Hi Everyone!! We are still running crazy busy!! We set up our photo exhibit at Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge this past Sunday and that exhibit will run through the end of April!!
While Linda was setting up the exhibit with a close friend, I went out on the wildlife drive to see what I could find with another friend!! To our surprise, Ann and I saw something very special while we were shooting!! We were the first to see and photograph the first North American record of a Great White Pelican ever seen in the Americas!!
I knew when it was flying in it was totally different and much larger than our American White Pelican!! As it flew in to land, I took 33 images and then many as it setting in with the American White Pelicans!! It was a new species for me (and everyone else in the Americas) and my first rare bird alert!! Before we left that day the park biologist and many others had joined us!!
The bird has made national news and now the question begins on what was the origin of this amazing bird! It had no signs of bands or zoo tags at all!! This bird in native to Europe, Africa and Asia!! It was a fun day and we have been interviewed and provided images to everyone from Audubon, ABA, Cornell, to the National Park Service!! Timing is everything and we were in the right place at the right time!!

Timing is everything, it is the most relevant thing in all our lives. Everything is determined by it, and we are at it's mercy. In Photography, timing definitely is everything, and i was lucky enough to snap this guy on his knee asking the big question. I'll look back on this day with fond memories as I'm sure they will.
Got lucky in catching CN nos.2520 & 2632 rolling across the Monte Lake trestle with a southbound load of empties.
I am back from my last trip which involved driving from San Diego to Puerto Penasco with a friend of mine. He knew that I wanted to get pictures of the desert at sunrise so he planned on driving trough the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument park at sunrise. His calculations are usually right on the mark as they were this time. More about this great park when I post more pictures of the area.
I love the lighting of this scene a lot! Just a random capture while walking towards a train station, but accidentally good timing to me.

We were pleased with this first snow of the season back in November, but we have not been pleased with the recent April dustings. It snowed a bit overnight, and there is the possibility of more in the forecast. . So far, April has not been kind to us.

Louis showing great skills at the scooter park. He was kind enough to perform for the camera and gave some great photos.
3rd January 2026. HZ-HM65 is towed out of the Gulfstream Aerospace hangar onto the apron. Lucky timing for me.
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I miss spending time here and hope that one day when I am not working such long hours and commuting I will have more time and energy! I treasure all my contacts here and am forever grateful for all that I have learned from all of you!
I couldn't have gotten any luckier with my timing here, as CN 543 at left (with CSXT 3224 & CSX 468 for power) is backing up at Turcot West, just as CN 323 passes at right, with BCOL 4649, CN 2599, BCOL 4643 and only 22 cars.
We were headed home when we noticed this WBD U-NSDTND4-19A got the signal at Western Avenue as we passed by the land of the Burlingtons on the tollway. A short wait later and we lens him framed between bare trees just east of Western Springs, IL. Gotta love the "Conrail Heritage" that was riding second out!
In der Fotografie spielt Technik eine Rolle. Die heutigen Kameras sind ja voll davon. Bald benötigt man einen Waffenschein dafür…. Trotzdem spielt sie für mich eine untergeordnete Rolle, bezogen auf die Landschaftsfotografie. Da ist es entscheidend den richtigen Moment zu erwischen. An diesem Abend sollten mehr als drei Lilien blühen umgeben mit einer schönen Lichtstimmung und schleichenden Dunst aus dem Moor. Würde sagen, das passte ganz gut.
Das alles ist nicht immer einfach unterzukriegen, nebst Job und Familie. Besonders, wenn der Anfahrtsweg noch sehr lange ist. Doch mit solchen Belohnungen nehme ich das gerne auf mich. Ich geniesse den ganzen Prozess, mit Planung, den Moment vor Ort und zufrieden wieder heim gehen, sehr.
Fast alle meine Fotoprojekte bleiben mir in guter Erinnerung - ja, manchmal auch nur in Erinnerung 😉 ich lasse sie gerne Revue passieren, oft in Form dieser wenigen Zeilen, die ich alle mit meiner eigenen Intelligenz schreibe
Das alles wollen und können nicht alle, soweit so gut. Für mich ist das bewusste Fotografieren wichtig und meine Art kreativ zu sein.

Seagull spotlighted by the setting sun above Shawano Lake. Focus set at the distance the seagulls were passing through.
driving up the coastal road in late twilight — that one light turned out to be the snowplow on his way back into town. good timing, to drive over the last pass on a freshly cleared road! particularly since the wind was already starting to blow drifts across it again...
Lucked into timing this shot just right to have the gap in the alley filled not only with a person walking, but also a car driving through.

A spot where I have placed my tripod many times before but on this occasion I got my timings just about right - High tide, sunset and good clouds.

This is analogous to hanging on a string , they must have many in the shortlist to choose from . If I don't hear from the Editor ,that means it hasn't gone through .
I didn’t set this up. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

In this picture you can see my friend Felikz falling/jumping in my pool. He had to fall like a falling tree that we can save the perfect timing moment.
I used my 5DmkII and my 100/2.8 L Macro lens.
