I love birds.

"I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven."
- Emily Dickinson in "Letters of Emily Dickinson"


My wife and I have lived here in northern California for the past 14 years or more, although in our almost 80 years now we have lived all over this country from the East Coast to the West..

We both enjoy getting out to the ocean as often as we can. That's where I find most of my birds, although we do also regularly visit a wetlands refuge in Petaluma where all kinds of waterfowl reside or pass through on their way north or south, depending on the time of year.

I've been a more serious amateur photographer for the past six or seven years, concentrating on birds since they're so colorful and engaging.

Just for the fun of it, I've kept up a blog for the past several years, although I haven't done much to it lately. You can find it at: bignutsandbolts.blogspot.com/ .


Thanks for stopping by.

    "OUR LONG-LASTING FRIENDSHIP!!!

    Truly, it’s my honour to have Carl as a great flickr friend. He is an incredible photographer of all things nature and he has an amazing ability to capture "the perfect shot" at just the right moment, not an easy task to do. His passion for all things beautiful when it comes to photography is both inspiring and completely infectious. His ability to make a friend feel like we have known each other forever is incredible. If you take the time to get to know him and his photography you won’t ever regret it. Carl is among my most favourite people in flickrworld. Thank you Carl for being my great friend and for all your support!

    "Carl possesses an artistic admirable capacity. On all his photos a fantastic touch of beauty stamps them, something that invites to come again and again to admire his works. But besides this, offer yourself his friendship and in every comment that makes in the time that he dedicates to visiting again and again your works, for it I just can say thank you Carl!! I invite you to know about his work. Bruno"
