Birds, critters and a few scenes around northwest Louisiana

After a 25-year layoff from photography as a hobby, I bought a digital camera in early 2006 and became a beginning amateur all over again. New camera by my side, I discovered "birds" and "critters". They have kindled what I'll call a most pleasurable photographic challenge and experience.

Constantly listening and observing, I mostly photograph from my van window. Vehicles up close just don't spook wildlife like people do! With patience, perseverence, and familiarity with the inhabitants/habitats in an area, one has the ingredients for rewarding photos. Seize the opportunities.

When I miss an opportunity, I recall what a fellow photographer once wrote: "When you miss shots, laugh. When you capture great shots, thank nature for the opportunity" —Gil

Again, seize the opportunities that nature provides. I'm learning and catching up after 60 years . The relaxation with nature is a bonus!

Dave, it's been over 2 years now since you left us and a chat with a mutual friend on Facebook triggered memories, which is why I'm here...Remember C.J. Guess? Well, she's Christel W. Townsend now, and she said she used to chat with you via cellphone! Of course, we all knew each other way back in the DpReview days, when you, Mr. Zoom, Gil, John Reed, Bob Malbon, et al were reveling in the glories of the Fluzis and Tizzys. Well, CJ re-found the post at Fred Miranda when we were aware of how ill you were, and where we all honored your memory, and talents, with a few good laughs (your National Geocraphic covers, thanks for mine, buddy!) and a lot of sadness. But in the end I feel good that my life was enriched by knowing you, and being able to share our mutual love of photoraphy and birds. I see your best friend Billy thanked Patti Edens below for keeping your Zenfolio site active; she is a good person to do that. Well, I miss you, Dave, but I know that you and Lou Buscher are now filling memory cards up there, and hopefully looking down on a few Bald Eagle spots -- and your famous Greenie swamp.

We all miss you Dave. I wanted to thank Patti Edens for her sponsorship of Dave's website for this year. I know how hard Dave worked on this website and he would be glad to see his work continues to inspire us.
