This is one of my favorite outdoor shots and it was a total accident. I snapped off a couple of photos of the doe and never knew her baby was behind her until I downloaded the picture. The yearling is a dozen yards behind the doe…posed just like her mama.

In Orange Beach, Alabama, I live only a 20 minute drive from Pensacola Naval Air Station, home of the Blue Angels. This is not an unusual sight in our neighborhood. The “Blues” practice over us several times each week!

I love to look closely at something…then, closer still. This is an extreme close up of the scales on a Red Snapper. I think it would make great wall paper!

I know it looks like a cartoon drawing—that shape, those shades of blue—but it’s a Little Blue Heron. Not exactly rare, but this was the first one I’d ever seen!

In Orange Beach, we have a White Christmas every year. Yes, it IS sand, but it’s white!

Orange Beach, Alabama. I set up my camera every morning below the nest to finally get this shot of Mama Owl and her babies. I must say, she never seemed very happy with me.

Triplets! Their mom was just out of camera range. She looked too tired to pose for a picture anyway. Triplets, ya know...

It was 30 degrees. I was up in a tree stand waiting to photograph some animals. Right at dark, God showed up instead.

I like sunsets, but sunrises are better. There are always fewer people, so you can soak in more of the colors by yourself!

We were in Sitka, Alaska when I caught these two in the top of a Christmas tree. Every time I look at this picture I think, Sheesh…they always look mad!

A corn crib at the edge of a clearing on some land in Clark County, Alabama. It dates to the 1870s…so it’s around 150 years old.

In Seattle, they call it a Seahawk, but everywhere else it’s an osprey. I had just stepped out the back door with the camera in my hand when this guy flew over!
