Fall in the Flint Hills

Fall Afternoon on the Prairie

There are a lot of things to like about fall, the cooler weather, the change in wildlife as bird migrations take place, the anticipation of Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner, and of course the changing colors of the world. I live on the northern end of the Flint Hills, the last large continuous […]

Caught on the Edge – A quiet Fall moment for the October print sale

Caught on the Edge

  This Fall has been a subdued one for me for several reasons. Accordingly, the photo “Caught on the Edge” seemed to be a good one for my October (actually October-November) print of the month sale. I made this photo at a small cascade on Wildcat Creek where it flows around Wildcat Park. I used […]

Changes in the Fields – Watching a Few of the 2016 Kansas Wheat Fields

Mature Kansas wheat field

Each season brings different things to the world around me that I like to make sure and photograph as they roll across the calendar each year. In the summer, that is going to mean wildflowers, the beautiful greens of the prairie in the early summer (assuming we have good spring rains!) and the wheat fields. […]

Exploring a bit of Cowley County

The Way Across

My Dad and I made one of our yearly photo outings a few weeks ago.  Over the past few years we have tried to take at least one photo trip together annually. Most of these trips have focused on the Gyp Hills region of Kansas in Barber County and nearby areas of Comanche and Clark […]

Photo ops around the yard…capturing the arrival of spring

Lily of the Valley

Circumstances have kept me close to home so far this spring. I haven’t been able to make it out with my camera much lately to get my Nature fix, so I’ve been spending as much time as I can prowling around my yard. It has been fun watching and photographing the first signs of spring […]

Time with the bald eagles this season

Listen To Me

Photography has helped me be more in tune with the cycles of the natural world around. As these cycles change, so do the photography opportunities around. Since I’ve been doing this for several years now, it has been interesting to see how the cycles themselves have changed (not always for the better).  This time of […]
