Introducing "Ferry Tales with Mount Rainier", my latest image to share. This monochromatic landscape photograph, a deviation from my wildlife images, captures the grandeur and timelessness of nature.

The majestic mountain, with its snow-covered peak towering above the clouds, is the centerpiece, accompanied by a calm body of water reflecting a gentle light. A ferry gracefully crosses the water, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The densely wooded coastline forms a stabilizing base for the composition. I was truly inspired by the serene and tranquil beauty of this natural setting.

Creating this artwork involved carefully capturing these two icons from yet another Washington State ferry, waiting patiently until the ferry in the image was positioned to what I wanted against Mount Rainier. It was an incredibly lucky circumstance that the elusive mountain was not obstructed by clouds. I couldn't be happier with the result.

Introducing, 'Heron's Triumph.' This image captures the grace and precision of a great blue heron in a dynamic moment, showcasing its elegant profile and the shimmer of a caught fish. Because of the background conditions, I chose to substitute the textured backdrop to add some depth and allow the focus to be on the heron with the intent to highlight the heron's power and elegance.

I was really inspired by the heron's unique hunting technique , including the regular dunking of the fish into the water. I just had to capture this striking moment in nature.

“River Feast” is the latest image that I wanted to share as I’m really proud of how it turned out. This image captures the raw intensity and survivalist instincts of wildlife in their natural environment.

Can you tell me in the comments the difference between a brown bear and a grizzly bear? I know now but was truly surprised.

The focus is on this beautiful brown bear catching and eating a salmon, with another bear in the background to lend context and depth to the scene. The setting is the beautiful Brooks River just below the famous Brooks Falls in the Katmai Park Preserve.

It was inspired by the sharp large claws of the bear as it eats and devours its catch of the salmon. The capturing of the salmon by pushing the salmon to the shallow river bed, not an easy feat.

The process of creating this artwork was unique in that I wanted to convey the natural behavior of these beautiful animals in their habitat. I hope you all enjoy this new addition to my collection.

Introducing the image, 'Sovereign Sentinel'! This stunning photograph captures the regal beauty of the symbol of the USA, the majestic bald eagle. Capturing him perched on a tree branch with that intense focus as it scans for fish on the Haw River in central North Carolina.

The composition, lighting, and clarity truly bring out the majestic presence of this iconic bird. For me the aspect of capturing this image was how the eagle was positioned within the tree branches to create a powerful and beautiful compilation. I also was moved by the way the late afternoon sun lit the him leaving only a whishper of shadow to provide depth.
