Countdown to Daytona

With only 34 days left until the running of the #Daytona500 I thought I would share one of my favorite #NASCAR pictures from last year that doesn't have a car in it, and isn't even at a racetrack. For the race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway there is a hauler parade that takes place as the teams roll into town. All the transports gather at one end of "The Strip", while the police shut down traffic, and slowly, with all the glitz and flash of Las Vegas the eighteen wheelers roll through Sin City. The City of Lights celebrates a NASCAR weekend in its own special way. @Actionsports #ActionSports #MotorsportPhotography #SportsPhotography #LasVegas #Vegas #racing

2015 NASCAR rolls into Sin City

#WildlifeWednesday Grizzly Bear

Since #WildlifeWednesday is here again I wanted to share another picture from the DDD ranch in Kalispell that I was visiting last December. I must admit that in this picture the Grizzly does look fairly docile and friendly, but don't let that Teddy Bear look fool you. I don't know what I would do if I saw on of these while walking in the woods taking a hike, but let me tell you, running or climbing is out of the question. This powerful beast was fast and spry, which is hard to image for something the weighs anywhere from 5-600 pounds. #Wildlife #grizzly #wilderness #wildlifephotography #nature

#WildlifeWednesday Red Fox

To celebrate #WildlifeWednesday I thought I would share a picture I took last December at the DDD Ranch in Kalispell MT. This is a Red Fox, not to uncommon for me to see in Pennsylvania, often darting through traffic or across country roads late in the evening. The snowy background makes a great setting for the red coat. This furry little creature was playful and animated all during his "photo shoot".

A Little Spring Time in Winter

I got to spend a little couples time with my wife this weekend at one of our favorite locations, #Longwood Gardens.  For a photographer it's nature in overdrive.  The #Christmas display was still up but this was the first time this year we got to see it during the day.  The Day Lilies were a welcome sight as the cold weather is finally creeping into the Northeast. #Nature #Flowers #Garden
