I love it when I get an opportunity to photograph some mammals in the wild. Common Muskrats are cool little creatures. I most often see them swimming in various boddies of water. It definitely seems like you can see a Common Muskrat anyplace there is water. Having the opportunity to see a Common Muskrat on land and photograph it was nice. I love the reflection of the Muskrat in the water. Photo… Read More
Waterfalls are always nice subjects for photography. It is even more interesting when you can photograph them in different ways. One way to see waterfalls in a different form is to go see them during the colder months if you can. Watching how waterfalls transform as they begin to freeze when temperatures drop is so interesting. There are opportunities to capture all sorts of unique images. The water flow changes and ice… Read More

We love to try to grow plants all around our home. The plant we have added to our yard which has grown most strongly has been this flowering cherry tree. I don’t even know how long this tree has been growing outside out house now. It has grown large and it has grown strong. This means every year if nothing else I have an opportunity to try my hand at creating new… Read More
I am really fascinated by the Northern Catalpa tree. I am currently trying to grown one in my backyard, but our dog Colton keeps eating it. The large size and interesting shape of the blossoms on the tree are visually appealing. The mostly white flower blossoms are punctuated by yellow and red patterns leading into the center of the flower blossom. Another cool feature of the Northern Catalpa is its size. Many… Read More

It all depends on what time of year you show up. I try to… Read More
There are a few of our local parks that I visit pretty regularly. One of my frequently visited spots is Sperr Park. I love it here any time of year, but the spring is particularly beautiful. The flowers planted here are starting to bloom and these beautiful flowering trees are in full bloom. These trees are bright and majestic. I love them. There don’t seem to be many places I have come… Read More
Flowers are always beautiful. Flowering trees have a special allure to them. And even more fantastical are wild growing flowering trees. Wild Dogwood Trees are among my favorite plants. I appreciate every opportunity I have to photograph their beautiful blossoms. The flowers don’t last very long after they emerge in early spring. I am fortunate enough to have some that grow right near my house, but I am always excited to be… Read More
I love apples. I eat them regularly. They are a staple of my diet. And they are delicious. It is always fun to get out and see apples before they hit any store shelves. They are a beautiful part of nature. Going out and picking apples is a fun way to get some exercise, enjoy nature, and choose your own delicious food. Photo details: Nikon D500. Nikon 60mm f/2.8. Focal length 60mm…. Read More
Sometimes I get the idea to try and do something well outside my normal style of photogrpahy. During the holiday season of 2021 I decided to try and do something interesting with lights. Holiday decorations were all about. I decided to see what I could do. Placed lights outside on the ground to illuminate the main subject, the tree. Then I triggered the camera for a 30 second exposure. And I walked… Read More
