How The Kindness Of A Stranger Kept Me From Giving Up Photography
Western Scrub Jay Framed By Snow-covered Pinyon Pine

Two Years Ago Today – Damn, It Was Cold!
My images can be similar to a weather diary and our recent unseasonably warm temperatures made me curious about the weather on this date in previous years so I did some image research.
White-crowned Sparrows – Juvenile and Adult (some in the snow)
White-crowned Sparrows are often described as “elegant”, especially as adults and I would have to agree.
