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.

This is a beautiful remote spot where we camped several nights about 150 miles south of the arctic circle in the Yukon.  One afternoon, the sun broke through the clouds and made a super brilliant double rainbow. The vail of rain that was producing the rainbows was quite close to us and falling in the trees on the other side of the rocky clearing where we were camped.  Of all of the double rainbows that I have seen, this one seemed a little different; for whatever reason, the area between the rainbows was much darker than the rest of the surrounding sky. It looked like a dark grey strip in the sky with rainbows on either edge.

I took this photograph in a beautiful small forest in a valley near Chitina, Alaska.  The evening light was just perfect; it made the whole forest glow.
