These two burrowing owls are the babies you can tell by the buff colored soft down in the front chest area. The babies are irresistible.

Black background burrowing owls are one of my favorite birds to photograph every spring for the past 7 to 8 years I go looking for these little amazing raptors. The most babies I’ve seen in one season from the one pair of parents is eight a large number for the little borrowers. I have several locations to go to. I love how this image turned out this is the female parent.
I was down Madera (Canyon) and a friend got a call from somebody that had a family of Bobcats living in their back ravine. And I went and there was a mother with four babies, and she went and got a rabbit and fed to the babies. But I took a lot of photos that day, and it was really cool. You don’t get those kind of opportunities in the wild very often, so that was very cool.
One of my favotire sunset images to date! I just love how the Ocotillos are blooming with a beautiful sunset sky in the backdrop. Fall in Tucson is one of my favorite times of year!

When I first started my photography journey, I was primarily photographing through telescopes. I would shoot galaxies, nebulas, planets, and starclusters! This is one of those images of M42 – The Orion Nebula. This nebula is the closest star forming region and is located 1300 light years away!

During the summer, we get what is called “Monsoon Season” where a lot of storms come up the gulf of mexico and into Tucson. During this season we get some incredible sunsets after the storms clear out. This is one of them!

Located way out in the Tucson desert where there is almost no light pollution, this scene was captured showing the bright milkyway over our iconic saguaros. This is my favorite milkyway image and has become one of my most popular.Â

This is probably my favorite snowfall image taken in Saguaro National Park East! I just love the cluster of Saguaros with snow on them!Â

This is one of my favorites. I just love how the Prickly Pears are bloowing on the cactus with the milkyway above! Photographed at Saguaro National Park West.
This image was taken in Saguaro National Park East one morning at the Broadway Trailhead location. I hiked in about 2 miles to find this composition at 3 am and just love how the moon created this epic glow above the Saguaros!Â
