This angler came across a ton of gators feeding on a school of fish in the backwoods section of Gator Country.

Would you drive right through them and keep on fishing or look for another location?

The recent heavy  rains in Mexico, thanks to Hurricane Alex, has led to a large amount of flooding in the RGV and surrounding areas. Richard Moore does another awesome job documenting the challenges this act of nature has presented to the wildlife that lives and breeds way down south. Enjoy and we hope the animals survive.

Summer Visit to Big Bend

July 21, 2010 July through August is supposed to be a good time to visit Big Bend National Park in west Texas to photograph the desert with big thunder clouds.  With that in mind, I spent four days last week in the park photographing with friend and landscape photographer, Joe Zinn.  The clouds were scarce, but we were amazed to find the desert green and full of shrubs and cactus in bloom.MORE

People are always asking how to take pictures of wildlife. What they really want to know is how to get close-up pictures of wildlife. I always tell them I cheat when it comes to getting good, close pict…

From May to July…

I posted a fresh workshop schedule last week.  It’s not complete…I hope to add something on Big Bend and hummingbirds, but haven’t nailed down the dates.  If any of you have an idea for a fresh venue, I’d be happy to try something new.  Does anybody want to do British Columbia next summer for loons and other birds?  We can do it at a great place.  They are just waiting for me to say the word.

On September 24, I will have a nature photography showing at the First State Bank in Uvalde.  The bank is huge and loaded with wonderful paintings.  If you are in the area, please do drop by, enjoy my wildlife and landscape prints and see the Bank’s great art collection.  I’ll have more details later.

Here are a few shots from recent outings around south Texas.  Remember, just click in the upper right portion of any photo and it will open to a larger, brighter, sharper view and then you can click through the show.MORE
