I was driving out by the lake with my camera looking for birds. I pulled over to the side of the road next to the lake and hopped to see if there were any birds and I didn’t see any on the water, but I looked up and saw an osprey and quickly started shooting.… Read More Ospreys Carrying Things
It’s December and you know what that means – it is sorta like fall here for a couple of weeks. Anyway, I went to the lake to shoot wildlife but they have had the park open for deer hunting during the week and all the deer were either hiding or in someone’s freezer. So, I… Read More Fall
I went to the fish hatchery Sunday morning to practice wildlife photography. The Inks Dam National Fish Hatchery is run by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and is open to the public. I was worried that it might be closed due to the current situation of extreme incompetence of our Congress, but the gates… Read More Six Birds
Another sunrise at the wildlife refuge. And another sunrise without much in the way of clouds. It’s a pretty good hike up to this location but it is my favorite location for dawn. Half the time I wake up well before 5:30 AM anyway (thank you recent development of insomnia), so there was not much… Read More Sunrise and Stumps
Lately I have been thinking about making a personal project out of shooting deer at Inks Lake State Park. There are a lot of deer there and I usually see them at dusk when I am hiking back to my truck, but not during the daytime hours. There are also a few deer blinds that… Read More My Deer Friends
Just went to the fish hatchery to shoot photos of birds. Usually plenty of geese and ducks around. The Canada Geese are more tolerant of a photographer than most of the ducks, so they get to be the stars of the photoshoot. I don’t have a lot of interesting photographic techniques to talk about here,… Read More Just some Geese

Balanced Rock sits at the end of the one-mile long Grapevine Hills trail and is a popular hiking destination. I have had photographic aspirations for this feature as it overlooks the desert to the… Read More The Grapevine Hills
I took these photos a couple of weeks ago and I like them but I wasn’t really sure what to say about them. These are photos from an outing that I made to the national fish hatchery close by. There are many ponds that attract all sorts of different birds. I went out there to… Read More When To Use A Teleconverter
On my trip down to Aransas National Wildlife Refuge I took photos of so many different species of birds, I decided to break it into two blog posts to cover the highlights. In the previous post, I covered several birds that I saw at the refuge, but I also saw many around the town of… Read More Gone Birding, Part 2
Friday afternoon was cloudy and I didn’t have work, so I wandered down to a city park to see if there were any birds to shoot. There is a pond that is getting a bit low on water, but it usually attracts a lot of ducks. When I got to the park bench I found… Read More Urban Wildlife
