This little male Costa's Hummingbird was quite the attention seeker. I was standing 12 feet away, taking picture after picture. He wanted to be sure I got him from all sides. This shot shows how they can puff up their feathers from time to time.

I'm lucky enough to live in one of the most beautiful areas of the United States - the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. I appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds me. My photographs tend to focus on birds, wild horses, coyotes, landscapes, sunrises, sunsets, and anything else that catches my eye. My goal is to capture images that people in other parts of the world may never experience. I try to show the wonder of the everyday things that some may take for granted. Once you start to explore the Desert Southwest, you'll begin to realize just how colorful it can be, and how plants and animals find a way to use whatever is available to them to survive.
