With things slowing down a bit I have been able to get some work done. I finally have finished editing the photographs taken in Wyoming. Pictures from Devils Tower area as well Yellowstone and the Grand Teton’s. I didn’t have many from the teton’s because I cut the trip short. I even have a few shots from Missouri in there. continue reading…

Tag: photosIn 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.
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.
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… continue reading…
It’s been sometime since I have written anything on the blog or news sections. I had family visit from Washington. I wanted to spend time with them. Family is always good to have around. In this case I had my Sister and her daughter in for a visit. We had a good time. Traveled around a bit. Spent a little time in Springfield at Fantastic Caverns, even payed a visit to the City Market, and Liberty Memorial in Kansas City. The Liberty Memorial is a great museum if you have never been there. I recommend it to anyone visiting Kansas City. I didn’t get much in the way of photographs at Fantastic Caverns, but I will put one from the trip here for viewers sake. The vehicles they use are trailing trailers for everyone to sit in. Not much in the way of comfort but it’s only about a 30 min. ride anyways. You have to worry about the ceiling more then anything. Trying to capture a few photographs while moving and avoiding the low ceiling can be a little difficult. Tight squeezes would be an under statement.
On a recent visit to my first Civil War battle reenactment that took place near Martin City, Missouri, I had a chance to reflect a little while photographing. The reenactment was sponsored by the North/South Alliance, a western theater reenactment organization of the First Federal Division(Union) and the (Confederate) Army of Tennessee. The battle reenacted was the battle of Westport, often referred to as the “Gettysburg of the West”. Now, I didn’t want to write just about the history here. More to the point, I wanted to write about what thoughts that soldier may have been having before they went into battle. Of course none of these individuals were actually ever in a battle during the Civil War, perhaps another War that has been fought by United States maybe. This I didn’t know and gave little thought of.
When it was almost continue reading…
Well, finally I have had sometime to write a little. I have been spending a lot of time taking pictures for stock. Little nature here and their along with a little commercial work on the side to keep business rolling.
I can never seem to stay away long from what I love the most. Photographing nature. The season of spring is probably my most favorite part of year for photographing wildlife. The animals are foraging for food, finding mates, having young. The trees are sprouting new growth while people are about enjoying the spring colors along with the warmer weather and starting to clean their grills for the barbecue they have had planned for awhile. It’s an exciting part of the year. I’m sure you would agree. continue reading…
