White-Eyed Watcher

I took these photos a few years ago in Georgia, but only just got around to really looking at them. The bird in the image appears to be a white-eyed vireo (Vireo griseus)—at least, that’s my best guess. I’m fairly sure I was shooting with a Canon 90D paired with a SIGMA 150–600mm lens back then.

Funny enough, just yesterday I received a Canon R5 and the RF 200–800mm lens, though I haven’t properly put them to work yet. This morning, while walking with Charlie, I brought along my old Canon 6D instead. That R5 setup is just too long—and a bit too unwieldy—for a dog walk.

Rust-Crowned Sentinel

Every time I spot a chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina), its subtle earth-toned plumage and rust-colored cap remind me of military camouflage—giving these little birds an unexpectedly rugged appearance. During the winter and early spring, they seemed to be everywhere, their numbers in the hundreds. Now, only a handful remain, occasionally seen foraging on the ground. I read that their diet shifts with the seasons, transitioning from seeds in the colder months to insects in the warmth of spring and summer.

If you enjoy photos of birds and other wildlife, take a look at my photo gallery. Sparrows are never overlooked—they're a valued and important part of my collection. Feel free to explore!

Blue Jay’s Feathered Ballet

This image first struck me as reminiscent of a rooster greeting the morning with a triumphant call. The blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) appears to be landing amid the grass, possibly in search of food. More likely, however, its sharp gaze has already locked onto something of interest, and it is preparing to snatch its prize before swiftly taking flight once more.

If you're enchanted by images of blue jays and other captivating corvids, dive into my photo gallery for a visual treat! Take a peek:

Good morning. ☕☕☕

17 June 2025

My mornings are cherished moments—just sitting here in my office, enjoying the quiet, sharing a photo, and writing to you. Of course, Charlie is usually here, offering his own brand of "help," especially when it’s close to mealtime. And right now, it most certainly is.

Did you know the Whee-Lo and the Slinky are still around? Hmmm... 🤔 I suppose that makes them timeless toys for kids of all ages. 😆 I had both over 60 years ago, though in hindsight, they weren’t all that exciting. The Whee-Lo had just one trick, and that novelty wore off fast. As for the Slinky, I tried to get it to walk down the stairs like in the commercial, but unless the steps were the perfect size, the magic never quite happened. Still, I have to admit—I liked them well enough as a kid.

Daffodil Delight

This wild daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) flourishes in our backyard, emerging each year in early spring with its radiant golden bloom.

For an animal that doesn't move much, sloths can be hard to photograph in a way that results in a photo worth looking at. However, on the last day of our workshop, we found this mother and baby, and the resulting photographs have caused me to delete all the ones from the rest of the week!

Raptor’s Vigil

Charlie and I took a new route for this morning’s walk. My planned path was blocked, so we pivoted north instead of south. Near the turnaround point, I spotted two red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis), each perched in a different tree to the southeast. Unfortunately, getting closer wasn’t an option—some areas were fenced off, while others were thick with tall brush. Wearing shorts, I wasn’t about to wade through grass and foliage.

Good morning. 💮📸😑

16 June 2025

I ordered a new camera and lens from Canon USA a week ago. In hindsight, I probably should have gone with Amazon or B&H Photo—if I had, I’d already be testing the camera by now. But Canon hasn’t even shipped the items yet. Sure, they offer free 3–7-day shipping, but that only starts after the parcels actually leave their warehouse. I’ll probably call them today, though I suppose patience is a virtue. In the meantime, I’ll just close my eyes and chant Om Mani Padme Hum. It’s not like I don’t already have four other cameras. Patience, Padawan.

I ordered a Canon R5 and an RF200-800mm lens. I’ve been considering it for a while, and I finally decided—why not? You only live once. Well… 🤔 I didn’t actually decide that. That’s just how things are.

part of my macro workshop involved working w/ flash to overcome the extreme depth of field issues, i'm a bit meh on flash but me thinks this one's a keeper

(Note: all animals photo'd for this class were wild herps locally wrangled & returned to the wild after-- prefer not to post any picture of "collected" animals (however temporarily collected) w/out disclosure

Harsh light this afternoon but I found a few hibiscus showing off in the sun.

so happy today to see so many insects in particular, Butterflies and Dragonflies. Hopefully we will see a recovery this year as last year numbers were poor
