Christmas in July sale
I woke up on the 25th to the radio playing Christmas music as a “Christmas in July” broadcast. I love Christmas so I decided to have a Christmas in July sale. You can use the coupon code FZXCYL on any orders through my website for ~15% discount (exact discount will vary a bit due […]
“Room to Breathe” – Out in the Prairie
One thing that really attracts me to photographing the prairie is the sense of “openness” you find there. Vast, sometimes described as empty, which I could almost understand if you just glimpsed the prairie through a car window going 75 mph. That’s not a good way to connect to any landscape, but especially not the […]
Open House at Baldwin City, Kansas July 6th

Watching the bald eagles at Tuttle Creek Lake
Kansas is not at the top of the list as a hot spot for watching bald eagles in the winter; in fact it might surprise many people that bald eagles can be seen in the state at all. Each winter bald eagles spend some time at lakes and rivers across the state and can often […]
Winter Wildlife at the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge
This past winter I spent more time photographing wildlife than I normally do. Granted this wasn’t a lot of time, but it was something different for me. I got started photographing wildlife at the “freeze your buns off ” (FYBO) event at the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge set up by fellow photographers Jim Griggs and Jeff Heidel. This […]
Dancing on the Prairie – Watching the Greater Prairie Chickens Boom
This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit a greater prairie chicken booming ground on Konza Prairie. A booming ground is an area where male prairie chickens do a “dance” and also “boom” to attract the attention of females (a bit like a college bar district on any given weekend for humans). The day started […]
The Beauty in Agriculture
Order a print of this photo Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been slowly re-working my photo galleries and added new images. I’ve completed one gallery of Flint Hills photos, “The Flint Hills – The Wide View”and I’ve just completed another gallery “Beauty in Agriculture” Of course landscape and nature photographs are beautiful […]
The End of the Beginning
I had big plans for photographing the transition from 2012 to 2013 – I was going to photograph the last sunset of 2012, the first sunrise of 2013 and the first sunset of 2013. Thought that might make a nice set of photographs. I’ve been planning to shoot sunset/sunrise/sunset at the change of each year […]
First Snow
Well winter is off to a better start this year than last year, we have already had two really pretty snows. After what seemed like the extended Fall we had last year, I hope we continue to get some real winter-like weather this year – especially if it brings some much needed moisture to the […]
Another year of Kansas – photographs from 2012
It is hard to believe another year has gone by. This past year was a strange on weather wise, wildflowers and the wheat crop were 3 to 4 weeks early in much of the state, we are still in a nasty drought and summer was a lot hotter than I prefer. The world still turns […]
