By Jim | Published February 12, 2021

Today’s post features an interesting sight I captured in Rocky Mountain NP (Colorado) in 2008. During the fall rut, I was busy photographing the behaviors of the Elk.

Fun Friday: BC’s ‘Mobile Home’

By Jim | Published February 5, 2021

Today’s “Fun Friday” post features an interesting sight we ran across, during a 2008 Orca Whale adventure along the BC coastline.

Fun Friday: Angry Bird

By Jim | Published December 4, 2020

Today’s “Fun Friday” post features another “life” bird for me, back in 2012. While photographing at a waterhole in the Rio Grande River Valley of south Texas, this Pyrrhuloxia flew in, while giving the appearance of being another “Angry Bird”: You could call this bird a “Cardinal imposter”, as it resembles a Northern Cardinal in […]
