Bird Gallery #3

If you haven’t seen my other bird galleries they are listed on the menu at the top of the website.

I have over 7,000 bird portraits of 150 species which includes; bluebird, cardinal, woodpeckers, goldfinch, hummingbird, blue jay, owl, warblers of all kind, wrens, titmouse, thrush, mockingbird, phoebe, tanager, oriole, fly catchers, birds of prey, and many others.

I’m no longer offering prints for sale. If you’d like to a high resolution image for your personal or business use, please contact me. It’s very affordable.

I’m also available for workshops and presentations.

Oh, and here’s a link to my set up.

Since beginning this new found love of bird portraits, I would’ve never thought in a million years I’d receive such wonderful support and kind words from “friends” all over. Many of the comments aren’t about the image per se, but rather how the image makes them feel. And, that makes it worth it! Here are a few brief comments.

This makes my heart so happy. I think of my late husband whenever I see a cardinal and this one brought me to tears. Thanks for sharing your talent.Anita
The word is out that you are the premier bird photographer and they all want their portrait done.Darlene
You’ll never out do that one! You hit the lottery.Barbara

It’s not often that a set of birds’ personalities are captured and portrayed. Great pic!Lila

I really couldn’t identify birds at all because I was never interested, that is, until I discovered your awesome pictures and have come to have an appreciation for birds like never before.Sherri
You have become my favorite bird photographer.Stephen
It so perfect it almost doesn’t look real! Dorcas
With stage 4 lung cancer I’m unable to get out and enjoy nature. Your photos bring me such joy and peace every day.Sheryl
Spectacular! As always. I want to be you when I grow up in my photography skills.Mary

100 Years of Hurricane Data

After the recent devastation caused by hurricane Helene I started looking at some raw data on the NOAA website. I decided to download 100 years of data, put into a spreadsheet, then extrapolate the information. What I found was very interesting so I thought I'd share some of that data with you.

Standing alone

Kathleen and I walk early in the morning. Since school started we've been walking past high schoolers waiting for their bus. In one of the small groups standing at a corner we noticed five girls. One standing by herself and a group of the other four.

Flawless

A favorite song of mine is Flawless by MercyMe. I'll share the lyrics below. I always enjoy seeing a newly emerged butterfly from its cocoon. In essence they are "flawless." Not a mark on them. Such was the case today as I saw this tiger swallowtail blow through our garden.
