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..

Sandhills and Sunsets
Another post from my 2012 trip to the Platte River (Nebraska) for migrating Sandhill Crane photography. Hoping to have fresh, 2015 images in a post tomorrow (barring being too busy capturing images!) :o) The Platte River trip started out slowly, with rain sporadically hindering us. But as the week progressed, we began receiving beautiful weather […]

Whooping Cranes, Revisited
Today’s post is a re-post of a special encounter I had in 2012. As you read this post, I am on my way back to the Platte River to photograph the migrating Sandhill Cranes, and (hopefully) another Whooping Crane! I plan on blogging live from the area, as I have time. Until I have some […]

New DisneyFilm … A Closer Look
If you saw the preview of the new DisneyFilm bear movie that I posted the other day (“Grab Some Popcorn …”), I’d like to go behind the scenes and share some images and stories of my visit to Hallo Bay Bear Camp, where the new movie is being made. As I mentioned, I was photographing […]

Get the Popcorn Out … A Sneak Preview!
As you may know, I love to head north to Alaska. And my usual subject is the big, coastal brown bears of Hallo Bay. Late last summer, I was able to spend 6 days at the Hallo Bay camp, photographing the wonderful brown bears here. But what I hadn’t mentioned, was the fact that I […]

Tiger Swallowtail (Re-post)
(This post originally published in August 2010) Today I’m featuring another visitor I found at the Prairie Meadow the other day. As I was leaving the meadow, This large Tiger Swallowtail (Pterourus glaucus) flew in and fluttered about the thistles that are currently blooming. I just love seeing/photographing these beauties … so large and so […]

Magnificent Monarch (Re-post)
(This post originally published in August 2010) While photographing birds in the prairie meadow the other day, I was joined by a large, beautiful Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus). He landed on a nearby thistle and grazed the flower for nectar for several minutes. When he was done, he lifted off and fluttered above the meadow, […]

Finally!!!
Have you ever waited for what seemed to be “forever”, then without warning, your wish was granted? Well, one of my seemingly forever wishes was just granted yesterday afternoon! One of my nemesis birds has been the beautiful Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum). Yeh, I’ve seen them before … but always at a long distance and […]

There’s Gold in Them Thar Prairies (2012)
This post originally published in August 2010. In my quest to get some images of the birds in the prairie meadow, the most common one I’ve found is the American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis). The Goldfinches can be found all over the meadow, but most are found near a large area of sunflowers, which is the […]

Johnson’s Shut-Ins

This park is located in southeast Missouri, not far from the Missouri “bootheel”. Today’s post includes a few images I made of the “shut-ins”, the rock formations in the shallow water. This was […]
