Birthday Celebration in Moscow

My travels in 2018 landed me in Moscow on my birthday. The General Manager at the hotel where I was staying was paying close attention to my personal details and took the time to recognize the special day. This is the way I remember the Russian people. This is the way I want to remember Russia. My heart breaks for what has happened since knowing I’ll never go back and for all of those who have…

Found this amazing creature at the Batu Caves in Malaysia.

While walking around downtown Detroit, I came across a bed of beautiful Black-Eyed Susans. I thought for a moment about how to capture their beauty in the middle of this cityscape. Sometimes you just have to get low and look up to get a different perspective.

Bridges Connect the World

While spending some time in Detroit, I had an evening to go out and take a few photos. It happened to be the night of a full moon. Featured is the Ambassador Bridge connecting the US with Canada.

Sometimes a trip to the zoo is just what a photographer needs. This was taken at the San Diego Zoo Butterfly Exhibit. I could have stayed here for hours trying to capture the beauty of these creatures. At least I got one really good shot.

Caught this image while on a boat heading out to Alcatraz. I can’t wait to go back to San Francisco just to take pictures. So many amazing sites to see.

Even the most common of birds can be a lot of fun to capture. Especially when they sit still in a beautiful location such as the San Francisco Bay.

Always kiss me goodnight

Are you looking at me?

Just hanging out in the park making friends.

Is anyone out there?

While attending a photography workshop in 2021 in Eastern Kentucky, I visited the birthplace of Loretta Lynn. The home was in a place called Butch Holler. Someone had a bit of fun by placing this manikin in the upstairs window. I just loved the feel it gave to the home and the contrasting colors of the fabric against the colorful wood.

Twice I have had the opportunity to spend some time close and up person with a herd of bison. While I was protected from their fierce bodies, I was close enough to hand feed! Their tongues are rough, and their breath smells bad but have noses that are soft and wet. Such a gentle creature until provoked, then LOOK OUT!

While staying at the Terry Bison Ranch in Cheyenne Wyoming, I woke to a herd of horses running to breakfast. It was a very unexpected and pleasant surprise to watch as they moved from one field to the next.

To Fly – Hawaii

To fly freely above the water is one of the most freeing feelings I’ve ever felt.

Probably one of the most fascinating places I ever had the opportunity to visit. One could spend hours taking pictures and never capture its beauty.

This shot was taken in Central Park.
