Some Galveston Wildlife

I wandered around and tried to take some wildlife photos when in Galveston one evening. I thought the sunset might be nice, so I headed down to the bay side of the island to see what was there. In the muddy flats along the bay were a bunch of Roseate Spoonbills, so I crept over… Read More Some Galveston Wildlife

One For The Birds

This is a bird post. I don’t usually post about birds as I am not a bird photographer and I don’t have the equipment to be much of a bird photographer, but I chanced to catch a red-tailed hawk flying low over the park in the late afternoon sun and I got what I think… Read More One For The Birds

Because They Don’t Know The Words

Hummingbird at Feeder

I have a hummingbird feeder in my backyard and the hummingbirds don’t come around too often, but last night one did and the light was perfect. I could sit in the shade of the house with the setting sun shining on the feeder and bird. I also picked a vantage point such that I would… Read More Because They Don’t Know The Words

More Photography from Home

White Heron in a Neighborhood Pond

As a distraction from staring at this: I have been going outside with my longest lens, 70-200mm f/2.8. A few evenings ago, I sat out back with my computer and noticed that the birds came to the birdbath while I was sitting there. So, the next evening I brought my camera with me to see… Read More More Photography from Home

August Doldrums

reflections at Brushy Creek Park

It’s August and that means it is hot out. Sometimes oppressively hot and I lose some motivation to go out and hike or shoot. I have been trying to make myself get out and do something and try to get some excitement and enjoyment out of shooting pictures. I had a failed attempt hiking at… Read More August Doldrums

Time Lapse of Bird Feeder

I have bird feeders around my house and the birds can really drain the thing quickly in the morning. I thought it would be fun to attempt a time-lapse movie of the birds emptying the bird feeder. I waited until the sun rose over my roof and shone onto the bird feeder for good light… Read More Time Lapse of Bird Feeder

Finally Got a Blue Jay

Blue jay and white wing dove at bird feeder

I haven’t had a lot of time this week to make a big blog for Wednesday, but I have a little something. Last night, I finally saw a Blue Jay at one of my bird feeders, he was in the late afternoon sunlight, and I managed to hide out with my 70-200mm lens and shoot… Read More Finally Got a Blue Jay

Birdhouse on Back Porch

Bird at bird house Texas

There is a little decorative birdhouse on my back porch with a Texas license plate for a roof. It is right next to my back door, so I walk right by it almost every day. A sparrow, I think, decided to make a nest in it. As I sat out there on Sunday afternoon watching… Read More Birdhouse on Back Porch

Birds and Bees

Male House Finch on a Bird Feeder in Leander Texas

A good size population of birds hangs out in my front yard so I put out a bird feeder. It didn’t take them long to jump all over the free birdseed and I have to replenish the feeder every day. The birds won’t go near the feeder if I am nearby, so I set up… Read More Birds and Bees

Cormorants on the Guadalupe

Cormorant Guadalupe River Gruene Texas

I spent some time in Gruene Texas (near New Braunfels) last weekend. Gruene is kind of a touristy place north of San Antonio with a wine and antique theme. It is also common to see tubers floating down the river, but I think it was still a bit cool for that in early March. I… Read More Cormorants on the Guadalupe
