Challenge on Nature Photography

December 20, 2015  •  Leave a Comment

I was nominated by our friend John Hopkins to participate in the "Challenge on Nature Photography" (‪#‎challengeonnaturephotography) on Facebook. I posted one of my nature photos every day for a week. Since these images are some of my favorites, I thought I would put them in a gallery on my web site to share with folks who don't have access to Facebook. I also added the commentary for each image to the caption.

Day 7 - Great Gray OwlDay 7 - Great Gray OwlGreat Gray Owl, Yosemite National Park
Day 7 of the ‪#‎challengeonnaturephotography‬. I'm dedicating my final photo of the challenge to the memory of Rich Stallcup. Rich spotted this Great Gray Owl early one morning perched on a snag at the edge of a meadow near Crane Flat in Yosemite National Park. We didn't know at the time that this would be one of the last trips we would take with Rich - he passed away a few months later. In addition to being a great friend, he was my mentor as a naturalist and was responsible for rekindling my passion for nature photography. He touched the lives of literally thousands of other people in similar ways. Today is Rich's birthday, so it seems fitting to post this photo of that Great Gray Owl...
