The Watcher. The birds of the air are among my favorite things to photograph. This odd encounter occurred with an owl I photographed by a creek in a local park. I have been back many times but the spot where I shot this image just cannot be found. It is as if I was transported to a special place to shoot this little watcher of mine.

Peace. There are few things more peaceful to me than a lazy stream and the beauty of God’s creation.

Morning Sunshine. Some of the best shots you can ever imagine can be right outside your door. This little guy, recently hatched, was enjoying his birthday on my patio chair.

Dark Heron. Sadly, in an effort to make the park more “people pleasing” the city of San Antonio conducted an aggressive plan to frighten away, and otherwise force the relocation of, the large numbers of herons that used to next at the park. Photographers from all over, including yours truly, would go there to see the hundreds of beautiful birds.

“The birds are the saints, who fly to heaven on the wings of contemplation, who are so removed from the world that they have no business on earth. They do not labour, but by contemplation alone they already live in heaven.”

Just Humming Along. My wife is an avid gardener and has countless tropical plants, cactus varieties and other blooming flora that attracts countless humming birds each year.
