| Nature Club Announcements: New and Good news! For quite awhile I have had many people in the Nature Club ask me about workshops. I now have them available for you! I am currently offering one on one workshops OR if you prefer to work with a friend or two and form your own mini group, I have that option available too! All workshops are available as as morning shoots, afternoon shoots, OR all day shoots. Information about photography workshops here. I also provide photo review and consultation via phone or email. ... More New and Good news! I have made gift certificates available on my website. Often I have people buying art for a friend or family member for a birthday or Holiday. But sometimes it's hard to know which image to buy. I hope to make it easier on those of you who simply want to let your friend or family member to decide.

| The Key to successful Wildlife Images is Patience, Committment, and Passion. Absolutely technical know how, knowledge of one's equipment, and an eye for art is essential. But it is these first three elements that mark the difference between good and great. Kristen Westlake, 2007 My thoughts in the Field: This Blue Jay fledgling is being fed by parent. I found this cute little fledgling on the ground early in the morning. I was afraid that the parents were not feeding him, as I could hear them coming in to take care of the other fledglings that had been more graceful by making their first venture from the nest to a perch in a tree. I watched and waited and finally I took but just a second of time to gently pick this little Jay up (with unscented gloves) and put him on a branch. He clung thankfully. As I set up my 600 mm (far enough from the young Jay so that I would not disrupt) the baby started to call out to his parents. Soon this parent came in. I was so happy that this little guy would be taken care of that it brought tears of joy to my eyes.There were about 30 - 40 minutes between feedings and I stayed for many of them. But the light got harsh as the morning wore on and out of all the shots this was the ONE. |
