This is another photograph from last year. This mamma Quail is keeping an eye on her clutch of babies that were feeding behind those small purple flowers.

Check out those fingers. You know, Douglas' Squirrel are actually quite small.  Just a little bigger than a Chipmunk I'd say. Very fun to watch in person.

Ecuador had some of the most unique flowers that I have ever seen.

After the Sun had already set I stuck around Manzanita Lake in Mt. Lassen to watch a family of Deer. This particular juvenile looked up to see what its sibling was eating over in the tall grass.

This is actually a photograph from last year. I have a lot of photographs from the recent past that I'll be posting alongside more recent content. Now that the new website is wrapping up, daily posts will continue once again so you can check back often and still see new stuff to enjoy.

Coral Fungus is always a fun discovery when out in nature. It's not super uncommon but uncommon enough that this unique Fungi always gets our attention. By our, of course, I mean my Mushroom loving wife.

Sorry I haven’t been posting my Field Notes as much. That’s because I haven’t been out in the field much. However, I did make a very quick trip to the central coast of Oregon. I’ll be sharing more from that visit, including a brand new Nature Mood video but for right now you only get this Roosevelt Elk. You can actually very easily see this Elk and its herd. They are right off the highway near Reedsport, OR. It’s called the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area. It’s just an open field and sometimes the Elk are out grazing.

This area doesn’t make for great photographs because it’s just a field, but the weather helped me a little. It was partly cloudy that day which was better than full Sun. Sunny weather makes for harsh lighting conditions so photographs don’t look as nice. But every now and then the Sun would get covered up so I could shoot a little. Another lucky aspect was that the wind was blowing. I’ll be the first to admit that this isn’t the most exciting photograph, but the wind blowing does make it a whole lot more interesting than if everything was still. There is juxtaposition between the stillness of the Elk and the chaotic environment.

This is going to be my last post for a while. Well, hopefully not too much longer. I’m very excited for the future. My younger self would love the website that is coming. I can’t imagine he’s the only one..

I really like the flowers in this particular shot and the bonus of the water droplet.

Sorry I have not posted in a bit. I was traveling with no internet access for my computer. I do have a business update if you are interested. I was days away from launching the revised website when I discovered that Squarespace, my website platform, does not calculate shipping costs correctly. If I stick with Squarespace then customers will be charged twice the price for shipping. However, I find that unacceptable, so I’m moving everything over to another platform. This process has been very hard on me mentally but I know that it is all for a reason. As I’ve been working on rebuilding the new website on another platform, I’ve been learning a lot more and this move is definitely for the best. I can’t wait for you to see it, but it’s going to take a little more time.

A very simple shot with a lot of detail in the Hummingbird. If I take photos of perched birds I do try my best to get a shot with their mouth open. You may notice that in a lot of my photographs.
