Winter is coming and at last the temperatures have dropped and the ground has dried up a bit. It’s good to not be walking in the mud every day. Winter is a favorite time of year for me to go out and explore the great outdoors with duck […]
It was yet another rainy day again today and high winds were predicted to follow the rain bands as they passed. It’s been a while that I’ve wanted to work on some slow exposures over 30 seconds with a 10-stop Neutral Density filter but the skies just weren’t […]
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 […]
It’s a day to be thankful for all of the gifts that I receive. For years I’ve been creating a wildlife habitat in my urban garden by providing water, food and shelter. As they say, birds of feather flock together and it is true. The more birds see […]

To say that Autumn was short and sweet here is an understatement. This is the first year in the past six or seven years that I didn’t head out to Shenandoah National Park to hike Old Rag Mountain with my good friends in the hiking club. I was […]
It’s been a while since my last post, and to be honest I haven’t had much to say that is inspiring to either myself or for you. It didn’t help that my horse dumped me into a briar patch a couple of weeks ago and left me abandoned […]
A photographer’s lament. Went out for a beautiful sunrise on the meadow and there was no light. Heavy clouds covered the sky not even leading to lovely soft-box light which I was at least hoping for. So I sat there wondering what to do. At least I can […]
This past week has been filled with catching up with life’s regular to-do’s and I haven’t had much of a chance to go out on a photo walkabout. This summer I’ve had a big “Pay-it-forward” project at a nearby paddock that holds two horses that needed some additional […]
