There's something powerful about watching a hawk settle into its perch silent, steady, and locked into the world below with a focus we rarely see in ourselves. Raptors like this one are incredible hunters, relying on keen eyesight that's up to eight times sharper than ours. I love capturing moments like this not just for the photograph, but for the reminder to slow down, observe, and appreciate the wildlife sharing our landscapes. If you enjoy seeing nature through the lens of a cinematographer and want to learn more about the stories behind the shots, follow along-there's so much more I can't wait to show you.

Last Supermoon of the year! Last night the moon appearing larger and brighter as it was at perigee (closest point to Earth). The next time it will be this close will be in 18.6 years!

Mountain Chickadee by the very low Blue Ridge Reservoir in Arizona. Beautiful area and a fantastic lake to paddle board!

A walking tank. Incredible to observe and photograph. This was my first time watching one cross the river. As I saw the Buffalo grazing about 200 yards off the river, I sat there in anticipation hopping it would cross the river at some point. If so, the one photograph I wanted was a big first step splash and still being able to see it's eye through the splash! While sitting editing it was exciting to see my vision come to reality! I love photographing wildlife! #yellowstonenationalpark

To capture the compositions I wanted, I had to walk it the very cold water! Oh so cold! Well worth it! #Yellowstone

I stopped and helped her... The first image looks down at the old ghost town of Independence, and the second image is Southeast along Independence Pass, located on the Continental Divide in Colorado.
*Long Post for me*
In the second image, in the bottom right, there is a road that continues to the small town of Twin Lakes. On my way to Twin Lakes, there was a woman who had hit an elk, and the front of her vehicle was smashed in, not working, overheated, towing a U-Haul trailer. She had tried to wave people down for an hour, but no one would help her. Looking defeated, needing help, and seeing a smashed-in vehicle, I stopped to help. I tried to get to the engine, I couldn't, it was to smashed in. We were miles from the closest town and had no cell service. So she could get a tow, I took her to the last place I had service. At that spot with 1 bar we couldn't get a call through. After hours of driving her around to get cell service, finding cell service, dealing with her insurance, and trying to get towing, no progress. I suggested that we go back to her vehicle and see if we can get it running again. Before I left cell service, I called my dad for another perspective. Thanks, Dad, for your insight and guidance! With my tools, my axe to bend the hood back into place, checking the fluids, battery, and cooling down the engine, we got it started! Not wanting her to get stranded again with an overheating vehicle, I followed her to her destination, stopping several times to cool off the engine with lots of water. After 70+ miles of driving and keeping her engine temps down, we finally made it to her destination and new place. It took just shy of 6 hours to help her and she was extremely grateful. She traveled solo, doesn't have family to help her when she needs it, like I do, and I don't take that for granted. I'm glad God had our paths cross when she needed help, and I was able to be the family she needed to finish her trip safely. Praying for your future!
We rarely know what someone is going through, but a simple act of kindness can completely change their life. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
