All of the birds pictured here are wild. They like to congregate behind the bird sanctuary down by the water. After reading about this location, I was hoping that there would be more herons, but mostly the birds back there were pelicans. (Which weren’t very...

All of these images were taken in December on the farm except for the swan photo. One morning, I woke up and looked out the window and there was beautiful fog which seemed to vanish quickly but you can still see it in some of the images of the sunbeams coming through...

It was hard to pick just 25 images, but here are some of my favorites from this past year. Each one has a story and memories wrapped up in it and it’s been fun looking back at what I had the opportunities to shoot this year! I’m so grateful to the Lord...

In June, I went to Cape Coral, Fl, to photograph the burrowing owls that live there. It’s the only place in Florida (that I know of) that has a concentrated population of them. Never having gone searching for burrowing owls before, my family was a little...

Myakka River State Park in May! It is spring and the season for fawns. It was fun to get up close and photograph several. There weren’t as many opportunities to photograph water birds this time until soon before we left. There were two limpkins (the birds...
