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..

A Little Post-Kayak Gaura
On Monday morning, I arose early and headed out with the kayak. I had a wonderful, peaceful couple of hours as I drifted around a nearby lake. Ran across quite a bit of wildlife (will post images in later posts), but as I was pulling the kayak out of the water to load into my […]

The flowers of this cool plant appear so delicate, but are really quite rugged. Many times, I find this plant in bloom with extremely small crab spiders on them, but this […]

At first glance, they looked like Monarchs, but as I got closer, I discovered they were Clouded Crimson Moth caterpillars. Here are a couple of my favorite images from that first encounter: In case you’re […]

Butterfly Flower (Re-post)
(This post originally published in September 2010) As I was leaving the Prairie Meadow the other day, I noticed a new plant now blooming, the Gaura or Butterfly Flower (Gaura biennis): In the above image, there are several flowers shown, 2 white ones and one pink one. The pink flower is one that is […]
