My hope for you in viewing my images is that you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed capturing them.

While I am honored when people want to hang a print of mine on their wall, it was not my main reason for creating this website.

Thanks for all the views, likes and comments on my prior last British Columbia post! I appreciate them all. Below is another handful of shots from that BC trip. As always, if you'd like to see more, I've updated my website ( www.scottgrothephotography.com ) a few times in the last year.

Enjoy!

Hello Everyone! Got some pics to share, finally.

Deb & I spent 10 days with our friends Terri & Mark where we slept aboard and cruised around the islands of southwest British Columbia on their beautiful 44' Nordic Tug, Andromeda. I had never done a trip like this before, and we had a great time. The weather and skies were variable, which makes for some great light and photography. However, I quickly realized how challenging shooting moving wildlife on a moving boat in windy and wavy conditions was going to be. Thank goodness for fast shutter speeds, gear with image stabilization, and my youthful cat-like reflexes and balance. 😆😆😆 Fortunately, the land and seascapes were easier to shoot than the wildlife.

Below are a few images from the trip. FB seems to balk at my large photo file sizes, so I'll see if I can send more pics out over the next week or so.

Enjoy!

Hi There,

Yes, it has again been a while since I last posted any pics. However, here are eight new images from a recent week long trip down to Duck Valley Indian Reservation on the Idaho/Nevada border. Had two good mornings when I got out well before sunrise on the kayak to get some of the best shooting light. Sometimes it's tough to pass up fishing early in the morning for photography, but I was able to make the switch for a few hours on two different days. Some of these are some wider angle shots and perhaps best viewed on a bigger screen.

Hope everyone is doing well and you enjoy what you see here.

This post is a bit different. Once in a while, I'm asked to do a photo shoot for a local business. I enjoy such shoots. They tend to "stretch" my photographic abilities and I usually learn something new that I can incorporate into my wildlife & nature photography. This shoot was no exception.

A Treasure Valley developer asked if I would be interested in photographing about 2,600 grazing domestic sheep on land around one of their developing properties. They were wanting such shots to depict a country living "flavor" for this particular property to be used in their promotional, marketing, advertising and social media materials. The shoot sounded interesting and challenging, as well. So, I said yes.

My goal was to photograph the sheep, rolling hills and open spaces along with newly built homes all in single photographs. Oh, and throw in a few cute lamb shots too. So, after several days of scouting and shooting, the developer liked what I delivered. I definitely enjoyed the work and the folks I worked with, including the developer's content strategist, the sheepherders, as well as the herding and sheep protection dogs.

Hope you enjoy a few shots of a little different "flavor". AND, Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!

Well, it's been a few months since I've posted anything. Deb & I have been "nursing" her broken foot (screws & plate required) since the first week of January. So, I haven't strayed too far from home for very long. She's well on the mend now, bearing weight on it and getting more agile every day. The few times I got out this winter looking for my favorite owls were a bust. Evidently, the extremely mild winter here didn't instill a great need to migrate to lower altitudes like most years.

I did get out last week north of Boise looking for Bald Eagles. I did find one of those on a nest, but got distracted by several Sandhill Cranes and Red-winged Blackbirds. The lack of a few clouds made for some harsh light, but I was happy to be out with the camera gear and a buddy. Yeah, we might get some snow yet, but I'd say Spring is here. After all, I'm already mowing and pulling dandelions.

Hope you all enjoy the shots!

I went looking for Great Grey and Barred Owls a few days ago. I didn't come across any, but it's a bit early to see them where I was looking. However, I did spend some time watching about a dozen Cedar Waxwings feeding on some crabapples. It didn't take long for two or three of them to finish a crabapple.

Hope this posts finds you excited for your holiday get-togethers with family and friends. Safe travels everyone and Happy Holidays!

Enjoy!
