It’s spring time and the migratory birds are coming through or coming home 😍😍 Blue herons live in this area in the warm months - we’ve been seeing them return over the last several days.

A photography dream, or goal, of mine ever since I got back into photography, and especially into nature and wildlife, is to capture a bald eagle on camera. Even capturing one perched would have made me happy.

This January, the Des Moines river was overrun with bald eagles, in numbers that are uncommon for Iowa. Their presence drew a lot of folks out with cameras of all shapes and sizes, and I was one of those people. I stood out in the 15° cold with my 5lb camera lens for two and a half hours, capturing eagles as they flew and dove, just hoping at least some of the photos would turn out. For my first time getting to photograph eagles, I am incredibly proud of these photos. While there are things I would do differently if another opportunity arose, this was a learning experience, as is every time I pick up my camera. But here are my photos from that very special experience ❤️

Red Admiral butterflies are supposed to be one of the most common butterflies in Iowa, but are hardly seen around anymore. I was surprised to learn this because I see them every year when our Asian pears start to go bad - they absolutely love them. I see them flying around in the tree, looking for a good pear to munch on or a leaf to sun their wings on. Occasionally they’ll land on me to say hello as well 🥰

From tiny babies to big fluffy bois, documenting these tussock moth caterpillars has been a joy the last month. I can’t wait to see how much more they will change, and hopefully I will catch at least one in its chrysalis!

Photos range from July 11, 2021 to July 29th, 2021

I don’t know why I’ve never used photography as an outlet of creativity before now. I always used it as a means of capturing and documenting the beauty of the world, but never used it as a means of capturing creation and creativity. I’m going to start doing that more. I love nature and wildlife photography and will continue to explore that genre, but it’s time for my creativity to find its way into this medium as well ❤️
