I photographed these two in a larger group of turkeys in Bosque Del Apache in central New Mexico. The variety of odd animal caricaturists that show up in nature is super cool. It’s neat that in the same habitat there are creatures that are as different as turkey and javelina.
This colorful little fellow is a Cucumber Beetle. I understand that they can be quite devastating to agricultural crops, but I had to stop and appreciate its bright colors and the glossy finish on its shell.
I’d like to go back to the Serengeti someday. It had an interesting feeling there that I didn’t expect; it had a soft, warm, comforting feeling, and yet at the same time, it had a feeling of tension. It sure is a cool place. The wildlife diversity/density in east Africa is pretty amazing. I took this image on the western side of the Serengeti. The tall grass and acacia trees were all full of life at every turn.
I love all the iridescent colors on these little Anna’s hummingbirds. Every fall I look forward to photographing them as they come down from the Sierra Nevada mountains to the warmer lower elevations.
Aerial photography is always one of my favorites. I love how different everything looks from the air compered to being on the ground and seeing everything at eye level.

I took this over/under water photograph in a fast-moving arctic river near the Yukon/Northwest Territory border. The water clarity in the arctic rivers was interesting; some of the rivers were completely muddy and filled with thick sediment while other rivers were crystal clear. The vegetation in this area was a combination of tundra and scrubby small deciduous trees. The area is a neat, rough landscape.

I always love finding amphibians in the wild. I found this cute little toad on a mossy streambank. Neat little creatures.
