Back in the land of internet connections…spent the weekend in the swamps.. and bayous… they are a whole different world..thick and seemingly inpenetrable, but full of live. We saw deer, turkey, several species of lizards, spiders, alligator, birds, birds and more birds, bugs and one very unhappy little snake on a trail through the woods just after dark. Saw sign and scat from wild dogs and raccoon… And as mother Nature does so often, she surprised me with a changing landscape around every turn.. from flat grassy swamp lands.. to tall towering oaks that opened up to a beautiful ocean view.. we had a fantastic time playing in this...

My husband and son found this guy stuck on the median between a 6 lane highway.. he was a little rough and not real happy, but I can’t say I would be pleasant either.. We took him down to a pond behind the motel we were staying in.. and I don’t know much about turtles but when he finally peaked out of his shell.. I think he was glad to see the water. Monday again already,…what else can you do, but “Keep on Smilin” Read More →

~Peripheral~ For those of you who expressed concern.. Yesterday I was finally able to get my photo archives transferred to a new external drive~ so all is good…. My advice to anyone who has a bunch of photos stored on their computer is to keep a backup of all your things on an external hard drive.. then go get a second one, and use it to mirror the information on the first one.. put it away and just back up any new information once a month or so.. My old hard drive wasn’t even half full.. but it was over heating and wouldn’t let me access the files long enough to get them off of it.. I strapped it to the air conditioner and... [SEE MORE]

Posting a photo from home today.. I have been neglecting my web page for the last week.. and I apologize, I have been working on a new project.. I am going to be doing some video editing from Elk season last Fall.. and in the process of setting up my computer to get ready… I discovered that the external hard drive I have been saving all my photos to for the last 2 1/2 years is dying a slow and painful( for me) death. I have spent the last 3 days trying to copy them off of the drive and on to a new one.. but it is not working well.. So keep your fingers and toes crossed and I will continue to plug away ..

Another bird that is common down here in Texas.. but not a stranger to Wyoming either.. I have seen them often fishing in a pond outside of Powell.. Interesting fact about the cormorant ~ For nearly 1300 yrs they have been used in China, Japan, and Macedonia for fishing.. fishermen would capture and train the birds to return to them.. then they would tie a small noose around their necks so they could not swallow large fish(only little ones) .. Cormorants are exceptional at fishing.. so when the tried to eat a large fish and it would get “stuck in their throat” so to speak.. they will return to the fisher”men” in the boats... [SEE MORE]

Finally got a photograph of a wild animal down here on the beach that has FUR on it.. I know you are getting tired of all the birds, but there are soooo many new and cool birds down here on the coast.. Saw one of these running across the sand dune a week or so back.. but as hot as the sand gets.. it is no wonder you don’t see them much.. This day was a cool(er) day after Hurricane Alex passed by and we spotted an adult spotted ground squirrel and when I stopped to take a photo of it.. this baby stood up to see what was happening.. talk about an adorable little creature… it reminded me of a meerkat.. and now I know what the coyote...

Today is a very special day for our country.. today is not about me or the photography that I share here.. Today is about the brave men and women who have fought for each and every one of us.. God Bless you all.. and thank you for making it so that we can all sleep at night, and play when we choose, and complain, and love and all of the other wonderful things that we take for granted each and every day.. I for one say THANK YOU! and I will not forget.. (Please take a moment to share this video with your children and grand children… ) Sorry.. didn’t know how to share just the video and not the link… Be safe out there today and... [SEE MORE]
