“We’re Swimming, We’re Swimming…”

  Another from my series of images of Pacific White-sided Dolphins,  Lagenorhynchus obliquidens, swimming and traveling with us in British Columbia. The water was so clear you could see them under the...

Now that feels good!

    On my photo tour to photograph bears, one foggy morning we drove out to the mouth of the river to see if any bears were fishing. We found this one, but it was tired and lay down on the sand in...

Puffins!

    My photo tour group  in Lake Clark National Park this past July was such fun, and they were all really good photographers. We were there mostly for the bears, so the horned puffins (Fratercula...

Dreaming of Alaska – again

I’ll admit it. I have a strong wanderlust. My list of ‘I wanna go there’ places is too long to even begin to write down – and when it comes times to choose where I might go each year, it’s darn hard to...

Touring Namibia

  We’re having a grand time in Namibia! Today, we photographed all day at Kolmanskop, the old mining town that is being buried by sand. What an amazing place. There is such an aura there, of lives...

The Cutest Grizzly Bears

    “Mom? What are those things on two feet back there? They have HUGE glassy eyes pointed at me. There are at least 8 eyes. I’m not sure about this, can I hide behind you?” OK, so we’re not supposed...

Serene Swimming

I’ve been editing my library of images and came across this beautiful scene of a family of Orcas. It was the end of the day and the water was quite, providing great reflections. It was such a peaceful...

The Power of a Low Angle

  “GOT IT” I’ve posted similar bear pictures on Facebook, but that led me to consider this post for today. Almost everyone we encountered in the field photographing bears at my recent bear photo tour...

The Power of Gesture

  I know we’re not supposed to anthropomorphize wildlife, but how can you not when they do things that are so, well, human-like? Or at least what we think of as human-like, anyway. I couldn’t help...

Photography Year-in-Review

The end of the year is always one of reflection for many of us, and of course media and tradition hold that we make resolutions for the coming year. But the only resolution I make is to live a fuller,...

Migrations

  After I left Yosemite in a winter’s dream, I headed for the central valley refuges where I like to observe and photograph the migrating geese and cranes. It wasn’t the best weather the first...

Which do you like?

A.   B. I am finally getting through most of the images from Winter in Yosemite (my oh-too-brief trip) and my wildlife refuge images. In a previous post I had shown a foggy scene of birds, and I have...

Gesture and Reflection = Magic

  My trip to the bird refuge in January produced some favorite images of 2016 so far. The day began with a lot of clouds, then a slight clearing and a rainbow, then back to clouds for some time, and as...

The Birds

    If you didn’t like Alfred Hitchcock’s movie “The Birds” then you might not like some of the experiences in the wildlife refuges!! When the birds lift off and fly over your head, the sky darkens...

House Finches in Flight

  They say practice makes perfect, but in this case, I think I simply got lucky!! I was practicing, however, over and over again, to capture these house finches as they skirmished in the air. A nearby...
