(click on any photo in this post to enlarge it) Each year there are certain things I try to make sure and photograph, waterfalls running full in the spring, burning of the prairie, the blooming of the butterfly milkweed, etc. One thing I try not miss each year is the Kansas wheat fields right before…
(click on any photo in this post to enlarge it) I had the chance Saturday to do some exploring around Alma with the gang from Kansascapes. We had hoped to photograph the moon rise out in the Flint Hills, but the clouds weren’t cooperating with us; a predicted 25% cloud cover had turned into 95%…
I had the opportunity earlier this week to spend some time wandering around in the Flint Hills, which is always a good way to spend a day. The day started by meeting fellow photographers from the Kansascapes Photo Alliance at the Bird Runner Wildlife Refuge where we are going to shoot a year long project. …
The full moon today (Saturday the 20th) is supposed to be a ‘super full moon‘ where the full moons occurs when the moon is closest to the Earth (perigee). The moon will be somewhere around 14% larger than normal. I went out Friday evening to try and photograph the moon rise a day early. Why…

The photograph above was taken a couple of weeks at sunset. I had just pulled off the road into a scenic overlook near Carnahan Creek where I was out with one of my photography classes. As everyone was getting out of the vehicle, we noticed the sun going down behind a hill. With the sun…
I had recently had the chance to photograph a sunset at the Outlet State Park below the Tuttle Creek Dam, a place I have taken photographs in several times before. I was out with one of my photography classes at the Outlet Park for the sunset. Towards the end of the evening the class ended…
I hate to admit this, but I live and die by my Outlook Calendar. If it’s not in my Outlook calendar, I won’t remember it. You should have seen me when I found out I could sync my Outlook Calendar between home and work computers and my phone… I was positively giddy (yes, giddy). One…
