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: Need A Ride? Call Uber!

This guy was an excellent fisherman, catching many more fish than not. I was surprised at the small size of the fish he was catching. In […]

Maternity Ward
Yesterday’s post of the Osprey at the Great Blue Heron rookery was the same rookery I posted on last year. After the osprey caught a fish and flew off to eat it in private, I walked around the pond dam and checked out the nesting status of the rookery. I saw 6-8 Great Blue Herons […]
