Hatteras 2010
Awesome week on Hatteras Island. 71 species of birds, long walks on the beach, visits to Bodie Lighthouse, Pea Island and Little Kinnakeet. I’ve combined some images and video shot with a Canon 5D. Sorry for the length…I tried hard to delete stuff down to a...
Going Back to Cape Hatteras
Tina and I are off to Cape Hatteras for a week with my folks. We were talking about the last time we visited the Outer Banks and realized that it has been 5 years. In 2005, Jeff was in the Army, Zander was 1 and walking and I had blond hair from a bike...
Beautiful Family
Last night, Phaedra asked me to shoot a couple of images of their family. Getting the kids to sit still and smile was a challenge, but we did succeed in getting a couple of really fun shots. Agree?
Life Bird: Townsend’s Solitaire
One of the joys of birding (and there are many), is seeing a bird for the first time. Today was one of those moments. Reports of a Townsend's Solitaire in the area surfaced about a week ago and one of my good birding friends called yesterday to say that...
1st Snow of the Season
Today we rec’d our 1st snow of the season. This made for a good day to stay in and install the new hard drive, but after watching Rory look out of the window in wonder, we decided to spend a few minutes outdoors with her. She got to eat her first snowball,...
American Wigeon
A small flock of American Wigeon showed up today in one of our resident ponds. The warm southern breezes have a lot of birds sticking around longer than usual I presume. Even saw a pair of Wood Ducks today.
Christy Wilson Photography
CWP is off and running full steam. Jeff and Christy have a family photo shoot Thursday here in town and then over 20 appointments in Rochester, MN at a dog grooming salon on the weekend. They also just signed up for the largest AKC Dog Show in the Midwest in...
Goshawk in the Yard
Sunday afternoon, I had an unusual experience. While walking the dog in Crepeau Park, I cam across a young man wearing a single Falconer’s glove and whistling up to the trees. Turns out is name is Jeff Redig, son of Pat Redig, founder of the Raptor Center,...
Playing with Backgrounds
I find myself looking at outdoor scenes differently these days. Everything is a possible location for a photo shoot. Last week, Tina and I were walking on the grounds of a resort ‘up north’, and came across this old barn/garage. Later in the day, we...
Daughter-in-laws
I post lots of pictures; birds, landscapes, grandkids, etc… but I seldom publish images of two of the individuals that make my life complete. Besides giving birth to wonderful grandkids, these two ladies keep a lot of plates spinning with raising children,...
