And there I was. Standing in the middle of the meadow before the sun was to rise. The sky was covered in clouds, with just a little bit of clearing where perhaps the sun would reflect its warming rays upon. The birds were chirping and singing in the […]
I went on a wild owl hunt early this morning at Assateague Island National Seashore and came up empty handed. But I did find some amazing creatures that I least expected. Sika Deer are small members of the elk family and were introduced to Maryland in the early […]
In my recent stay in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, my friend and I went in search of White-tailed deer several times. Known to spend time at Big Meadows and the roads leading to the lodge we would troll the roads in hopes of finding one. The past […]
I went on walkabout this morning at Sandy Point State Park. The TPE color forecaster claimed that there would be some color upon sunrise. Well, TPE was completely wrong and it was not only lackluster, it was completely dark when the sun rose upon the horizon. But when […]
There are some darling mascots along the golf course and roadways of Fripp Island, South Carolina. Island Deer are a smaller variety of our common White-tailed deer and are protected in gated communities like Fripp Island. But with that protection also brings challenges. Growing deer populations and distracted […]

Lately I’ve been keeping my fancy camera and big lens in the trunk of my car. I was starting to second guess my folly and thought perhaps I should keep it at home and only bring it when I knew I was going out for a birding excursion. […]
So I’ve spent the last three days stalking Bambi’s at dawn and dusk in great efforts to capture that “Gallery Shot.” This is what this young buck thought of that. Pffffttt ! I’ve got over 800 photos to go through and it’ll be hard to wean down […]
I really need to get out and shoot more. Ummm, with my camera I mean. It’s been a super busy year and I just haven’t gotten as much practice with my camera as I would like to. In the middle of October each year, I join the Mountain […]
