Last Photo Shoot of 2017

My last outing of the year... Tomorrow is supposed to be cold and miserable and I'll be too tired anyway. It was beautiful out this morning and the sunrise was amazing so Big Dog and I quick loaded up and headed for the trail. Today my diligence was rewarded with the amazing spectacle of a … Continue reading Last Photo Shoot of 2017

Getting Ready

Something weird I noticed this week, from my collection of random observations... I absolutely detest getting ready for work, getting cleaned up, looking for my dress pants, finding my badges, tool kit, ID, all the things I need for work.

So... there was time for a healthy breakfast of coffee and some discounted do-nut balls from Walmart that I … Continue reading Deer Herd Adventure

Teach Us to Profit

Again today I awake early in the morning just as I did yesterday, stunned that it is possible to feel so terrible so early. It has been a long dry spell in the picture taking business, so many miles on the trail with so little to show for it. I have heard it said many … Continue reading Teach Us to Profit
