Another EXPED photo shoot is in the books. I can’t share too many because some of the products won’t be available until March of 2024, but here are some of the ones I can post. Once again, I had the pleasure of working with Alex as producer/director/model. New to our team is Kara, who assisted on this shoot - and modeled very well!
Barred Owl Hunting Baby Robins /
At dusk the other day I drove by a barred owl perched on a wire. I quickly parked, jumped out and stood beneath it. Just after shooting the wire photos, it leaped into the hedge below and immediately flew out across the street to a perch in a tree. Because it was being harassed by multiple robins, I can only conclude that it was raiding a robin nest. It didn’t make a kill this time, but I wonder what has happened since. Were the adult robins able to fend off subsequent attacks?
Fern Forest on Bainbridge Island /
Sword ferns are everywhere in the Pacific Northwest, but there’s a ravine on my home island of Bainbridge that’s always caught my eye as I drive or cycle by it. The other day I bushwacked into the midst of this fern forest at dusk and shot some photos, among the midges.
Springtime on Bainbridge Island /
Our long walks in the woods have been fantastic recently. Springtime green is exploding everywhere and Kate has to put up with me stopping regularly along the way to shoot photos.
