  • Grackle — Long-Tailed Grackle?

    Grackle — Long-Tailed Grackle?

    This is a common bird, or so it seems to me, in the Austin area. They make quite a bit of noise, and gather in large groups at times, which might be part of why I tend to notice them.

  • White-Winged Dove?

    White-Winged Dove?

    I was not sure if this bird was new-to-me, or different from others I had already photographed as I walked around the grounds of the State Capitol in Austin, but I typically shoot first so I can ask questions later. This is a case where I was glad I did… I had half -expected it…

  • State Capitol Building in Austin, Texas

    State Capitol Building in Austin, Texas

    I was in the area, and had a few minutes, so I decided to snap a picture at the State Capitol. I see it in the distance so often, but rarely make the time to stop by and just walk the grounds or visit.

    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…

    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…
