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..

Prime Orb Spider Habitat, Pt 3
In Part 3 of the Orb Spider posts, I’m sharing some images of another orb spider I found in my wildflower garden. So far, I’ve not identified the species, but as with most orb spiders, it has a rather ornate pattern on his back (which should aid in identifying it, once I get some time). […]

With a hectic schedule, and working around potential heavy thunderstorms to set up […]
Arboreal Orb Weaver (Spider)
If you missed a blog post from me yesterday, it was because I was on the road and unable to get a post ready. But as I prepared this post last evening (Sunday), I was serenaded by a young bull elk bugling away (I was in my second floor motel room, with the door open, […]
