Blue eyed cowboy.

Taken during the Nat Geo Santa Fe Photography Workshop at Eaves Movie Ranch. I swear this gentleman knew as much about the settings for natural light portraits as the Nat Geo photography pros teaching this class. This 'cause he'd been photographed SO MANY times by so many students. If this wasn't my favorite photo of the workshop it was certainly in the top two. But how can you go wrong with a blue-eyed cowboy?

Adolescent Osprey

We spotted each other while I was paddle boarding on the back waters of the Potomac River. The nest was located on an abandoned pier.

What size is his hunger?

The streets of Washington DC.

Red Hot Fungus

Found this little beauty right next to the trail at Huntley Meadows. It was less than 2 inches tall and had evidently only very recently pushed its way up through the soil.

Gotcha!

During the picnic following a wedding ceremony held along the banks of the Potomac River, I happened to look over and see this young girl taunting her uncle. I knew if I was patient, there would be an opportunity for a great photograph. And there was.

Dawn on Tadoussac Bay, QC

Ghost Ranch from overlook.

The routine was: climb a little, stop to gasp for oxygen, take a few photos, climb a little more, stop for oxygen, repeat. The hope for a great view kept me moving. I was not disappointed. You can just make out the buildings of Ghost Ranch in the valley below. Taken during the Santa Fe National Geographic Photography Workshop.

Piney Point Lighthouse, Maryland.

Covered Walk-way, Summer Palace, Beijing

Built in 1750 it is purported to be the longest covered walk-way of its kind in the world. There are more than 14,000 different pictures painted on its beams and crossbeams. During Mao's Cultural Revolution the locals were ordered to destroy or permanently deface it, but they instead disguised it in whitewash which was removed after Mao died.
