Went for a week long backpacking trip in New Mexico’s Gila Mountain Wilderness back in August. Yup, ‘m a bit behind here, I know. The Gila’s are in the Southwest part of the state, and I highly recommend visiting. I’m a big fan of New Mexico but this was the first time I’d been to […]

Unlike flies, I do not taste things with my feet.
Acorn Weevil on a live oak acorn. This little buddy was on the same acorn for 2 days straight, I guess he or she had some serious drilling to do. Both genders feed by drilling into the acorn, and the females will lay eggs inside. Help me out here, because I’d love to know. It […]
Back to Anahuac
Birds! I took some photos of ’em, again, finally. I spent the last ten days near Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge (nice!). I was working (no camera with me) most of the time, but managed to find a little free time in between and I spent a day when I was done working running around with […]
Davis Mountains
The Davis Mountains, West Texas. One of the state’s sweet spots. Somehow this was the first time I’ve been out that way, and since I’ve been in Texas on and off for about 5 years, that’s sort of uncalled for. And this time I only spent one day there. I’d really like to check out […]
Froggers
I’m not going to lie, that first photo may be my new favorite. It’s like they’re posing for their family portrait in a studio. It’s ridiculous. Ridiculously cute, I mean. Come on! His hand is resting on the other guy’s shoulder!? Absurd. Thanks for being such laid back subjects, tree frog buds!
Baby Gators!
Baby gators! That’s all I got for now. I’m currently on the Texas coast doing a short gig. Not a whole lot of time for play and photos, but managed to snag a few. Love the gator babies. I did come close to falling in the water trying to get these, so much grass and […]
World Animal Day!
Oh hello strangers, been a while, eh? I’ve been a neglecting this blog for quite some time, apologies! I’ll attempt to be better about that. Here’s some old photos (I’m pretty sure I’ve posted most in the past) in honor of World Animal Day. I kinda dig the animal world, if that weren’t obvious…(from top […]
