I have enjoyed nature and it's beauty for as long as I can remember. Photographing it to share is a new hobby. I still have much to learn. Any helpful hints and constructive criticism is always welcome.


I will try to post new items weekly so check back. It is my pleasure to share nature's gifts with you. I find myself amazed at some of the beauty I find while out for a walk.

Pilated Woodpecker in Missouri


I was watching a red bellied woodpecker in a maple tree and caught movement about 50 feet above me. I was thrilled to see this male pilated woodpecker and get a quick picture. Usually the pilateds are very loud and you know when they are around. This one was completely quiet and I almost did not see him.
