Shenandoah

7.16.14-7.17.14 - I spent a few days in the Shenandoah last week. I managed to see a few bears, but they made it into the underbrush before I could get any shots off. The young boar wandered off lackadaisically, obviously unimpressed by my presence, whereas the sow bolted the second she saw me, cubs in tow. The deer were out in Big Meadows with their fawns, newly born since April when I was last in the park.IMG_6777IMG_8265IMG_8097IMG_8157IMG_8191IMG_8116IMG_8202IMG_8143

Eagles Of Alaska

6.10.14 - I was able to get a few shots of some bald eagles while kayaking along the coast of Hoonah, Alaska. The eagles with brown heads are still bald eagles; they just haven't reached maturity yet. Here's to the USMNT!IMG_6104IMG_6264IMG_6266IMG_6256IMG_6222IMG_6199IMG_6197IMG_6188IMG_6181IMG_6176IMG_6150IMG_6129IMG_6110

Deer Of The Shenandoah

3.31.14-4.2.14 - Let me start by saying I don't even like deer; I just couldn't find any other large animals to shoot (coughbearscough). I see so many deer in Charlottesville, Ivy, and Crozet that I usually don't think twice about these guys. In the absence of other interesting fauna, though, I tried my hand at photographing the deer. All of these were somewhere in or near Big Meadows.IMG_5362bw1IMG_5418IMG_5512IMG_5542IMG_5584IMG_5635
