Early morning is the best time of day to go kayaking on the North Canadian River. The low-lying mist sits on top of the river as the sun jumps into the sky above. The reflection of the sun's rays on the surface of the water serve to highlight the beauty of the day. The only noises you hear are the ...

I don't know if you've ever had any experience with taking nature photographs or not. Sometimes the picture just comes to you. Maybe it's a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Other times it helps to have a little "incentive" to help get that perfect picture. You know, sometimes it helps to bait the bird. ...

Unless you wake up before the crack of dawn, there are many things you will probably end up missing in the world. The arrival of the morning sun, the fishermen as they bring in their early catch, the glistening of the dew on the flowers and my new favorite, the gathering for an early morning meal at the fish market in Vietnam.

Cross my little heart, it wasn't me. I may be a squirrel, but I don't usually take things other than nuts, bird feed and maybe a few berries now and again. Now if you had put out a bowl of nuts, then I would probably be your culprit. But a bowl of candy? Not my style. Did you check with ...

When we look at the world, we often see only what we want to see. One of the wonders of infrared is that it can allow us to see a whole new, somewhat surreal world around us. Take this infrared photo of Cambridge for example. It shows all the "standard" buildings, trees, benches, etc. but by viewing in infrared a ...

Don't try to tell me I'm not 100% dedicated to the team. Didn't you watch our last game? And where do you think the swelling on my face came from? That ball came at me faster than I could react and before I knew it I was taking a facer for the team. I know, I know...it was supposed to ...

Taking a camel trek into the Arabian night has its magical moments too. It's not all long, hot days and dreams of distant oases. At night, as the sun sets in on the horizon, the caravan of camels makes their way through the barren desert and the night takes on a whole new life. A cool breeze settles in making ...

I'm always hearing people talk about being nature photographers, but I don't get it. How can they really be nature photographers? Now if you're looking for a true nature photographer, I'm your bird. I've always wanted to be a nature photographer and you have to admit, I'm perfect for the job. Who else could have my kind of perspective? So ...

One of the wonderful things about books is they always have new surprises in store. Simply opening the pages of a book can lead you into a whole new world. The sights you can see, the adventures to be had, between the words on the page and the extent of your imagination, not even the sky can limit you. Turn ...

Last night I had one of the clearest dreams I've had in a long time. I was dreaming of Das Matterhorn. I wasn't daring to scale it or even attempting to get too close. I was simply admiring it from afar. A beautiful mountain peak standing tall and strong in the distance, perched high above the Swiss Alps. A sight ...
