Quiet on the Prairie – March Print of the Month
Quiet on the Prairie – March POTM Time for the March Print of the Month Sale! Since St.Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, I selected “Quiet on the Prairie” as the photo with its beautiful view of the lush green prairie. I made this photo on a beautiful spring evening in
Photo ops around the house on a cold, winter day
This past Saturday parts of Kansas had a snow storm move through. Initial forecasts varied a bit, but on the upper end some decent snow fall was forecast. The storm didn’t live up to its potential and we didn’t end up with that much snow (and what we did get was largely melted by afternoon […]
Travels with Dad – A trip to the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge
This past weekend my dad and I took a quick road trip to a photography event at the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge just outside of Canton, Kansas. The past few winters there has been a photography outing there called FYBO (freeze your buns off) which raises money for the refuge. Maxwell has a herd of bison […]
February Print of the Month Sale
Time for the February Print of the Month sale. Since I just got back from a road trip with my dad, I thought I would use a photo from one of our road trips for the February print of the month sale. The world is still a bit monochrome outside so I wanted a […]
Light on the ice – Some winter waterscape photographs
I’ve always enjoyed photographing water and at times I’ve thought that waterscape photographer would be a better label for me than landscape photographer. In the heat of the summer I’m really drawn to the water and spend quite a bit of time at nearby lakes. In the winter I also find myself photographing at lakes […]
Goosed – Photographing the geese this winter
This fall and winter I have really enjoyed photographing the Canada geese that have moved in to the area. I know the geese are noisy and messy and can be a nuisance (I wouldn’t want them in my backyard), but they are fun to watch. In flight they are very graceful, when they begin the […]
January Print of the Month Sale
Time for the January Print of the Month Sale! This month’s photo is “Out in the Flint Hills” which was made out at Wildflower Road in June of last year. Everything is a bit monochrome outside right now so I thought we could use a splash of color! This sale will run until the […]
A long weekend of bird photography
In my last blog post I mentioned that we have been going through some streaks of cloudy days (admittedly with a few breaks now and then so I don’t think it is time to put a coffee shop on every street corner just yet). Grey cloudy days aren’t all that conducive for “the wide view” […]
A few breaks in the clouds and the return of the light
For a bit towards the last half of December I wasn’t sure I remembered what a nice sunny day looked like. It seemed like we were always under a dreary grey sky. I don’t know how people that live in perpetually cloudy locations can take it. A couple of weeks and I was climbing the […]
Photographs from Big Basin and St. Jacob’s Well
Earlier this fall my Dad and I made our annual photography trip down to the Barber-Comanche-Clark county area. We have been going down to this area of Kansas for the past several years and I always enjoy these trips. The Bean family got its start in Kansas in Comanche County in 1885 and it is […]
