The American Lobster resonates with vibrant colors When I took this photo, my hand’s were as cold as can be. Matt and I were diving off the coast of Maine near the Nubble Lighthouse, and the water temperature was about 42 degrees. I myself am susceptible to the cold, especially in my digits. My fingers […]
Golden-backed Snipe Fly
The golden sheen of its abdomen caught my attention This year I spent my birthday hiking in the woods at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is a park that we’ve visited many times on the Wild Boyz Photography site. Whether it was the photo of ice pressed against the shore in the July […]

Fremont’s Cottonwood
I saw this Fremont’s cottonwood bathed in sunlight When I came around the bend in the canyon, I saw this Fremont’s cottonwood bathed in the sunlight that was spilling over the top of the canyon wall. This isn’t the first photo from my hike in Hualapai Canyon. In previous galleries we saw Havasu Falls, a […]
Sitka Spruce
This sitka spruce was in Redwood National Park I took this photo while standing in a field of sitka spruce. The trees towered above me. I was overwhelmed by the sheer vastness of the trees that I saw. Being from the Midwest, I was shocked by the immensity of the trees in the Redwood National […]
Plumeria

Pine Needles

Lower Antelope Canyon Macro
Lower Antelope Canyon was formed by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone This is actually the second time that I have had a photo from Lower Antelope Canyon this year.

Virginia Spiderwort
This Virginia spiderwort had intricately detailed stamen I took this photo while out for a hike on my birthday at Eagle Creek Park this year. Matt taught me a technique a few years back for taking macro photography that I was playing around with all day. The idea is to first find a subject like […]
Haleakala Sunrise
We saw the sunrise at Haleakala on Jill’s birthday while on our honeymoon! The sunrise at Haleakalā National Park is something special. Not only was it a journey to see the sunrise, but it was also my wife’s birthday on our honeymoon! Talk about a special day! We got up bright and early–I believe it […]
