In that last post I talked about the photographic opportunities in the local parks of Florida.  My next visit would be the pursuit of the Bald Eagles in Washington State.

First let me say, it’s really not difficult to find Bald Eagles to photograph.   You can even find them in Florida.  You just have to know where to look.  You ask why Bald Eagles.  Well, I have always loved this graceful and majestic bird.  They just seem to fly with ease.  There feathers on the end of their wings curl as they pump their wings for lift. You know when your in their presence when they speak.  It’s a distinctive sound.  Their fiscal appearance demands your attention.  On top of all that it’s the national bird of the United States, so why not.

Well, I said there would be second post on the Florida Opportunities subject. I’m keeping my promise. So let me start.

In the prior post I stated that I searched for a couple hours for the wildlife in the parks. There are more then a few in Florida. Some you have to pay and others you do not. You can guess that ones you have to pay to get in would have plenty of wildlife to photograph. That’s not always the case. I have payed plenty to photograph the animals in Sea World and have come out with very little quality shots. That’s not to say that you can’t get some good shots, but you don’t get the type of shots that say wildlife. You get the shots that say wildlife in captivity. Read more »

Hey Everyone,

Well, I’m back from the west coast. Actually I have been back for sometime, I just haven’t been able to get around to writing anything in the blog. I truly apologize for that. Even know I have been back for sometime I have been working pretty hard catching up with business, editing and analyzing all the pictures that I took from Florida and Washington. I have plenty of new photos up on the website. More on that a little later.

Well, I have managed to make it back from my trip to Florida.   Spent some time photographing birds mostly. It sure is beautiful down there this time of year.  I didn’t have much time to photograph being that I was really down there for business photographing a wedding.  I normally don’t travel such distances to photograph weddings, but this happen to be a special occasion.   My niece was getting married and I told her that I would shoot her wedding.   

What time I did have to myself I managed to check out the all famous Gatorland USA as well as take in a few shows at Sea World.  I took a few pictures here and there.   More pictures at Gatorland USA rookery were taken then anywhere else.  Here is there link if you get a chance to visit. http://www.gatorland.com The best times to visit are April to March.   Read more »

Well, for weeks I have been trying to get up to Squaw Creek with little success. Finally I made up there this last Monday. I planned on arriving before sunrises. I looked on the internet to find out what time the sun would be showing itself in the morning and I set my alarm clock. I managed to wake up in plenty of time. I actually woke up before the alarm even went off.  I’m not much for morning person, but when it comes to photographing.  It doesn’t take much and I’m out the door.  I looked at the weather the night before and I new a storm was going to be rolling in. I just hoped that it would arrive later rather then sooner. So with that in mind I was set to go. I drove the 100 miles to arrive just before sunrise.  Read more »

It’s all welcomed as long as it’s not mean spirited or pertains to porn, spam etc.   If we can get something going that would benefit whoever would visit the site.  Who knows, expanding the blog into a forum could be the next step. Any takers?

Everyone hates spam.  It’s bad enough that we have to deal with it in the snail mail along with email, plus the obnoxious pop up adds on websites.  Yes, I know.  They have browser that have popup blockers.  The crazy addvertising people always find a way to circumvent the technology though. It’s only a matter of time.  So, welcome and I look forward to reading what you have to say.

Take care.

With Thanksgiving out of the way. Everyone is in the Christmas mode it seems.   I personally am not sure that I am ready for Christmas.  Of course it’s a wonderful holiday and I enjoy it every year. However it is rough on some. I think this holiday season will be rougher this year then in the past for many. I can’t imagine what the days would be like if you didn’t have family around to toss a few cookies at, perhaps a hug or two. That being said, I hope everyone who has the means will visit with family and have a wonderful Christmas.

On with a little news… Read more »

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to post something short here. Much has changed on the website. A complete redesign of the back end. The cart itself has changed the most. If you click on the “Online Store“, you will notice the change there. Take a look around. Slide shows and different options are available to everyone.

Leaving you with that tid bit of info. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. I’m sure most of us are wishing the retail stores and business were not in such a rush to get to Christmas. It’s seems they want to skip Thanksgiving all together. It’s a bit sad really. Anyways, have a good one. Here is a little something to look at.

Leafs of Fall

Well, it’s that time of year again.  The leafs are falling, changing colors from green to colors of red, yellow and brown.  I love this time of year.  I planned on photographing this seasons colors at Squaw Creek.  Somehow I just didn’t get the time.  To many projects going and not enough time in the day to accomplish them all.  As I have mention before in earlier post I have been working on a book.  It’s finally done and currently being printed.  I also have plans to have it available for purchase in book form and in Portable Document Form (PDF). The pdf will hopefully be available next month for download.  Currently in the works is a Calendar for the 2009 year.   That will be available for purchase as well.   

Now I did manage to take a few beautiful shots this season.  So be sure to check those out in the Studio Section  http://www.crphotocare.com/photocart/index.php?category=101.  For this Christmas season order anything over $100 and shipping is free.  Take a look around there might be something you would love to have.   Limited signed editions, framing with select designs are available.  

For now, enjoy a recent image from this years shoots.
