Galveston – March 2014
Galveston is a barrier island off the coast of Texas, south of Houston. The old architecture and abundant birdlife make wonderful photographic subjects.
Rockport Texas – February 2014
Here are images from the Houston Camera Club's annual field trip to Rockport Texas. This year we were lucky enough to be there for a beautiful full moon.
Legacy sSs Ranch – February 2014
Thanks so much to Lou Shields, owner and operator of Legacy sSs Ranch in Brenham Texas, for letting me photograph her wonderful Texas Longhorn. Although these animals are huge, they are very gentle. For some of these shots I was using a fisheye lens, and on more...
West Coast Christmas 2013
This Christmas we spent time with family on the West Coast of Vancouver Island and also spent a few days in Vancouver. What a beautiful location. Sometimes we take for granted all that is around us. British Columbia is one of the most incredible places on earth!
Palm Springs Hummingbirds – November 2013
While spending time in Palm Springs, I photographed these busy hummingbirds at dusk. There were so many of them trying to get their last feeding of the day. They were like a swarm of bees!
Vancouver Fall – Oct 2013
This fall I returned to Vancouver to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with family. The weather was fantastic. The days were cold and crisp and many mornings I awoke to fog. This was the first time in a long time that I can remember the leaves turning wonderful fall...

I spent the second week of August exploring Big Bend National Park in west Texas. Although it was hot, we had a great time and saw some incredible scenery. One of my favourite parts of the trip was photographing the Milky Way. The park is extremely dark, and the night...

While visiting San Antonio last weekend, we visited the San Jose Mission and the LBJ Ranch. The first photo was a case of being in the right place at the right time. I was envisioning a black and white image of these arches when a bride on a photo shoot walked through...
Silhouette at YVR – June 2013
I have been visualizing a silhouetted image like this for some time. While heading back to Houston from YVR I got my opportunity, although very brief. This image is taken with a Canon S95 point and shoot. Not longer after I sat down, this your girl and her mother sat...
Galveston Island – May 2013
In early May I got to spend another day with Greg Lavity during the spring migration. We had a super day down in Galveston. The highlight of the day was watching the courtship of two white-tailed kites. As a courting gift the male caught a mouse and gave it to the...
Spring Migration – April 2013
In April my daughters and I visited Galveston, High Island and Piny Woods in East Texas with Greg Lavity. The spring migration was in full swing and we saw over 130 species in three days. Thanks again to Greg for his invaluable birding talents.
FeatherFest – April 2013
I spent two days down at FeatherFest in Galveston last week. FeatherFest is one of the largest birding festivals in Texas, and the only one with a dedicated nature photography track. I had a wonderful time taking a couple of lecture sessions and three photo field...
