This is where I show the most recent images and talk about how they were made. The images typically relate to landscapes and wildlife, but I also blog about photos of highways and mitigation measures for wildlife or road ecology in general. Please contact me if you would like to use any of the images.

Montana: Starry night over a mountain lake

August 28, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

It is surprising how much light there is at night if you leave the shutter open for a minute or so. Here is an image of a star filled sky over a mountain lake.

Wildlife: running white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), Idaho, USA

August 14, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

This white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) doe took off running as soon as she saw me. I moved the camera along with the animal to blur out the back ground.

Abstracts: aquatic vegetation, Idaho, USA

Here are some black and white images of aquatic vegetation in a wetland in Idaho. I like the simplicity of the lines, their reflections in the water, and the relatively high contrast. Click here to see additional images of the aquatic vegetation.

Wildflowers: Salsify (Tragopogon spp.) seed heads at sunset, Montana

August 10, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

Salsify (Tragopogon spp.) are non-native and have spread through must of the western United States. These species have large seed heads that are quite noticeable. I created this image by shooting against the setting sun with open aperture. Click here to see an additional image of the salsify seed heads.

Montana: Thunderstorm and mammatus clouds

August 09, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago there was an impressive sky over the North Hills in Missoula, Montana. A thunderstorm was rolling in with some nice mammatus clouds while the setting sun threw in some nice light. For the image below I focused on the tree in the foreground and opened up the aperture to fuzz out the hill with the golden grassland. Click here to see more images of the clouds and the golden light on the hill.

Road ecology blog: do not discard food along roadside

August 08, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

This is an interesting road sign. Normally these types of signs tell people to not feed wildlife that may be begging for food on or alongside the road. Here however, people are urged not to leave any food behind. Apparently people leave crumbs or perhaps substantially more food when they use these pull-outs to eat. Click here to see more images of the sign. Click here to see more images of the sign.

Montana wildlife: Wolverine (Gulo gulo)

August 04, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

Wow.... a wolverine (Gulo gulo)! One of the rarest mammals of North America and all of a sudden it was there. It was all very quick and I scrambled to get my camera ready. Unfortunately there is quite of bit of unsharpness in the images as I was struggling to stabilize the lens, keep the animal in the viewfinder and still get at least some images and also actually see the animal with my own eyes before it disappeared over the ridge. Click here to see more images of the wolverine.

Road ecology blog: Bullock's oriole, (Icterus bullockii) roadkill, Montana, USA

July 27, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

Some birds are so brightly colored that you wonder whether that thing on the side of the road really was a roadkilled bird or perhaps some plastic garbage. I decided to stop and take a look. It was indeed a bird; a male bullock's oriole, (Icterus bullockii). Click here to see more images of the dead bullock's oriole.

Road ecology blog: Black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) roadkill, Montana, USA

July 26, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

The number of small birds that are killed by cars on our highways is often underestimated but they are likely in the millions per year. This is a black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) roadkill in Montana. Click here to see more images of the dead black-capped chickadee.
