Summer here in the west slowly drifts away with the cool evening breezes. With the return of the cooler weather, also comes the return of the local wildlife, moving into their Fall patterns. I love this time of year, but know that it is time to once again prepare for the long cold winter months…

Thanks to the wonderful work of Cory and Web dog services I have finally graduated from a blog, to a web page.. Time to spread my wings and get things a little better organized.. Please bare with me, as I slowly learn all the new buttons and whistles here.. I am also very excited about having a new Gallery, once I get the photos uploaded it will make it easier to find those prints you have been looking for to hang in your home or office.... I promise I will get to it soon..Hawk and I have been working on ...
After hours of trying to capture a good photo of a pheasant in the snow, I learned the valuble lesson that anyone who has ever persued these fast flying, fast running birds already knows. They just don't stand there and pose. Although this is not how I invisioned the perfect shot, Catching the irredescent colors of this cock pheasant in motion against a simple winter background turned out to be my favorite thus far.
Here in Northwestern Wyoming spring has arrived in all its glory. The thermometer reads 24 degrees, there is a fresh dusting of snow on the ground and yes, once again the wind is blowing. Glory you say, that doesn’t sound like glory. Well if you look closely, you will see the glory and beauty in this rugged and unforgiving country. An early spring snow may temporarily stall the arrival of the grasses and slow the budding of the trees, but it will not stall the coming of the mountain blue bird. This little guy has returned to this mountain side ...

Please stay warm and dry, and comfortable in all that beauty…
City life where I live isn't completely devoid of nature — this year my yard and the hillside below has been host to two mother deer — one with two fawn and the other with one… On occasion Papa Deer comes walking through too…
I absolutely am in love with this shot! Wow!
I dislike the thought of winter returning, however, I reslish the thought of autumn. This photo reminds me of a a big buck I called "Bruce" who would stay around our Mountain home in the fall. Majestic and beautiful that is the only time he came around….debbie
Stacey: I really miss your regular post. cool shot of the buck in the dark. If you get a chance check out the young buck that came into my yard on Wednesday.
Gorgeous silhouette! Nice job. The colors are gorgeous too.
Hi Stacey,
Wonderful shot!! Here too the winter is coming, the light is decreasing quickly and all the birds (almost) have migrated back to their winter station! Very few oF them are still here, but the landscape is becoming wonderful with the autumn colors!
Beautiful photo and oh how blue the sky. It was 56 degrees here this morning, the last day of Aug., and the ground is beginning to receive the yellow leaves. The walnut trees loose theirs first. Peace
Love the shot of the buck! Even though I'll be glad when it starts to cool off some.It gets very hot here and it will probably stay this way for a while.I do enjoy the pics of the wildlife and always look forward to seeing more.
I don't think I could live happily anywhere there wasn't a change of seasons. I love each one of them.
Lovely photo.
Hi Stacey
Beautiful image giving off a brief moment of peace and tranquility before getting back to the hard rigors of life in the wild. Dont know how it is for you at the moment but our seasons are not running true to form. Still we just have to live with what mother nature throws at us.
Hi Stacey,
A beautiful image. It is a strange thing, but the photographer looks forward to the beauty of autumn and the excitement in the wildlife world, yet I hate to see another winter approach.
That's a winner any day Stacey. Congratulations.
This is a beautiful shot, Stacey. Love the silhouette against the dark blue. Nice work!
Love this time of year as well. And as always, absolutely beautiful picture.
Love the night shot putting the deer in silhouette! It is gorgeous!
What a beautiful, serene photograph. Calming …
Even though our part of the country didn't get much of a summer, I do welcome the crisp cool of the fall. Just wait a little longer before the snow…
Amazing photo! Autumn is a wonderful time of year for wildlife viewing. Also, the leaves are at their peak. But it is sad that it brings the winter in which many animals struggle.
….ohhhh…..gorgeous photo….mood indigo…
Autumn is my favorite time of the year for many reasons such as the cool nip in the air, the leaves turning colors, fall festivals, the smell of a wood stove and of course deer hunting season.
This shot is absolute stunning! WOW!
