I’ve been enjoying taking photos of the various birds that visit my yard. The most common have been the dark eyed junco, chestnut-backed chickadee, varied thrush, red-breasted nuthatch, and of course our crows and stellar jays, but my favorites are probably the cute little downy woodpeckers.
I’m looking forward to another awesome year in 2023 but thought that it would be appropriate for me to share a few of my favorite photos from 2022. Sometimes a favorite photo may not be the best photo, but when it’s coupled to the experience the resulting photo means more. The photo becomes more personal. And so while you’re looking at these photos please keep in mind that these are my personal favorites.
Every Autumn in the hills around Mount Hood the vine maple always put on a colorful show. They will turn a beautiful red and yellow in color

Nap time. It’s a hard job being a little puppy. Naps are required between running in circles in the yard, playing with her toys
Hazel has had an interesting few days. She got to meet gramma, my mom. She has learned about tractors
I have been asked to make some Hazel Calendars, I have to order a minimum of 25 to make this happen. So far I have five orders.
I write a column for my local newspaper and I decided to discuss losing Betty and gaining Hazel. I discuss my approach to how I photograph her
