and McMillan Mesa Together, these are adjacent places of ever changing beauty throughout the day and seasons. As you can read here, Buffalo Park is also rich with history.

Outdoors with a Sony camera

Cloudy skies shot with Sony gear Between Wednesday and Friday (1/15 and 1/17/23) I did some “higher learning”– focusing high in the sky, and I felt like I was taking a college course, learning a bit about Sony mirrorless camera and lensl. Specifically, I rented an a7R IV camera with 100-400mm lens. I thoroughly enjoyed…

Free: Three versions of bumblebee at white vetch flowers

I am loving giving some of my photos away on Pexels.com, with the understanding that those who are inspired to do so will make a contribution to this extremely dedicated photographer, photo editor, videographer, etc. Here are three versions of a photograph of a tricolored (Hunt’s?) bumblebee hovering by white vetch flowers.

Hi! Many of my photos are now downloadable, free, here— https://www.pexels.com/@jim-wilce-423947101 I love shooting, and I love sharing what I shoot.
