‘Piebald’ deer are a rare phenomenon, but to witness a piebald fawn - that’s a privilege! The unique coloration stems from a recessive gene, which must be present in both parents. The resulting coat falls between albino & typical patterning, with a variable mix of white-and-brown coloration. Piebalds make up an estimated 0.01% of the White-tailed Deer population.

This individual was a great case study in typical fawn behavior. Does leave their children “hidden” while foraging, to avoid leaving scent trails & alerting predators to their presence. This individual was as vulnerable as any I’ve ever seen. However, staying at a distance, I was treated to some adorable poses – including one standing attempt, but facing the wrong direction!

I did receive confirmation it had been re-visited by the momma & moved, yesterday evening. Happy trails, you beautifully unique creature! Thanks, Tim Jasinski 🙏

Once in a lifetime opportunity today! Check out this precious baby piebald White-tailed Deer. “Good photos” forthcoming 🙂

Nothing has taught me more about the power of serendipity than photography. Ran out the door this morning, contacts still holstered, knowing I’d already missed the best color the sunrise had to offer.

Arriving at Huntington, the lake conditions were as mild as the breeze, & the water a sheet of glass. It was absolutely gorgeous morning & I was grateful to be part of it, despite the lack of epic light. Regretfully walking up the stairs to head to work, a voice yelled out - “did you see the baby raccoon?” Jae led me to a cottonwood & pointed to about spot 50-ft up. As I focused a blind eye on the branch she indicated THIS came into focus. What an incredibly adorable scene - and one that I’d nearly walked past, and skipped out all together.

Life is just better when we all work together. 🙂

Whoa check it out! This swarm of honeybees is shopping for a new home. When the colony gets too crowded, the queen bee packs up & takes some of the workers with her. When she needs to rest on the journey, the colony crowds around her for protection. Once their ‘all cash, over-asking price’ offer is finally accepted, all will fly off together to their new digs.

It’s well-documented that pollinators and honeybees specifically are in serious decline. I haven’t come across one of these swarms in years. Now more than ever, it’s uplifting to see a sight like this!

The pride within would never allow me to post these results. BUT, the was AWESOME! The community aspect of our beloved city has never been on greater display. And the support from friends & family was overwhelming. Also overwhelming…the humidity on this particular day.

Would love to run this again & document all the scenery, great signage, & awesome aid & cheer stations all the way!

Located on Ohio’s southern edge, Shawnee State Park & Forest’s 68,000 acres includes the largest designated wilderness in the state. As one would imagine, some ridiculously cool critters inhabit this land. Had a great time tracking down a few (with Tim Jasinski).

Rise & shine Cleveland…we’ve got a Game 7! It doesn't matter how we got here...this is our moment to step up & be the best fans in the game. Let ‘em know (what we already know)!

Characterized by sandy soil, open woodlots, & dune ecosystems - the Oak Openings is a unique ecosystem native to northwest Ohio. The resulting biome is one of the most diverse in the Midwest. It was an honor to join the legendary Tim Jasinski here for a day of hardcore herping (searching for reptiles/amphibians)…and everything else which came our way!

Cryptically-named and iconic amongst outdoorspeople is the location simply known as ‘The Spot.’ Visited with my favorite adventurer (in practice & in life) & we tried to put our twist on a spot that’s been seen through many lenses. Looking forward to sharing some more photos from an epic 30-hr road trip to NW Ohio, this weekend.
