Cacti and Their Flowers
Far from being the barren wasteland that many imagine a desert being, the Sonoran hosts a plethora of different lifeforms. A large number of these lifeforms are plants, and what plants are better-adapted to desert life than succulents? This desert is home to approximately 300 different cactus species, ranging in size from the tiny hedgehogs…
Hummingbirds
Some of the most spectacular birds to observe, hummingbirds can be found in practically any color of the rainbow. Their iridescent colors and lightning-fast movements make them extremely challenging, yet rewarding photography subjects. Although Africa and Asia have house stunning birds that occupy similar ecological niches, hummingbirds are exclusive to the Western Hemisphere. In addition…

Some images contain multiple creatures, none of which act as the main subject, while others contain those that otherwise lack a home among other albums. Magical ice crystals and shimmering droplets of water will eventually give way to geological…

The small cluster or single mushroom sitting above the earth’s surface is but a microcosm of the vast mycelium network which can cover miles of space, underground. This network provides a vital chain of communication, through which trees…
Arachnids
The animal kingdom’s arachnid class includes such creatures as spiders, scorpions, harvestmen, and ticks, as well as some outrageous oddities (such as vinegaroons and solfugids). These underappreciated creatures are often written off as pests, and dealt with as such. If one were to give pause to their persecution, however, one might consider how enriched our…
Mammals
As far as wildlife photography goes, mammals are probably one of the toughest animal classes to capture. This group comprises some of the most intelligent, impressive, and unfortunately, evasive species on the planet. From large herbivores, to rodents and relentless predators, this album has required untold time, effort, and occasionally risk. All subjects are wild…
