  • Coyote Growth Spurt

    They sure grow up quickly! I’ve started to recognize a few of the Coyotes in Point Reyes, especially the more bold and curious ones. I first photographed this one in early September when it was still a coltish adolescent with fine fur. Two months later I saw it again in the same area. It’s still…

  • Fixing Borderless Printing Issues on Epson SureColor P700 and P900 Printers

    I occasionally make cards from my photos. One of my favorite papers for cards is River Linen by Red River Paper. It’s got a good weight and a nice surface texture embossed during the manufacturing process. The paper works great for designs with or without borders, but I like the borderless look. While working out…

  • Evening Hunt

    A badger returns to its burrow after trundling around a field on an early morning hunt.

  • Hanger

    This juvenile Great Horned Owl is due to be sent packing any day now, but in the meantime it’s still begging its very indulgent parents for food every night.

  • Coyote at Sunset

    Just as the sun was getting ready to set while I waited for another animal to make an appearance, this coyote stopped by for a visit.

  • King of the Shore

    A Spotted Sandpiper lords it over the Least Sandpipers from the top of some riprap.

  • Red-Shouldered Hawk in the Rain

    In my last post, I extolled the virtues of sunset photography. Rainy days are right up there for me as well. Dramatic scenes, feathers and fur sculpted by the water, and no crowds. I’m not sure this red-shouldered hawk was loving it quite as much as I was.

  • Tule Elk Sunset

    This Tule Elk bachelor silhouetted against the twilight was the perfect finish for an amazing weekend of photography at Point Reyes. Sunny days mean I can’t stay out all day getting useable photographs, but there’s no substitute for the feeling of finding and capturing a subject as the sunset crescendoes and then fades away to…

  • California Quail Celebration

    The coyote brush is in full bloom at Point Reyes. California Quail roost under the twisty woody branches of the coyote brush and then perch up top to scan for threats.

  • Blue-Eyed Coyote Face-Off

    Face-to-face with a blue-eyed Coyote. This was taken at 250 mm. I watched this coyote circling a pond. As he came back around, he headed right towards me. I got all the way prone, zoomed out, and photographed him as he passed within 6 ft of me. It’s like I was part of the scenery—such…
