    Recent Sunset among the clouds…

    Sunset is always magic, there are some who call the time around Sunset and Sunrise Magic Hour, while others call it Golden Hour – in part for the beautiful, golden colors that fill the sky and dance among the clouds. Whatever you call that time of day, I hope you find some beauty in it,…

    A Bird with a view…

    Just taking a zen moment on a rough day to watch a bird watch the sun set.

    I’ve tried to add a Subscribe Button… Get an email when I post!

    Amazingly enough, multiple people have said they’d like to know when new pictures go up, so today I tried to add a Subscribe Button that should appear at the bottom of each post — fingers crossed. 

  • Seen around town

    Seen around town

    It seems our flowering trees are having a beautiful season this year.  I honestly can’t get enough of them.

    Let your mind take a moment of rest from the stress of life, and traffic…

    Stopped at a traffic light today this handsome bird took a rest nearby. The light, and his pose, came together to make a striking photo. And a really nice distraction from traffic and a long light. It feels like a lot of times, when I want to snap a pic of a bird, they are…

    The Determination and Beauty of Wildflowers…

    Growing up I had in my life two marvelous elders who could name any, and every, flower they saw, or so it seemed to me. Over the decades I’ve spent a lot of time appreciating the wonder and beauty of flowers.  And there was a time when I would take pictures of eye catching flowers…

    Sunset – love a bird’s eye view up among the clouds…

    Sometimes I think we take parts of our modern lives for granted.  It is easy to forget my Grandparents grew up in an age of horses pulling wagons, that air travel was new in their professional lives. My parents recall the day Man first walked on the moon… while I recall our house getting our…

    Open yourself to the unexpected and be amazed by what you see…

    This weekend I took a scenic detour.  I was hoping to see some wildflowers, and I guess I wasn’t the only one.  Some birds were flitting around, having fun.  Then one took a rest, in the perfect place for me to try and snap a few shots. I love trying to get pictures of birds…

    Nanortalik, Greenland – a view from the harbor…

    I love so many aspects of this photograph. From the moody sky, to the lone person standing on a small craft in the water. For me, the only thing that would have made the shot better is if it was of the ship I was sailing on, as opposed to being taken from my ship,…

  • Flowers, the world over…

    Flowers, the world over…

    My Grandmother was an avid gardener. From my perspective, she could name/ recognize every flower she saw. It was a passion of hers, she grew them, and appreciated them. When my Grandparents gifted me several boxes filled with decades of family photos, I found within dozens of pictures of random flowers. In my heart, I…

  • Blue Bonnet season in Texas is fading

    Blue Bonnet season in Texas is fading

    When I photographed this lone Blue Bonnet I referred to it as lonely. A cousin quipped, “ lonely but strong.” It’s a wonderful caption for a photo that captures one of my favorite aspects of Spring in Texas, the wildflowers. Whether it is a field or just a few lone flowers. Along the side of…

  • 2024 Solar Eclipse

    2024 Solar Eclipse

    The April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse was the first time I tried taking pictures of an eclipse. I confess, I am happy with some of the shots I got. I ordered a cardboard looking filter, and pulled out a camera I retired (read replaced) last year, so if I made any mistakes and damaged the…

    After years of wandering with cameras, my photography is trying to find a home…

    For decades a camera has been one of the first, and most important things I have packed for any trip. In this age of the Internet and technology I’ve been searching for a “good” way to share the best of my photos, and hopefully I’m on the path to finding an answer, and this is…

  • A glacier in Prince Christian Sound

    A glacier in Prince Christian Sound

    It feels like each time I sail Prince Christian Sound I see something different, and am amazed by the beauty and magic of this special place all over again — part of that comes from the many moods of the clouds, the colors of the water, and the peaceful / tranquil setting that seems to…

  • Prince Christian Sound 2023

    Prince Christian Sound 2023

    In some respects this is a post that needs no text, the pictures can truly speak for themselves about the beauty and wonder of the waterfalls within Prince Christian Sound.

    Attempting to photograph the moon…

    After reading an online article that suggested photographing the moon when it is NOT full leads to more interesting photographs where the creators and 3D of it is more likely to be visible, I decided to give it a whirl. Keeping the moon in the frame can be a challenge… but it sure is fun…
