Piece description from the artist
For this image, I made a spring visit to Florida to find the only sandhill cranes in North America that don’t migrate. These cranes nest and raise their young in the same place they live year ‘round. Orlando Wetlands park is a good place to find a variety of nesting water birds. The area features trails and a boardwalk that brings visitors close to nature. After side-stepping a sunbathing alligator, I was able to observe this sandhill crane colt staying close to its mother while feeding.
After a career as a photographer and visuals editor in newspapers, I decided to focus on documenting the natural world. I hope my images can not only bring others joy but also create a better understanding of the beauty and life around us.
During my career, my photos have been published in regional and national magazines including National Geographic Traveler, U.S. News & World Report, New Mexico Magazine, Popular Science, and Albuquerque Monthly; and in books and calendars by National Geographic Books, Falcon Press, Rio Nuevo Press, Sierra Press, Landmark, Sierra Club and others.
