Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, Oklahoma

Took a trip last weekend North-West of DFW to Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. It’s 60,000 acres of unspoiled prairie land, with over 600 resident buffalo. Apparently due to the amount of rocks beneath the soil surface it was impossible to plough and turn into agricultural land, so it was left in it’sContinue reading “Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, Oklahoma”

Saguaro National Park, Arizona

Thought it’d be fun to share a few photos from a recent trip to Arizona. We flew into Tucson and spent a week in the South of Arizona. One of the places we managed to go and see was Saguaro National Park. The Park is named after the Saguaro Cactus which is the largest cactusContinue reading “Saguaro National Park, Arizona”

Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge, Texas

Took another trip to Hagerman over the July 4th Weekend, it was an early start leaving Dallas at 4:45 am but was definitely worth it once we arrived there.

A few random photos from the last few years

Thought i’d share some photos i’ve taken over the last few years at a few different places around the USA. There’s not really a theme of the photos just a very random bunch which i thought i’d like to edit.

Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada

Taken a little while but got around to editing more photos from the Ruby Valley. I’ll share some images of the wildlife we encountered at the National Wildlife Refuge. I’ll do my best to identify the birds (with help from the National Geographic’s Complete Birds of North America book & the Audubon App) but i’llContinue reading “Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada”

Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge, Texas

Took a Summer trip to Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge in North Texas. This is the first time visiting in the Summer and it didn’t disappoint. We arrived at the refuge at around 630am in time to watch the sunrise which was impressive to say the least. As always there were plenty of birds and otherContinue reading “Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge, Texas”

El Reno, Oklahoma

This is probably one of the stranger places i’ve visited since moving to Texas. El Reno is a small town about 20 miles West of Oklahoma City. The only reason i’ve heard of it is due it suffering one of the most violent tornado’s in recorded history. In May 2013 a complex of thunderstorms developedContinue reading “El Reno, Oklahoma”

White Rock Lake , Texas (Winter Storm)

Having survived the worst of the big chill in Texas these last few days, we took a trip down to White Rock Lake to get out of the house and enjoy some fresh air by the lake. Unsurprisingly given the recent conditions the lake looked rather different to usual with a sheet of ice stretchingContinue reading “White Rock Lake , Texas (Winter Storm)”
