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: Beautiful in Black
While in Des Moines last weekend for the annual art show, I made some time to drive to the nearby Neil Smith NWR to photograph wildflowers and wildlife. One of the highlights was finding and photographing Ebony Jewell-winged Damselflies. I had found a ton of these beauties when in town last year; this year there […]

First Damselfly
During one of my recent kayak outings, I saw my first-of-year Damselfly buzzing the kayak and then settling in on this wonderful plant. Sorry, but I don’t know the ID of this plant at this time. This is the same plant that contained the spider web from an earlier post (“Water Web”). If anyone knows […]
Black Beauty! (Re-post)
(This post was originally published in June 2010) Yesterday afternoon, as I was mowing our front acreage near the road, I stirred up some really interesting creatures as the lawnmower passed close to where they were perched. I went ahead and finished my mowing and after dinner, I grabbed the camera and went back to […]
