About three weeks ago I wrote that some of the critters we have here in our woods need a better representation in my galleries, means I like to make better images. The Hairy Woodpecker is one of the species that is here all year long but they are a lot more skittish than their smaller cousins, the Downy Woodpecker. Last weekend I was able to make a couple clicks of the Hairy and the photo I show you today will replace the previous one in the woodpecker section of the Bird Gallery - North America.

It’s hard to believe that my new website and blog are online since already a month now. I have not regretted the switch from GoDaddy and Wordpress to a Squarespace platform for the website. It has bought me a lot of time, time that I like to use for the creative process of my photography and for writing the content of this blog. I spare you with the “tech talk”, but if you like to know what else triggered the switch, send me a message and I can fill you in with the details (just in case you consider a change for your own website ;-) )
