Flying Free
My oldest daughter was home for a visit between two stints with the Peace Corps in Zambia. We decided to visit my sister in Vermont for the weekend. She lives in a town on the Connecticut River, which creates a natural border between Vermont and New Hampshire, so we were able to visit museums and attractions on both sides of the river.

Seize Life.. Top Story - June 2021.
I have to be honest. I’m no professional. I love photographs and have lots of friends that have pursued photography on a much more professional level. However, I do love experiencing life and a huge part of experiencing it is the art of capturing it. The Latin word captura from the root cap- means ‘seized or taken’, and that is exactly what a photograph does; it takes a moment in time and allows you to take that “time” with you. We’ve all heard the expression “Carpe Diem” translated “Seize the day” and this aphorism captures the very essence of photographers everywhere. Whether professional, mere amateurs or a hobbyist, we live to seize the day by taking captive every fraction of a second we can; taking time as a prisoner of our affairs. This is how I seize my days. This is how I have captured my best moments with WILDlife.

The Bull and the Boy
The small canoe boats floating along the Ganges, the famous and sacred steps of the city of the dead’s riverside packed with pilgrims, tourists, book-readers and locals, a young small shoe-less boy peering over at his family, and what I can only describe as a gargantuan bull, all in one frame. This picture, and the voyage I had to take that led to me this moment, this fleeting moment, is one that needs a deep rewind.

Pollen Count
I live in the southern United States. You know the place where kudzu overgrows unwitting backyard lawn chair snoozers, where the humidity and the temperature are usually equal, creating air so thick you can see and swallow it and where insects grow to prehistoric sizes and intimidations.

Birds of a Feather
The Northern Cardinal A birder is a birdwatcher. As a young child, I became a bird watcher years ago when I was a member of the National Autobahn Society. One hot day after Mother's Day and before the arrival of the 17-year cicadas, I decided to do some gardening. A day earlier I had spotted a beautiful red bird with a crest and black face. A bird that I believed was a Cardinal. That bird inspired me to go outside. I hadn't engaged in many outside activities since the pandemic, but I had received my best inspiration and motivation to engage with the world again that day. I felt a little more comfortable engaging with nature. The one constant in this chaos of the pandemic has been the continuing cycle of nature. The seasons changed, the sun shined, the snow and rain fell, and the leaves of the trees still changed colors. When I spotted the bird the first time, with my naked eye I quickly grabbed my phone and quietly snapped a picture through my screen door. The next day I gathered up my materials for gardening and a few bushes I needed to plant. I also had a packet of wildflower seeds to plant to attract honeybees. the most important task at hand was to rid my garden of weeds. I had a bird nest above my awning, and they chirped most of the day. They kept me company.

My Soul's Echo
Passion is like wildfire it can spread through you coursing it's way endlessly. They say a photo can say a thousand words, but it's much more than that. Abandoned, left behind, and the strange it calls out like an echo to me, begging me to capture it's history. It might sound strange but when I look at a worn down place I see a story, what tales happened within it's walls? Then there's nature that always comes back to return what was left behind into the earth. A cycle of life waiting to be captured.
