Here’s the thing. There is so much happening in the world. Too much. We are all on overload. We want to stay informed but wee are bombarded with news. Most of which is bad. There is little traction for good news. Which, we desperately need. Many of us want to do our part to make this world a better place. But it is hard to feel like we can make a difference…. Read More

Wow. Photographing fungus. Gotta say of all the ways I imagined photography taking me I definitely did not see this coming. How did this happen to me. Fungus are interesting parts of nature. And the ones that colonize trees really catch my eye.

I love to photograph water. Particularly bodies of water in landscapes. More specifically water that moves through a landscape. It doesn’t have to be a huge flowing river, or a massive waterfall. Even a small trickle over some rocks can draw my attention. And the more opportunities for different photos there are the better. This is why creeks and streams are so amazing. They are abundant. And the landscapes around them can… Read More

There are uncountable different types of insects in the world. If I wrote a post about every single type of insect I have photographed we could be here a while. That is if I could even identify what type of insect it was or if it was different from something else I have photographed before. So instead I created a few broad categories to write about separately. Insects that are easily identifiable… Read More

This is like a chicken or the egg problem for which came first in my photography. Photographing flowers or photographing insects. I enjoy both these days and have for a while. When photographing flowers it is inevitable that you would notice more and more insects the longer you looked. So I suspect that my initial interest was in the flowers. And then upon discovering the insects I turned my lens there next…. Read More

I am fortunate to live in an area rich in natural beauty. So many great public lands available to access and enjoy all year long. Some of my favorite beautiful state parks are under an hours drive away. How much more could you ask for. Well, you could ask for a state park that takes those beautiful close to home state parks and scales them up to the next level. And that… Read More

I often like to spend time photogrpahing things that might be considered ordanary. Parts of life that seem mundane. Something that is just normal. Take that thing and shine a light on it. Stop and look more closely. See it for what it is. Don’t just ignore it. This is what I think of when I think of the often Maligned Whited Tailed Deer.

Hiking and Trail running are two of my favorite activities. I love getting outside in nature. At a faster or slower pace with or without a camera I always enjoy time on hiking trails. There are many different places where you can access hiking trails: Local nature centers, Land preserves, state forests, Wildlife management areas, State parks and local parks to name a few. But some trails consist of a large variety… Read More

I have had fun hiking up several mountains over the years. Usually one of the best things about hiking up a mountain is the outstanding views of the surrounding area. Although I have climbed my fair share of mountains that did not have much if any view. But today I am here to talk about my favorite view. Hiking out to scenic views can be very rewarding. Sometimes it takes a lot… Read More

Who doesn’t love a beautiful sunset? Thinking about sunsets makes me think how incredible of a natural phenomenon it actually is. Sunset happens every day. Every single day. It is kind of simple and yet amazing. There is a possibility that you will get to witness a beautiful sunset 365 days a year. And on top of that you don’t even necessarily have to go anywhere. You can sit at home and… Read More
