Iron Butterfly
The monarch butterfly is in trouble. Their numbers have declined 90% over the past 20 years due to a combination of land development and the widespread use of pesticides and weedkillers, which has decimated the population of milkweed – the monarch’s only food source.

Onaqui Wild Horses
I live in Utah where there are several herds of wild horses that are managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Over the years I have seen many photos of these beautiful animals. I finally decided it was time that I took the trip myself. I loaded up my camera filled my car with fuel and made sure my tires were aired up (the road out to this area is rough and has a reputation for causing flat tires), told my family where I was going and to come find me if I didn’t get home by 8:00 PM.

The Beauty Of Wildlife Photography
I have always had a love for photography. Growing up, I took classes and played with old film cameras. It wasn't until my mid-twenties that I was able to truly pursue photography, and what started as a childhood hobby went on to be my greatest passion. I've been lucky enough to photograph many subjects. I've shot portraits, landscapes, vehicles, and architecture, but nothing compares to the beauty that is photographing wildlife. It an almost magical feeling that fills me with more joy than I can possibly describe. I've always had a love for nature, but photography has given me so much more of a desire to work with it and capture the beauty of the animals we so often take for granted.

Photography
When I snap the shutter of my camera. It takes time to find what I plan on shooting. When I take a photo trip my day is planned on where I will go. I have gone to places expecting to get a story and have left with nothing. then there are times I just bring my camera just incase and have filled half a memory card (500ish photos). My vision is unclear I look for something that no one else sees. Sometimes it is easy sometimes not. The story can be ugly or beautiful. I have thousands of shots not all good however I can tell you where most of them were captured.

Hello, Bear!
I hope I see some bears while I’m here. That was the main thought in my head as I pulled into a long dirt driveway in the backwoods of northern Minnesota. I’d flown to Minneapolis-St. Paul from Boston, rented a car, and driven the rest of the way. It had been a long day, and the late afternoon sun slanted through the branches of the surrounding trees.

Here Birdy Birdy
In my previous article: I talked about my squirrel friends. Here we look at my bird friends! This was recorded with my iPhone tucked away between a tree branch...notice the epic fail at the end as it falls (thankfully into a soft pot of soil LOL).

Backyard Critters: Squirrel Edition
My favorite way to relax, is to sit in my kitchen chair, sip my coffee and watch my backyard friends munch away on their seeds. When I first lured a squirrel into my backyard, with an ear of corn, I was jumping for joy. For some reason these creatures have always fascinated me. I was determined to get as close as possible and hoped he (or she) would eat from the palm of my hand. We're still working on that part...

Mischievous Macaw
I wish I could say that this photo was taken on some grand, wild adventure. But alas, I met this incredibly talkative and cheeky macaw at the Naples Zoo in Florida. It wasn’t the first time we had met; I grew up visiting this zoo and there was always an assortment of rescued birds who called the zoo home.

Merry, Merry King of the Bush is He.
Most people are familiar with the iconically Australian sound that is the cackle of the Kookaburra. There is nothing quite as "Home among the Gumtrees" as sitting on your back verandah on a warm afternoon and hearing the symphony that is a mob of Kooka's echoing from the bush.
