Kansas Waterfalls
I had several people ask questions about the waterfalls in my “This is My Kansas” video that I recently posted so I decided to put together a video of just photographs of Kansas waterfalls. Surprising to a lot of people, there are a handful of waterfalls scattered across Kansas. Or course these waterfalls are not […]

This is my Kansas…and it is Beautiful
A few days ago a poll came out from Business Insider that said Kansas was the least scenic state in the US. I haven’t been to every state in the country (and I’d bet most of the people in that poll haven’t either) so I can’t say for sure what state is the least […]
Photographing the Kansas Wheat Fields
Kansas often gets stereotyped as having no landscapes other than one large wheat field. This isn’t quite accurate, but Kansas does have a large number of wheat fields and those fields produce a large portion of the US wheat supply. In fact, Kansas is normally the number one wheat-producing state in the U.S. and produces […]
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 […]
