exploring nature’s infinite connections
This last trip to Little Cayman was the first time I ever spent some decent time with Stingrays. We saw them perhaps on 4 or 5 dives - essentially whenever we were diving near a sandy area. One thing I was amazed with is the grace with which they glide over the...
As I was editing some images this morning, all I kept thinking in my head is "Thank you glaciers for providing such nice subject matter!" It was a reminder that the Great Lakes region is filled with rugged coastlines courtesy of the glaciers that receded from here....
In continuing some posts about my recent trip to Little Cayman, I thought I would share a few shots of small fish from the reefs I visited. Small fish can be quite interesting characters. I view them as being from one of two groups as far as their personalities -...

Soon my wife and I will be returning to the Cayman Islands for this year's dive trip. It is hard to believe how much time has past since we were last there. I checked my photo database, and our last trip was to Cayman Brac back in November 1999. I was still...
I had some more time to spend in the field this past weekend getting to know my D800. I ventured into a new section of woods along the Clinton River, about 20 minutes drive from my house. I immediately saw some high densities of color in the distance which...
