Can you believe it, another afternoon at Lee Metcalf

Spent yesterday afternoon at Lee Metcalf NWR, and as always it was a spectacular time to be there. I was able to spot the female Greater Scaup again, and again without an image. Along the Kenai trail, Northern Shrike and American Tree Sparrow were among the visitors from the north. The surprise of the day …

Thoughts about our existence at Lee Metcalf.

Today, I read in an otherwise mundane news article that an old acquaintance of mine was killed in an avalanche near Cooke City. I have read many articles like this, but most of the time the names are not familiar, and I end up reading the news with very little care. The horrific details are all too soon …

Shrinking open water and the ducks

The other day I was treated to a display of Hooded Mergansers and other waterfowl at the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge. These are the images from that afternoon. Now for the Hooded Merganser shots

More in 15 minutes than…

One of things that I am valuing the most is the ability to visit the Garden of a 1000 Buddhas more often, and yesterday we had the opportunity to swing on our way to Plains. As always we stopped by the Sangha house and the resident cat, Shimi Dawa. Her name is Tibetan for Moon …

Yellowstone in September

Mammoth Hot Springs at Dawn

With each longer night, the elk bugle a bit more intensely and the frost clings a tad harder to the withering blades of grass. Time to pack up the camera gear and head down to Yellowstone National Park for a little session. The weather is great, but the wildlife tended to not cooperate. So, what …

Good Karma Bighorns

DSC_8289.jpg

Coming back from Big Sky on Sunday afternoon, I came across a small bachelor herd of Bighorn Sheep rams. Within the herd, there were two full-curl rams, one of which was very cooperative. It was a really treat to take image after image of this ram as he pawed through the snow to eat grasses …

Summer 2009 Top 25

I awoke this morning to a fall snap in the air, and I was reminded that the summer of 2009 is drawing to an end. Maybe it is a memorial to the warm weather, but I have selected my favorite 25 images from the summer.

On the way up to Glacier

We took off for Glacier National Park, and we drove the back roads and had a quick and productive stop at Freezout Lake.   After Freezout, we headed towards Browning and Glacier, when we encountered a really good thunderstorm.   We stayed the night at the St. Mary Campground; however, we had to wait for …
