  Encounters with various sorts of creatures, all beautiful in their own way, were among the highlights of our recent trip to Iowa and Wisconsin, including this spider in its web at Ledges State Park Madrid, Iowa (not far from Des Moines).

• Moon, September 27, 2015

  How could one resist photographing the moon on this special night, the night of the complete lunar eclipse? I was in Wisconsin for the big astronomical event.

• Yellow-rumped warblers

  Over the years, I have seen far more “Yellow-rumped” or “Audubon’s” than any other warbler species, and I’ve seen them from Florida to Arizona and California. Yet the pleasure in seeing these warblers with four yellow patches (on the throat, wings, and rump) never goes stale. These photos feature the same individual, perched on a…

• Laguna Beach sojourn

• Looking back: New and old photos

  I was looking through some photos that are up to a decade old today, because I remembered some of them fondly. Three cameras are represented here— a Konica-Minolta DiMAGE Z6 (2004-2008), a Fujifilm Finepix S6500fd, and my current Canon Powershot SX50 HS (with just a few shots between the Finepix era and the Powershot era…
