A solitary tree is positioned on rocky terrain, with a backdrop of a steep, reddish-brown hillside under a clear blue sky. The scene conveys a stark, arid landscape.

Aerial view of a vast, arid landscape featuring cracked earth, patches of salt flats, and varied textures in muted colors of brown, gray, and pale blues. The terrain appears dry with winding patterns and shallow depressions.

Some days... many days to be honest... this is what wildlife photographers face... subjects that are least interested in posing for a good shot and walk away from their responsibilities - much like what I do - walking away from responsibilities to go out birding […]

A small bird is standing among tall green grass near water. The setting appears to be a wetland or marshy area, with the bird partially camouflaged by the surrounding vegetation.

I hope you all had a good time with family and gave your thanks for everything under the sun… It’s a new day, week […]
