Each area of Yellowstone National Park is so disparate from the other that I often feel like I’ve been teleporting between different lands. Traveling from the Mammoth area to Lamar Valley takes me through an ever changing landscape. By the time I’m in Lamar Valley, I feel like I’ve entered the Land Of The Lost, … More Lamar Valley
I’m not sure there are many things cuter than a baby black bear…except maybe three baby black bears. Yellowstone National Park.
My trip to Colorado, Montana and Wyoming was a whirlwind of travel, photography and amazing animal encounters. I didn’t manage to photograph every encounter, like the wolf the we followed as it trotted down the road in the light of our headlights, then turned around to stand 10 feet from the vehicle window before melting … More Fearless Red Dogs
I’ve been thinking a lot about my favorite places recently and its no surprise that they are all places that would not exist if it weren’t for conservation efforts. One place that I return to again and again is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. When I first started exploring further than my … More Happy Earth Day!
Several times when making plans with friends or fellow photographers, I’ve had people dismiss a location or plan because the main attraction was birding and “birding/photographing birds was boring”. I guess I can understand from a certain….well, no…not really. Fact is, I find birds endlessly fascinating. Photographing birds, I get a sense of the ‘character’ … More For The Birds
Spring weather means I’m out and about, making up for winter months spent indoors. A few days ago I spent the day in Delaware: The Grackles are my favorite. The photos online don’t really do them justice, so I’m excited to order some larger prints. It took me a while … More Spring Day in Delaware
Maryland generally has mild winters. We don’t get much snow and it doesn’t stay much below freezing for long. Having had two arctic freezes come through in the past month, Maryland is currently well below freezing, icy and snowy. And what better time to photograph the sunset than during an arctic blast, right? I spent … More Arctic Maryland
Thankfully, I was feeling more myself this morning, which made it much more enjoyable to spend the morning in Rocky Mountain National Park. John and I had originally planned on photographing the sunrise in the park, but we miscalculated when we should leave, so arrived late. Fortunately, the elk rut is in full swing, providing … More Day 21: Elk
The contrast between Yellowstone in spring and Yellowstone in fall is vast. In spring, the wildlife are everywhere- Grizzly, Black Bear, Wolves, Coyote, Fox, Bison, Elk, Mule Deer, Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goats, Pronghorn and all their young. In the fall my photography has to focus on the landscapes. The wildlife are still here, but they arent … More Day 15: Wildlife and On To The Tetons
In the morning we photographed Saint Mary Lake near our campsite. We finally had some nice clouds to work with rather than the haze of the previous days, and a bit more morning color. Standing there, I could turn in any direction and meet another beautiful scape. I did take a very short video with my phone … More Day 12: Many Glaciers
