Where Nature is Art
Where Nature is Art
A destination can be days away or right outside your window. My photography takes me to another state of mind and I find I like to travel with only my camera and binoculars. Traveling in search of something new although the subject may be familiar.

Where Nature is Art
Whether on the water, in flight, or perching, there is always something new to capture even with the most common of them.
From the shore to the tallest mountains, the land changes as you pass through and as the light changes.
The beauty of the flora is all around us. At times, nature is overlooked as if it was background noise. If you take the time to stop and see. Respect of nature will follow.
Amphibians, ocean and land mammals, and snakes. The diversity of life on our planets is dominated by one. We must do what we must to protect it.
Insects can be what B monster movies are made of but I find then fascinating on a small scale.
Water, land, and sky. Predators and prey.

Always looking for that new bird whether it's a raptor, songbird, or shorebird each one is my favorite when I photograph them.

California is one diverse state and allows you take in a sunrise at the coast and be in some the the most rugged landscapes you can think of. Worth the down falls the people create.

It's fair to say when you go out and walk in the woods or on a beach, life is all around in the plants and animals. We take it all for granted thinking there is so many until they are gone like the passenger pigeon.

Happy New Year. Here are some of my favorite images take over 2023. I really like the image below of an American Kestrel looking back at me. He was perched on a light post with under a mostly sunny sky so I could us a shutter speed of 1/1000s, an f/9.0, and ISO400. Some birds will let you get close and others will not like Warblers. I was able to get within 10m and just sat there looking at the lake and me.
