This week I had hoped for a great sunset this evening because we had a rain storm last night. Unfortunately it never happened. I was able to capture a Swainson’s Hawk on one of those ‘AREA CLOSED BEYOND THIS SIGN’ signs. Oddly I have been trying to get a shot like this for the past 4 years. He flew away, right past my open window, but I wasn’t fast enough.
Saw this Great Egret as he was crossing the road. He flew away and turned towards my van! I got one shot…
I post all of my new nature pictures, random thoughts, and even my family pictures here. Some of those pictures never get posted to my online nature gallery. So I encourage you to subscribe to my blog with updates and new pictures via e-mail. If you would like to purchase a photo from my blog, feel free to contact me.

And a great shot it was. Perfect!
Mike, you truly have a GIFT for photography! I love your photos of Wildlife, Birds, and Landscapes. You are a wonderful example of the Triumph of the Human Spirit. I also love taking photos of these subjects, but haven’t done so in some time. You’ve inspired me to get back out into nature and shoot some photos. Thanks a million!
