I’ve gone on a little hiking trip to use up some PTO days before the end of the year, and to enjoy the milder weather of November. For this journey, I decided to head to South Texas and hit a few state parks that I have never visited, weather permitting. My first state park was… Read More Wildlife Near a Creek
It was my last afternoon in Yellowknife and it was cloudy, misty, and wet outside. I was thinking: “When I am ever going to be Yellowknife again? I need to get out and do something.” I found the Prelude Lake Natural Trail on the map and it was not too far away, promised a nice… Read More Slippery Hike at Prelude Lake
I reserved a day-pass for Colorado Bend State Park for Sunday morning and planned to get out there early before it got too hot. For some reason I was wide awake by 4:30AM on Sunday morning, and decided that I might as well get an early start as it is an hour and half’s drive… Read More Wildlife Hike
I’m in the mid-summer photographic doldrums, but on most days I carry my small camera and a lens around on my walks through the city park near my house. I do often see wildlife out there that might be fun to shoot. In one corner of the park I walk by a patch of sunflowers… Read More Find the Goldfinch

A couple of weeks ago I spent an afternoon hiking around Colorado Bend State Park and am just getting to my photos. It had been raining quite a bit and I was hoping that Gorman Falls would really be flowing. So, my first hike was down to the falls. The hike from the parking area… Read More Afternoon at Colorado Bend State Park
My last stop in Patagonia was Punta Arenas in Chile. After a quick flight across the strait the afternoon before, we checked in to a nice old hotel and I woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the Strait of Magellan. At breakfast I could see the sky developing and went to the balcony on… Read More Punta Arenas
There is a king penguin colony on Tierra del Fuego and I got to visit it when I was there. Apparently, king penguins showed up on this shoreline a little over tens years ago and began returning to nest. Initially, when people came to see the penguins they got too close to them and scared… Read More Penguins on a Useless Bay
I recently purchased a teleconverter for which I have been saving up. I plan to undertake a photography expedition in spring that will involve landscapes and potentially a lot of wildlife and I have been trying to up my wildlife game in preparation. Shooting wildlife photos is quite a different skillset and equipment set compared… Read More Why Would I Need a Teleconverter?
On Monday morning I awoke in my frozen tent about half an hour before sunrise. I climbed out from under my pile of blankets, put on my coat, gloves, hat, boots; grabbed my camera backpack and headed up the South Prong Trail. I wasn’t sure what I was going to find, there were no clouds… Read More Hiking with Bison
