Welcome to nature has no boss the photography and thought blog of Michael Bizeau and Christine Schultheis.

We are inspired by nature and that which happens of its own accord and view “nature” not as a thing or a place but as a process we are all a part of. We hope you enjoy the images we present here and you can take some time to look around and become inspired by the wonderful planet we live on.

“When you have seen one ant, one bird, one tree, you have not seen them all.”

  3. Hi Mike, thanks for liking ‘Missing’ and certainly glad to know of your site! Lovely photography! Do you know of the Int’l League of Conservation Photographers (I’m a fellow of the related ILCWriters, but many friends are in the ILCP…)? Seems much of your work might also be of good ‘use’ there as well! So glad you connected! Stay in touch!

    1. Hi Elizabeth, thank for the feedback it is always appreciated. I have heard of the ILCP and assumed that membership there was for more professional photographers however I could be wrong. Does the ILCwriters have a website? Thanks again for returning the favor to check out my photos and have a great day.

    1. Thanks for returning the favor. I like you articles on the Maldives and your recent turtle post. We recently saw a hawksbill turtle while snorkeling in Belize and it was a magnificent sight. I am not accomplished in underwater photography so I loved your photos.

    1. Thanks for the feedback, I look forward to see your images and hearing the stories behind them. The white-tailed sea eagle is a majestic bird and in the landscaped around Loften must have been quite a sight. I would sure like spend some time there in the future kayaking in the islands.

  19. You travel all over the place . . . and take very interesting photos.

    . . . and a fellow Coloradonianite to boot.

    Question about Yellowstone . . . do you hike in during the winter, or take tours?

    1. Thanks for the feedback it is appreciated. We usually stay in the snow lodge when visiting the old faithful area in the winter arriving by snow coach but spend the days cross country skiing on our own. We also go out on our won from the car on day trip on skis from other areas of the park. I would love to visit the canyon area in the winter but have yet to do so. Hope you are enjoying the wonderful weather we are having in CO this weekend.

      1. I’ll have to look into that. My wife is not too keen on heading out in adverse weather.

        No cross-country for us, but we might snowshoe – although that probably limits the range.

        The weather is not bad where we are; some snow on the ground, but sunny and relatively warm.

        1. Do look into it as the peace and quiet in the winter is not to be missed. Snowshoeing works great and there are tours daily both guided and ones in which you can ride in the coach one-way and return on the trails back to the lodge. Anyway thanks for checking out the blog and best wishes.

  38. Your photos show me how fantastically beautiful this world is- when things go right. Here in Australia there are too many droughts and floods and fires just at the moment. Then we will wait and see that nature might not have a boss but she sure gets stuck into hard work when its time. Love your stuff.

  40. Mike and Christine, thanks for taking a look at the Hammer Home Street Photography Project.

    Nice work here. Are you familiar with the wildlife paintings of Robert Bateman? Some of your wildlife and landscape photography reminds me of his concept sktches.

    1. Thanks we are indeed familiar with Bateman’s paintings and enjoy them very much and comparing our photographs to his sketches is quite a compliment. Street photography is something I enjoy looking at but have yet to accomplish, although I give it a try every know and then but being a tall guy with a camera I tend to stand out and just feel funny. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback as it is much appreciated.

  45. Hey, Mike, great blog. I wanted to leave a comment on the Spring post, but tried three times, and it would not accept it. I think, maybe, it is my computer. So, I’ll try to leave it here (my comment about “Spring”). Oh-Man. This your image on this post? Incredible. I really like it when we get a little snow / a dusting right there in that transition from winter into spring. I like your blog. I’ve been convinced by my heart and soul to follow “Nature Has No Boss”. Thank you, by the way for stopping by to visit my blog Wilder Man On Rolling Creek. Peace, T
