Eastern Swallowtail: Photo of the Day

We took a walk by the lake today. Marcie wanted to take a look at some work the POA had done, and the lake trail seemed like a good place to walk the dog. Since I wasn’t planning on photographing anything my “real camera” got left at home. Make no Read more…

Deer in the Backyard – Photo of the Day

A deer paused to look in my direction as I stood hidden behind the dark screen on the porch. I slowly braced my lens against the open doorway being careful to not expose myself too much and risk the deer running away. The late afternoon light was fading fading fast Read more…

Eastern Towhee – Photo of the Day

Occasionally I take my camera along while I walk the dog. Yesterday was one of those days. It was early enough to still have good light, and birds were still active before the heat of the day drove them into hiding. As we rounded a corner an Eastern Towhee perched Read more…

A Morning at Pickney Island National Wildlife Refuge

It was way back in April when my wife and I visited Pickney Island National Wildlife Refuge at Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Reorganized and Ready to Move On and an Alligator

This is one of the images I have been working on the last couple weeks, and partially the reason I haven’t taken my own advice from my last post to write more regularly. I had very good intentions on being a more regular poster. All that did was add more Read more…

Blue Heron in My Backyard
