      I have been privileged to spend time with many amazing creatures  The images on this site are my attempt to record unique moments during my time with them.  All animals in the images are wild, free roaming and not baited. Hopefully these images will, in some small way,  inspire an appreciation of nature, wildlife and wild places.  I invite you to view the images. Clicking on a thumbnail on the Gallery page opens that category and will allow you to scroll thru the images associated with that category. Clicking on the ‘i’ symbol on the top left of each image will display a caption.  Enjoy!

I will leave you with my favorite quote about wild life —

“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.”― Henry Beston, The Outermost House: A Year of Life On The Great Beach of Cape Cod
