Capturing Nature Through My Lens
Welcome to JJM Photos! I am an amateur photographer and passionate birder, showcasing my favorite images that celebrate the beauty of nature and the avian world.
My Photography Journey
Personal Journey
Most birders seem to have "the bird" that got them interested in the hobby. For me it was a Cooper's Hawk. I was sitting on our patio minding my own business, when a Cooper's Hawk chased a Mourning Dove into our patio door. The dove was out for the count and the hawk calmly sat on our fence rail waiting for a chance to claim his dinner.
I ran into the house to get my camera and was able to get bunch of great photos of the hawk.
I was hooked!
I started paying attention to the birds coming to our fountain. Put up feeders. Bought better binoculars. Upgraded my camera and lenses. Created a library of bird books and guides. Started attending bird festivals and scheduling one day of every trip we take for birding.
I even get my S.O.B. (spouse of birder) to come along occasionally.
My friends have been telling me to get a web site to share my pictures, It took some time, but here it is...
