This website is designed primarily to display my photographs of the natural world and share short stories about them for everyone's enjoyment. My main goal is to tell and show the story, image quality will vary depending on conditions, luck and determination.
All of my photographs are images taken of wild creatures in their natural habitat going about their daily routines and behaviors, or in a few instances in less common conditions.
Bird Names - I am becoming more and more inclined toward dropping the hyphens and capitalizing each word in bird names. I feel it looks much better and elevates the title in a deserving manner. I do recognize that using hyphens is the correct form and particularly so for technical and scientific identification.
All gentle comments are welcome and appreciated. Bird identification can often be a collaborative effort as it is a very large book of knowledge that I am versed in but a small part, so feel free to add your knowledge.
The site name is taken from a favorite stretch of local woods that is often bathed in a peaceful silver light, we have called this place the Silver Forest and have enjoyed its serene beauty. To honor that spirit, I invite you to visit and enjoy my images from the greater silver forest that surrounds us all.
