Bathing Eagle (Mad Bird)
We visited the World Bird Sanctuary near Valley Park, MO this weekend. While there were many opportunities to photograph the birds there, this series of an eagle bathing in one of their enclosures is a favorite.

Fourth Cliff – October 2015
During our recent vacation we stayed at Fourth Cliff Recreation Area. It is a military recreation area with cabins and a limited number of RV sites managed by Hanscom Air Force Base and is located near Scituate, about midway between Boston and Cape Cod. These are some images of the Recreation Area. We look forward to visiting again sometime in the future.

Great Blue Heron
A couple of weeks ago my favorite lady, Connie, and I were at one of our local parks to get some images of a small waterfall and other landscapes. While we were walking along the lake shore we came across this guy. Unlike most herons that I have seen he was intent on finding dinner and seemed totally uninterested in us which allowed us to approach closely and capture a large number of images. The first three in the set […]

Spring ????, posted 2014-04-14
The robin, the blooming trees, the raindrops on fallen petals and the green grass all say that Spring is in the Air. But the weatherman seems to disagree – 37 degrees at 8:00 PM and snow on April 14 in St. Louis. Are you kidding me??????????
