Made for the Award Tree challenge ~ Black & White ~
I was so lucky to see the last two baby birds leaving the nesting box. The rest had already gone.
It happened very fast and it wasn't easy to capture this!
A Camellia for Valentines's Day
Camellia First Blush won best non-reticulata at the Camellia Show. (I am not the grower)
My first attempt at wedding photography as a favor, probably not to happen again. A long, tough day that showed me how hard these photographers have to work
I don't live in an area that gets a lot of thunderstorms, and I've never really had a chance to try and photograph a lightning bolt.
Coming down the mountains in eastern Oregon on a birding trip, I hear some thunder in the distance, stop at the nearest pull-off and 1000-or-so shots later...
Got me a picture of lightning!
NP 7012A leans into an S curve near Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad's Mineral shops on a gloomy December afternoon.
Isn't s/he adorable???
First time in my yard this winter - mama with one fawn.
Hopefully they will be back.
It was interesting to watch how attentive both parents were to the young in this nest. Father was never very far away. (Viera, Florida)
Just received my first exhibit showing some of my bald eagle photography at the Murchison Performing Arts Center at UNT, sponsored by the Greater Denton Arts Council. It's an honor to be selected. The show will continue through May 2022. There is also an online exhibit at dentonarts.com/lockwood for those of you who are not local to the DFW area. The photographs are 20x30 inches on metal. A portion of all proceeds go to the Greater Denton Arts Council, and I am donating 100% of the show's profits to a scholarship endowment fund to support photography students at UNT.
A rare un-rebuilt SD70MAC leads southbound doublestack train Q203 into the hole at North Cairo amidst freshly fallen powder. Still is extremely weird to call these once ubiquitous wide-nosed EMDs "rare", but considering this is the first one I have photographed in three years with most on the CSX roster either stored or rebuilt, it is what it is...
My first 5 sighthounds (except Lady my first greyhound). Rhia, Fern, Kali, Charliy and number one special dog, Shasta. I'm amazed I managed to get them all together with a film camera, it's hard enough with 3!!! Fern is looking away, but that fits in with her character, she was always looking to run off :-)
Caught here in the very early morning, the Ardington Brook is one of many similar chalk streams (Ginge, Betterton, Lockinge, Goddard's) that emerge in this area of South Oxfordshire below the Berkshire Downs, and then - via multiple ponds and small lakes - meander for about 10 miles through local villages before joining the River Thames near Abingdon.
This is what an inch and a half of snow looks like when it turns out to be almost five inches.
The only barn in our immediate area and it's owned by Cook Country.......so I guess one could say that I own a piece of this property in paying county taxes.......
While the James R. Barker finishes loading the first cargo of Mustang pellets, a nice power set on BNSF's job 218 (transfer from Superior) rolls past with 8 cars for Rices Point. Note the commemorative banner on the Barker's boom.
