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.......
I took this "promo" shot for Canibeat's first event they are holding.
Layered a few shots, the sky is legit, it was right before a pretty heavy storm.
here's a link to the post where you can find information about this event:
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.
I was excited to see the first butterfly visit my backyard, a black swallowtail. They are tricky to photograph, as their wings never stop fluttering. He or she was tending to the Blue Boa agastache plant on my deck. The windy conditions made it tricky to get a decent photo.
Too much light pollution where I live (and in most of Belgium) to get a picture of the Milky Way. So, I thought I'd draw it. First attempt.
This Itoh peony gets its name ‘First Arrival’ as it is one of the first hybrid peonies to bloom in the year. This is a semi-double flower variety of peony that has crinkly lavender-pink flowers.
The exquisite blossoms gradually become redder closer to the center of the flower. The center of the Itoh peony flower looks like a magenta and yellow-colored spiky ball. These large flowers can be as many as 40 on each plant with each one measuring around 8” (20 cm) across.
The moment of the first snow. There is always something magical about the first snow and how it lights up the landscape. The snow has all now melted, but I also love the darkness and the mood of this season.
Thanks to Flickr for featuring my work on this platform!
We were parked next to the main waterhole at Nxai Pan watching all sorts of antelope, buffalo, zebras, etc. all gathered around, when we saw this lion pop up.
We never got a good look at what she was eating, because it was caked in mud, but it was probably a springbok or antelope.
Three other lions showed up later (more pictures to come).

Over the last month, Mallard ducklings and Canada goslings are everywhere in Lincoln Park. Fun to watch the behavior as they'll tend to stray but mom just gives a little sound and they all come right back to her. Eventually these ducklings will be able to fly in a group at up to 55 mph and could live to be as old as 27 years. 05/13/13.
Giving the gams a little break after enjoying the art galleries in the Crossroads Arts District, Kansas City, MO.
This is what we came home to.
Ben loves the cooler weather and the first snow.
Us, not so much, at first.
Happy Thanksgiving !
First time visitor.
Not the best photograph of a Blue-headed Vireo, but this is the first time I have seen one in my yard in Chester County, PA

This is one image in a series I'm shooting on parking decks ... shapes and forms, light and shadow play, mood and atmosphere. Some images are minimalist; others representational; still others abstract. To see more in the series click Parking Deck Series
This is my first attempt at something called a “flatlay”! I’ve been wanting to try it for some time now, and decided today is the day....no Santa’s were harmed in the filming of this project, although some appear arthritic and old. That’s because they are! I love my vintage Santas, and think I’ve put them to good use.
