So peaceful looking, and I remember it just the way it looks.

Our Life of Multitasking and Skimming in Search of Productivity
Maybe its photography over the past 20 years that has made me over sensitive to our cultural demands for productivity, which in turn has given way to our two worst developed habits in search of better productivity, multi-tasking and skimming text. I am probably the worst at putting aside distractions but photography is one of…

Perdido Key National Seashore Photos :: Friday Feet
Today was our first and last full day on the gulf coast. For January, the weather was beautiful but very very windy. We went to one of our most favorite places in the Perdido Key area, the Gulf Islands National Seashore. We never really stay for more than a day or two down here but…

How to Tell a Story or Draw Conclusions with a Bald Eagle Photo
A friend of mine asked me yesterday “what is your favorite photo you have ever taken”. When I couldn’t answer that question, he asked me about my favorite series of photos. That was an easier question but one I still really couldn’t answer. In a way, both are almost impossible questions to answer, much like…

Hand Feeding a Ruby Throat Hummingbird :: Photos
Did I mention we have some crazy, very aggressive eating Ruby Throat Hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) here at the house? These little guys are not in the least bit shy, and will act more like a hungry dog if you let their food run dry. These images were taken as Deborah was trying to put their food…

Limpkin Invades Wakulla Springs State Park
I have over the years learned to really appreciate the wildlife photographers that specialize in photographing birds. It is no easy task when they are usually so skidish of any movement. This guy was shot from a small floating boat in the swamp, he must be use to crazy photographers. Wakulla Springs State Park in…

Auburn Raptor Center with the Golden Eagle
The image of the day is an image that is pretty much a symbol of lower Alabama area, the Golden Eagle. More than a mascot, this is a magnificent bird to see in flight. This is another photo that was taken at the Auburn University Raptor Center during a photography shoot. There were so many…

Auburn Raptor Center and Great Horned Owl in Flight
Sometimes when photographing wildlife you just have to be in the right place at the right time. This is no small owl, the Great Horned Owl is quite large, and their flight is so silent that I have seen them fly across a large pasture, right by my head, and never knew they were there…

Testing Out Freelance Work With Elance
Wednesday, April 23, 2008 The weather today could not have been nicer down here in beautiful LA. It is now in the mid-80’s during the day and very pleasant at night. It won’t be long before we will have to shut all doors and windows and not open them again until winter, lest we melt…

Purchased Revolution WordPress Theme, We Will See I Guess
Today started off productive and early with work on my editor blog and a few images. I am almost finished now copying all my images over to my new HDD and I can’t wait until the last disc is copied tomorrow. I think I have now copied about 300-400 GB’s of images over form disc.…

First Bald Eagle Sighting at Our Place in Auburn Alabama
I had the first Bald Eagle sighting over our property today. A drought stricken pond gave up one of its last remaining fish for this Eagle, a magnificent sighting for here. I had been looking for raptors on the property since we moved in but the most common one is the Red Tail Hawks (and…
