We spent quite a bit of time watching this good looking guy hunting for insects on a rock in the forest and waiting patiently for him to move into a very small patch of waning light to snap a few photos. He finally came out into the light and when there held a nice pose for a few seconds while checking us out before resuming his hunting in the shadows.
Awhile back we spent the morning trying to photograph a large group of swallows feeding on a pond. They were buzzing back and forth and getting good shots was quite a chore. Although nothing in this photo is in perfect focus it really represents the feel of being in that large group of feeding swallows trying to get a photo.
Although they are the most numerous of the ducks I encounter I am always enamored by the Mallards. Wearing his finest breeding colors this guy was putting on quite a display.
It’s been very windy here in Colorado the last few days so a nice tranquil sunset feels like a needed contrast. Setting sun over calm water captured with Holga Pinhole camera a few years back.
Slowly into the sea or so it seems. West coast of Vancouver Island on a foggy morning.
Wouldn’t it be great if we had eyes in the back of our heads. While watching the sunrise one morning in Belize I turned around to find the clouds behind me glowing pink and the water smooth as glass. Photographed with a Zero Image pinhole camera and Kodak Ektar film on Glovers Atoll in Belize.

Not the drink and the photo does have a little white….. but what the heck. The earth demonstrating once again it is alive and in the dead of winter makes a beautiful sight. Photographed in Yellowstone National Park.
Torn between photography and crawling into a warm sleeping bag after a long days hike I took this shot around midnight last summer on a misty evening in East Greenland.
After three very cold days there is very little open water around for the ducks. However, this group of hooded mergansers found a patch and seem to be enjoying the late afternoon sun on a very cold day.
