I’ve been lazy in posting some of my new “finds”. Since the weather is nasty today, I thought I’d catch up with my latest photos.
This Mourning Dove was kind enough to land close by, a bit too close to frame the whole body.
Last year I saw one Black Phoebe in the trees and never saw it again. This year I saw a pair, a bit closer, but never landed in my “studio”. This was the best I could do.

I’m not a Butterfly Photographer, but I saw this Red Admiral Butterfly in my blind a thought I’d capture him…just because.

Awesome again!!
That last one is a white-crowned sparrow. These are stunning pictures, I love your photography.
Thanks Patti and Lynn.
The white-crown sparrow photo is incredible.
Thanks James.
So clear and so close…it is “darling” to view.
Also, takes my breath away while I gaze at His creation.
Again, congratulations John and thank you!
Hi Mike,
I read about you in Guideposts, and saw some of your photos which I thought were absolutely beautiful. I love nature, so here I am to see more of your photos. Are any of these for sale? I would like to purchase one of your photos.
God Bless,
Jessica
Jessica, I have a photo gallery that you can purchase my photos. If you want one of my non-gallery photos (from my blog), let me know which picture and size and I’ll let you know if it’s available.
