White Headed Buffalo Weaver I really loved this shot but could not squeeze it in before I left for Europe in March. So, here it is. A passerine native to East Africa, the 'buffalo' part of its name comes from…
Happy Friday everyone! It is cold and dark in Taos this morning. It rained in the night and might be snowing even now up on the mountain. Flowers in spring is one of the best things in life. Yellow spring…
Today delivered a fine surprise. On a calm, clear morning just after the crack of dawn, I was unexpectedly dumped into a large hot air balloon basket and flown 1700 feet over the Taos Plateau in northern New Mexico, down into the…
I was hunting a sunset shot as a small storm rolled over the Sangre de Cristos and colored the sky pink. Then I saw the cat on his own hunt among a group of sleepy horses. I'm not sure if…
I told you this week would be full of spring flowers. The weekend in Taos was fabulously perfect weather-wise. Here, a tulip, one among a group of tulips, waits patiently for the morning sunshine to reach over the fence. ##
I'm finally back and nearly home. I'll have more from France and Finland in the coming weeks. It is spring time in Colorado. Fabulous. I shot this hungry guy this morning on my father's lilac bushes in Pueblo, Colorado. He/she…

On Easter weekend, my friend John Mata (who introduced us to GIMP) and his family attended the annual Eggstravaganza festival at Santee Lakes, Santee, California. He says: "The weather was prime. We were with good friends. We had a great…
Ok. This wasn't today. It was last week. But I loved this place. It was stunning and I wanted to share this photo. The Gavarnie Cirque is a glacier carved amphitheater-shaped valley located in the central Pyrenees. This is a massive chunk…
The tourist shops at the base of Gavarnie are just opening for spring. The old lady was wrapped in a coat and sat in the sun. "Take what you want," she said. She waved her hand without looking at me…
It seems odd from here at Lady of Lourdes I attended Mass for the first time in 25 years. I must have gotten caught up in all the excitement of a service at Lady of Lourdes. Or, maybe it was…
I walked straight up the mountain out of Bagnères-de-Bigorre at noon. The last of the autumn leaves were so thick they were like ice under my feet where the trail went steep; which was most places. I saw a Bearded…
