Featured Information
Due to my recent move to the Lake of the Ozarks, along with the Covid issues, I am currently not teaching group classes. However, I am available for private individual or very small group, in-the-field teaching, where we can safely learn more about our cameras and our photographic techniques..

Fun Friday: G-hog Day!
Today’s post features 3 images I captured through my back window, here at my Lake of the Ozarks (Missouri) home. As I worked on a photo studio I am setting up, getting ready for Monarch butterfly photography, I caught some movement out the back window. After seeing the grasses/weeds/wildflowers moving swaying back and forth quite […]
Frosty Face
Today’s post features an image I captured in Yellowstone NP this past February. Bison are readily seen in the winter landscapes of Yellowstone NP. How can you hide all that dark coat against the snow?! Photographic Equipment Used: Canon 7D Mark 2 camera Canon 100-400mm f/4.5 – f/5.6 IS lens at 100mm Handheld, with IS […]

Not Quite a “Monkey on the Back”
Today’s post features an image captured during my recent winter trip to Teton NP (Wyoming). While photographing elk that winter here, we came upon a group of Bighorn Sheep who were busy grazing and slow traveling along the ridge of a mountain range: Did you notice the strange-looking sheep on the right? A closer look […]

Fun Friday: Love One Another
Today’s post features a common sight in nature, particularly in early spring during mating season. Courtship behavior is often displayed between sexes. Today I’m featuring a pair of Burrowing Owls (from Oklahoma’s Wichita Mountains) and a pair of River Otters (from Amarugia Highlands CA, in west-central Missouri) in my post. Both images were captured early […]

Clowns of the River
Today’s post features some of our “water clowns”, the River Otter. When out photographing waterways, I’m always looking for the elusive river otter to appear. When I am graced with an otter showing up, you can usually count on at least a few antics in the water … and they are so curious. I’ve had […]
Behemoths in the Snowy Landscape
Today’s post features a few of the bison images I captured during my recent trip to Yellowstone NP. It gets quite cold in winter here … the snow can fall to incredible depths in winter here … but the “Behemoths”, or bison remain a fixture within and around the park as they struggle to overcome […]

Double the Fun
Today’s post comes from one of my past Baja (Mexico) photo trips. On the Pacific side of the Baja Peninsula, Laguna San Ignacio is a popular and most extraordinary place to visit. This area is normally a busy fishing area for the area’s fishermen. In late fall, Gray Whales migrate here for both breeding and […]

Life Under the Sea
Today’s post features a collection of underwater photographs I captured while snorkeling in the Sea of Cortez (Baja, MX) a few years ago. I don’t even have identifications for most of the fish … but I still enjoy pulling these up on my computer and reliving the “Sea of Cortez Experience”! Some of the varied […]

Chilling Duet
With today’s continuing snow and frigid temperatures here in the Missouri Ozarks, I thought this winter scene from a few years ago in Yellowstone NP was very appropriate to feature! While driving the snow-covered roads in the Lamar Valley, we came upon a pair of coyotes who began serenading us with a chilling duet: Our […]

King of the Mountain
Today’s post features one of the most common residents of the Rocky Mountain’s at higher altitudes, the Yellow-bellied Marmot. Here are a few favorite images I captured during one of my trips there: It’s always fun to be around these guys, particularly when you can be with young marmots playing. Photographic Equipment Used: Canon […]
