned home I had seen a hummingbird in the garden, so I quickly refilled all the feeders and pulled out the Hummingbird feeder […]

Continuing on our Galapagos adventure an afternoon stop at Cerro Dragon cove and wetland brought a contrast in landscapes. A rocky and sandy cove dotted with large cacti greeted us. A dry landing onto volcanic rock brought us to the trail. A resting volcano stood in the distance […]
Don’t worry, I’m still slinking around. The summer heat has kicked in discouraging me from any photo expeditions. Although new lion cubs at the National Zoo have been calling my name. Instead, I’ve begun developing a portfolio of images for sale on Fine Art America. Having an amazing […]
It was a day of heavy rain a couple of weeks ago. Thoughts went into my head that perhaps the rain had brought some birds down and I could find them easier. As the storm was easing and passing through, I headed out to Patuxent Research Refuge – […]
Yesterday the Feathered Friends meetup group visited the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center for a private photo shoot with some of their raptors. Katherine Nelson, Education Manager of CBEC was kind enough to share with us her experience handling these beautiful owls. She patiently held each owl in a […]
