Viking River Cruise Across Europe : We traveled from Budapest to Amsterdam aboard the Viking Danube riverboat, stopping each day for a tour of a town or city along the way. We traveled on the Danube, Main and Rhine Rivers and the Main - Danube Canal and Rhine - Amsterdam Canal, passing through 68 locks along the way. Our journey took us to to five countries: Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands. I hope you enjoy my photographs of the trip.

Texas Butterfly Festival - Mission, TX : These are some of the butterfly photographs that I took while attending the Texas Butterfly Festival in Mission, TX. The festival was held October 22 - 24, 2009. During the three days, I took group guided field trips to the The Edinburg Scenic Wetlands Center in Ediisnburg, Bentsen Rio Grande Valley State Park near Mission, the North American Butterfly Association (NABA) International Butterfly Center also near Mission, Estero Llano Grande State Park near Weslaco, the Frontera Audubon Nature Center also in Weslaco, The Old Hidalgo Pumphouse State Park in Hidalgo, and one day was spent on a private ranch "Rancho Lomitas" near Rio Grande City. All of these sites are in the Texas Rio Grande Valley and are are excellent birding locations as well. I photographed about 60 species of butterflies during the trip. I hope you enjoy my photographs.

Corpus Christi - ABA Conv. - April / May 2009 : These photographs were taken while attending the American Birding Assoc. convention in Corpus Christi, Texas from April 27 to May 2, 2009. The photographs were taken at several locations all within 100 miles of Corpus Christi. This was during the peak period for bird migration, where many birds are moving from their wintering grounds to their breeding grounds further north and the resident birds are nesting. At this time, most of the adult birds have a fresh set of feathers and displaying their finest breeding plumage, making for many great photographic opportunities. Hope you enjoy my photographs.

Your Bio

I live in Baytown on the upper Texas Coast. I am a retired Chemical Engineer. I worked for ExxonMobil in polypropylene & polyethylene plastics manufacturing and process technology development. My favorite hobbies are bird watching and nature photography, which I combine with travel to interesting places. I'm now using a Canon 50D digital camera. I use a Canon 100-400mm L, image stabilized, zoom lens for most of my bird photography. I used a Tamron 18-270mm zoom lens for butterflies, and most of my travel and family photography. I hope you enjoy my photography.

Many of my nature photographs are taken at the Baytown Nature Center and the Anahuac NWR.
