Wildlife and landscape photos
During my travels east across Washington State from the coast, I stopped at my friendly neighborhood campground, the Cascades near Packwood, Washington, where large bull and cow Elk wander about town during the day or night. When I spend the day at the local internet coffee shop and or the local library writing or reading,…

“Santa Cruze CA Pier/Wharf.”
I’m planning to merge my love of downhill mountain biking, and bicycle touring so I visited the Santa Cruz bicycle headquarters in Santa Cruz, CA. After I drooled over my possible bicycle purchase, I visited the Santa Cruz municipal wharf/pier. Upon my arrival, I was surprised and impressed with the history of nearly 3000-foot wharf/pier…

Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park is a natural amusement park, with hiking, and backpacking trails providing a soul calming meditative experience costing less than the entrance to Disney World, or Six Flags. There is so much beauty before your eyes in every direction you look, it becomes easy to lose your sense of where you are and…

“Theodore Rossevelt National Park.”
Serendipity is attached to my nomadic travels when I discover the incredible beauty of hundreds of bison, several dozen feral horses, along with hundreds of prairie dogs wandering the grassy landscape of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The park was established to protect bison, deer, and feral horses, among other animals. The south end of the…

“A National Parks Geek.”
It was a day after the American Labor Day holiday and the unofficial end of summer. But more importantly for me, it is the demographic transition of the US National Parks. I learned a couple of new phrases distinctive to Yellowstone National Park with the upcoming change of seasons, as the winds blow new color…

“Appreciating natural surroundings.”
Usually, on the weekends mostly during the morning hours, a hiking trail fills with groups of people flaunting their newly purchased hiking and backpacking gear. These groups move along in packs of ten or more resembling a social bubble with verbal noise drowning out the beauty of songbirds chirping from the trees above. Many within…

“Layers upon layers of hope.”
Attending a funeral, a retirement gathering, a college or high school graduation, of a family member or friend allows for personal self-reflection. Your thoughts peel away layers of life’s reality igniting and stirring emotions, to bring tears to your eyes similar to peeling layers of an onion. Life is similar to the layers of an onion when reaching…

“Borders & Birds.”
Welcome to WBN, your only destination for bird news worldwide. The year was 2011 when the World Bird Federation met for the first time since the 1966 DDT scare. Ever since the last meeting many bird organizations like the City Pigeons Association, Finches World Wide, and the formidable World Predatory Bird Association have met individually…

“Animals.”
This week, look to the bond between human and animal for inspiration. I draw my inspiration of animals in the form of respect. I capture my photos from a distance allowing them to roam, without any obstruction by me. This moose couple is similar to most people who want to live their lives unencumbered by…

“Perplexed, zing.”
It is early in the morning a half hour before the sunrises as I walk along a hiking trail to capture photos of mother nature, starting her day. This September morning, the weather is cold and crisp with the brightening sky glowing with streams of light from behind the mountains. My senses are heightened listening to…

Stump
The daily word prompts ignite my imagination of times in my life. The word “stump” has me reflecting on the stump-grinder, I rented to remove two tree stumps from my front yard several years ago. After I returned the rented machine, I can honestly say, I should have paid someone because of my wrist, elbows,…

Radical Moose Encounter
What would be the radical experiences to capture morning photos of the sunrise at a place called Silver Lake at Brighton Utah, 8000 feet above sea level? I never thought the term wildlife and landscape photographer would describe me but after an encounter with a young bull moose. I can say it applies. As I…

Happy Birthday US National Parks
Today the US National Parks celebrate their 100th centennial. Yes, being 100 is cool when you have the gorgeous historic beauty surrounding you when you are a Park Ranger. The very first National Park was Yellowstone signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Congress moved to set aside 1,221,773 acres…

“Partners”
I took plenty of long-distant photo of the Mute Swan partners with their cygnet securely in between both. A week later, they ventured to my side of the lake for a visit I believe seeking food or having their photos taken. The Swans have lived here for some time, and their monogamous relationship has outlasted…

Island
Oh, how I would love to live on an island. I was offered the opportunity to live on an island off the coast of Key West when I received a newsletter from the US National Parks artist-in-residence program asking for applicants for its residency located on the Dry Tortuga Island 90-miles off the coast of…

“One Love”
The universe is telling me to focus on love. What is it saying to you? Oh, how the spring of the year brings two birds together with love and commitment. The dutiful male Osprey is patiently looking out towards the Gulf of Mexico’s breakfast buffet of fish. While the female Osprey rests comfortably upon the unhatched…

“State of Mind”
This week, let your inner world and the outside one converge in a photo. The photo’s layout of local birds enjoying a cold sunny morning of 47 degrees or 8 celsius does not reveal my state of mind, which is I’m freezing. I know I should not complain. However, it is the last week of…

“Courage to Overcome”
Courage to overcome life’s obstacles is essential, however, what motivators are used to begin and sustain the courage to overcome? Awakening from what I hope was a nightmare is all I could imagine. My eyes were closed as my right hand felt the soft fur of something breathing. The breath reminded me of my ex-husband who…
