I’ve mentioned several times on my blog how photography has made me more aware of the cycles that the natural world goes through each year. One thing I really look forward to each year is when the bald eagles move into Kansas in larger numbers each winter. There are bald eagles that nest in Kansas…
I’m writing this post toward the end of Winter when I’m really looking forward to Spring and bright, vibrant colors coming back into the world. The tail end of Winter is probably my least favorite time of year. I’ve been catching up on editing photos from this past Fall and looking back at the…
Each January for the past several years, with the exception of 2020, I’ve put together a slideshow of my landscape and nature photos from the previous year. This has been an interesting way for me to remember the previous year and a good reminder of how much I have to be grateful for each year.…

I’m working on setting up a regular schedule for blog posts. Lots of ideas of different kinds of posts including ‘how to’ type posts about camera operation and the basics of photography, image processing, thoughts on improving composition, posts dealing with locations and of course sharing photographs. I’d like to hear what type of information…
