Devils Tower Majesty

Devils Tower Majesty presents the towering monolith in striking black and white, revealing its unique textured columns against a sky alive with soft, drifting clouds. The surrounding trees and meadow ground the scene, offering a natural contrast to this iconic formation. This piece invites a moment of calm reflection while adding a bold, natural statement to your space.

"Nestled Guardians" presents a tender moment shared between a great horned owl and its young, nestled securely within an ancient tree's embrace. The contrast between the soft, downy feathers and the rugged bark highlights the delicate balance of nature’s protection.

These are animals from the Lazy 5 Ranch in Mooresville, NC. The adult and baby giraffe are so amazing to look at. They both want your attention. The adult Giraffe waits at the fence to get a chance to put his mouth in the bucket that you are holding, so that he can feel his stomach with food. The baby Giraffe is in a pen by himself. He waits on the children and adults to come and see him. He loves for everyone to pet him. These are two of the beautiful animals that God created for us to love.

Majestic Eagle

Post image 1
I captured this shot of this eagle on an a perch as it turned its head and gave me the eagle glare. I like the expression you get with birds of pray, again I was set off with my 800mm in a blind and the eagle was very content hunting and of course checking me out.

Come under my Wing

Post image 1
Hi everyone, Delighted with this new community feature and glad to be in this sub community, this was a lovely moment at a local reservoir where the mute swan reached up to stretch it's wings as as the other swam by I waited until it got to this position to create the look as if it was being cuddled under the wing.

Cardinal Delight

I captured this male cardinal in an evergreen a day after a slight snowfall so the trees held so snow. I love the contrasting colors, your thoughts

Feathered Elegance

I captured this pheasant as it walked into my butterfly garden. I was in a ground blind shooting smaller birds that day, and the pheasant, always a skittish bird walked right into my area without a concern or aware I was there, a first for sure! what a fun day with a wonderful bird!

Cheeky

Just had to contrast this guy with the Moose Stare also on this community. That one is probably more 'real' but I love this guy's cheeky grin. It gives a bit of fun to an animal I'd never want to be too close to.

Redwing Reverie

After a short convo with Patrick, I put together a test case based on his thoughts as a model for a series I will feature on my web page. This takes its inspiration from the Audubon books. Thoughts, comments or controversies?

I captured this image of a pine martin in northern Minnesota as it was coming out of a stump, very cute but a very effective hunter.
