Nature’s Anniversaries
For many nature lovers it is the smaller more seasonal anniversaries that mean so much too.
My Coyote image in Dave Barry’s 2014 Holiday Gift Guide
Yesterday I was sent the link to Dave Barry's 2014 Holiday Gift Guide in the Miami Herald and as I scrolled through the article and came across my coyote image I laughed so hard tears almost fell.
The idea of wilderness needs no defense
This past Saturday I watched the movie "Wrenched" with two dear friends so it seemed only fitting to share a quote from Edward Abbey some time this week.
The Richest Values Of Wilderness Lie In The Future
Every day scientists, conservationists and nature lovers are speaking up. Our numbers are growing and we are an increasing force to be reckoned with.
Autumn Pronghorn Portraits
I am very fortunate to live in an area where I can see these beautiful creatures up close and that is some thing I don't take for granted.
Utah’s Bounty Program on Coyotes is just plain stupid
There is an article about the coyote bounty program in the Salt Lake Tribune that has me ticked off, or should I call it the ignorant name the state gave it, "Mule Deer Preservation Act".
Nature’s Gifts
75,326 coyotes in 2013 were "denied" their portion of Nature's gifts when they were senselessly exterminated by USDA’s Wildlife Services

This Terry Tempest Williams quote strikes a chord within me because I feel very connected to nature and wildness and that connection is with me every day of my life.
Sandwich Tern and a pastel sky
I have tons of images I haven't processed and last week while searching for a Royal Tern to post I came across this Sandwich Tern I had taken in Florida in 2009.
The Coyote and the Deer Fly
Two years ago during the worst of the summer heat I photographed this Coyote and watched while it was pestered and probably bitten by a persistent Deer Fly.

I'm heading on another journey today to locations I have never been before so I expect I will be seeing plenty of views along the way.
Conservation Is A State Of Harmony
I would love to say that while I am wandering around exploring the natural wonders we have been gifted with that I can forget about the assaults on the land and the creatures that live there but I can't.
American Badger portrait
I thought I would share another American Badger portrait that I took back in May of this year on Antelope Island State Park in northern Utah.
The Earth
I can not help but to feel a sense of wonder or be enchanted by the wild majesty of the Centennial Valley in southwestern Montana.
Little Blue Heron portrait
This is another image I came across last week and wondered why I hadn't processed it because I don't have many Little Blue Heron portraits in my portfolio.
Wilson’s Plover at sunrise
I was covered in mud after laying in the mudflat to photograph this Wilson's Plover and I didn't mind a bit.
An afternoon at Red Rock Lakes
Afternoon at Red Rock Lakes Life is good. :-) Mia
There are some who can live without wild things
I am a part of the wild things even though my outsides might be adorned with the trappings of civilization my heartbeat still tells me I am wild.
Sunrise from another place and time
The reason Utah got uglier is that today Crow hunting killing season begins for the first time in the state so the day is already off on a bad start.
The Land Is One Organism
Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.
Fighting Red-tailed Hawk juveniles

Beautiful Pollinators
Yesterday the light wasn't great in the morning but I did get out to take some images an Antelope Island and there were plenty of pollinators out and about.
White Ibis and the reflections from mangroves
These two White Ibis images were taken 19 frames apart and the color of the water changed dramatically as the ibis and I moved north

I've compiled a medley of images this morning of bees, moths and hummingbirds that I have photographed this past week to share this morning.
Dairy Creek Moose

Red-tailed Hawk on a cold winter day
I photographed this particular Red-tailed Hawk on five different days in Utah County and really enjoyed the cold, crisp mornings I had with it.
Uinta Ground Squirrel in Montana
Even though Uinta Ground Squirrels are called pests, vermin and varmints by some people I happen to like them a lot as photographic subjects.

On my recent trip to eastern Idaho's Targhee National Forest the first mammals I encountered and photographed were a cow and calf Moose.
