As the blog from our full-time RVing in North Americas says – serendipity strikes again. We visited Haines in Alaska for images of Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) but instead discovered all three species of Scoters (Surf Scoter, Black Scoter and White-winged Scoter) in this feeding frenzy. Oh how I love wildlife photography! Mother Nature is […]

As we approached the Thor Diesel Owners Club Rally I managed to carve out a day and a half to work on some images. Something I haven’t managed to do since the end of May – which is REALLY bad. But essential timing as I head to Anchorage tomorrow morning for a Moose & Northern […]

We are at the Dealership for “Tigger”, our 40′ diesel pusher motor home and one of the managers tells me that they had just finished clearing the pond and there is a couple of “nice ducks” on the water. So I head round there with my gear, but they are a pair of standard Mallards. However […]
