As I prepare to depart on my next road trip, I thought a reflection on some of my favorite photographic moments from my most recent trip might be appropriate. My destination was Albuquerque New Mexico, with stops along the way that included Bullhead City and Arivaca Arizona and Silver City New Mexico. I am fortunate to have friends who will put up with me scattered around the country. Through these mini-journeys I’m able to have the pleasure of good company while blending time spent hunting birds and enjoying nature.
My favorite images from this trip can be viewed below:
