Continue reading →: Eagle’s Landing
After a successful shoot at Whitewater Draw, I wanted to check out the eagles in Pinetop / Lakeside. Generally, their season is between November through March. But, as with all wildlife, they don’t follow a precise schedule and don’t necessarily indulge in our guidelines. I have previously enjoyed watching eagles…

Continue reading →: Birds a feather…
What do they say? Birds a feather flock together. That is no more true than at Whitewater Draw, where thousands (we heard numbers anywhere between 20,000 and 47,000) sandhill cranes flock to this lush marshland in southern Arizona. But it’s not just sandhill cranes. The area is rich with all…

Continue reading →: Weather Promises
We had been promised snow on multiple occasions. They said we’d get 1 – 3 inches during the day, and 4 – 6″ that evening. Not to be that day, or the next, or the one after that. I never thought I’d say it, but I’ve come to like the…

Continue reading →: Christmas on the Beach
Sometimes when you need a distraction, you have to do something different. It’s been a difficult year for us, so we decided a change of scenery for the holiday was in order. We thought some beach wildlife was just the thing… and we knew just the place. Only 30 miles…

We love our deer, particularly when they bring their babies by! Ever wonder the difference between white tail and mule deer. I know, probably not. Living in the mountains, we have had to learn the difference. Living in the valley, we never knew there was a difference. Oh, how our…

Continue reading →: Fall has Fallen
With the recent cold blast (we saw it as low as 22F) and the intense winds, we thought we better check out the Fall Colors to see where we were. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that the fall colors were mostly on the ground rather than on the trees.…

Continue reading →: East Clear Creek
With all the rain we just got, we hoped to get some low hanging clouds and fog hanging in the trees along East Clear Creek. The bridge across the FR 95 / 96 Road had lifting fog as the sun tried to break through, and didn’t disappoint. Fog streamed down…

Continue reading →: Mingus Mountain
It’s always fun exploring new areas. We had never been to Mingus Mountain, so decided with weather coming in… it was a good time. The campground is pretty developed, and was fairly full. But it was quiet and had a series of trails behind each campsite offering terrific views of…

Continue reading →: North Rim, Grand Canyon
We frequent the North Rim of the Grand Canyon much more than the South Rim, in large part because we don’t actually enter the park. We are able to enter the outside of the Park boundaries where we can camp and mostly enjoy great views in solitude. I will admit…

Continue reading →: Vegas Revisited
While we have been to Vegas in the last couple years, we haven’t stayed on the strip in some time. So with the encouragement of a friend, we took a brief respite and stayed on the Strip. We aren’t huge gamblers, so we took the occasion to check out the…
