Lake City Colorado Wide-Angle Water Landscape
One of the things I probably dis-like the most about blogs is having to clean house, but, this weekend I went through the tedious process of implementing a new design, updating all the categories for each post, and changing some previous posts to display the full size images this design will accommodate. I really think…

Tropical Storm Fay is a Welcome Arrival in Auburn
Taken during heavy gusts and rain out the back door of our house. Tropical Storm Fay made its way across our corner of Alabama yesterday and last night, bringing some great rain to a drought area. Tornado warning after warning came and went, but the most we got here is a good solid day of…

Early Morning Light Photography in the Hotel
Simple photography elements are some of my most favorite. I took this while I was waiting for Deb to get ready in the hotel room.

Cahaba or Shoals Spider Lily in Full Summer Bloom
After a dry spell, rain finally arrived, encouraging the blooming of an unknown bulb, identified as the Cahaba Lily, native to Alabama. The bulb, an Amaryllis variety, was brought from Texas, planted earlier this year, and is thriving in the garden under the right conditions for photography.

Bachelor Loop Road in Creede Colorado, a Must See
I finally got back around to doing the photo of the day. This image is from a trail called Bachelor Loop that runs from the town center of Creede Colorado up into the mountain that overlooks the city, then back down the other side. The road runs in front of the cabin and you can…

There are a few wildflowers that really capture a state, and the top two that come to mind are the Texas Bluebonnets and the Colorado Columbine. The Colorado Columbine is actually native to Canada but has really become a symbol of Colorado since it was adopted as the official state flower on April 4, 1899…

Great Horned Owl at Auburn’s Raptor Center
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…

Coypu Nutria or Marmot or Prairie Dog Relaxing
This image of the day is a little different. This is a Coypu or Nutria, sort of like a beaver with a cat-like tail. This, not so little, guy just sat here with me for about an hour. Animals can be a lot of fun to photograph, if they cooperate, and they usually don’t. When…

Great Photos Use Contrasting Colors like Flowers and Spiders
In nature photography, one of the best things to find is some subject with contrasting colors. Of course, you are taking about nature, so it isn’t really up to you, but if you can find a contrasting color (that would be red/green, or yellow/black, or blue/green etc), it will make the image pop out. Sometimes…
