Out-Of-This-World Experience
Today’s post begins what will be a multiple-post series, from the “Great American Total Solar Eclipse of 2024” adventure I experienced on Monday, April 08.

Pretty in Blue

I visited a good friend for several days and we made our way to several gardens/museums around the big city. While visiting the Botanical Gardens, we spent most of our time in the tropical-controlled Climatron … much […]
Coyote On the Move
Today’s post features a previously unpublished photo that I captured in December 2005. While hiking around the Amarugia Highlands CA in Cass County, Missouri, this coyote bolted out of the treeline and ran across the frosty trail: Photographic Equipment Used: Canon 1D Mark 2 camera body Canon 100mm-400mm, f/4.5-f/5.6 IS lens Handheld, with IS “On” […]
