This is a heck of a way to eat your dinner in a snowstorm. This Red-breasted Woodpecker was at our feeder during one of the last snow storms.

During our recent record-setting cold spell I spent some time photographing the frost patterns on our bedroom windows. This photo was one of my favorites, reminding me of peacock feathers or etchings on fine crystal.

This photo was taken in September of 2013 from my back patio door in our newly constructed home in Pingree Grove. The birds taking flight against the sunset back ground created a great photo op.

This is the first year I´ve realty noticed these beautiful ice crystals on the insides of my garage windows. The patterns are quite intricate, and like people sometimes see objects in the clouds, I´ve seen all kinds of things in the arrangement of these.

This photo of the Burj Khalifa was taken on New Years Eve in Dubai UAE during a visit with my family. It has always been my dream to visit the Burj Khalifa and after checking out the view of Dubai from the 124th floor I was able to get this photo the next day during the fire works celebration. The fire works were coming right out of the Burj Khalifa.
