Travels
Frenzied Flight
Thousands of Ross’s Geese at the Merced National Wildlife Refuge.
Duck, Duck, Geese
At the Merced National Wildlife Refuge amongst thousands of Ross’s Geese that winter here were these Northern Shoveler ducks splashing about.
Cliff Swallows
Driving along highway 88 in California, I noticed a large flock of birds darting in and out of a large conglomerate of rock along the Carson river. I pulled over and scrambled down to the river’s edge. From a distance it doesn’t look like much but zoomed in I was able to get a photo of the numerous nests of Cliff Swallows built into the rock wall. 
Night Memorials
World War II Memorial in the foreground and Lincoln Memorial in the distance.
Boardwalk by Moonlight
To make this shot interesting, I had to angle the boardwalk, the hot spring, the moon and its reflection into the frame. There’s so much to look at in the photo.
Islands in the Sky
Another favorite from my 2013 trip to Yellowstone & the Grand Tetons. I was with a photographer guide and he asked, “what I was going for?” in this shot. I said that it looked like “Islands in the Sky”. It gave the reflection of the mountains a 3D texture.
