Description
Two Trumpeter Swans at Oxbow Bend
Trumpeter Swans are the heaviest bird native to North America and can be distinguished by other swans by its black beak.
Oxbow Bend is a a beautiful pullout off of Hwy 89 where the Snake River curves sharply eventually widening the water course and making the water shallower at this point in the river. It provides a great home to all sorts of animals and also affords some stunning views of the Tetons. This trip I saw ducks, swans and a lone eagle and I was told someone had seen a grizzly there as well. Last fall, I saw a group of river otter here and some beautiful American White Pelicans. Others have seen moose near the shore.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
