I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
I, my wife Alyce, and the whole gang at the marsh want to thank all of you for your interest and support for the wildlife photo blog these past six months.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy healthy New Year!
Well…I did manage to stay out of the swamp but…we went over to check out the salt marsh and the beach.
Saw several of our blue heron friends who all seemed to be in a festive Christmas spirit!
Wishing you and your family and the entire swamp a wonderful Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I look so forward to your photos every day. Cant wait for 2013.
I was SO hoping you would somehow trot out a gator for your Christmas card! Well done, Phil! And a very Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to you and Alyce.
Nothing better than a swamp gator for Christmas. Thank you for such a beautiful and artistic card. I wish Alyce and you a wonderful and warm Christmas and may the New Year bring your heart’s desire.
Thanks for all the joy you brought with your blog over the last months along with some humour and interesting friends. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
Well, guess you had to figure if anyone was going to do an alligator Christmas card it would likely be me.
Thanks for all your kind words these past several months Gunta! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, Phil and Alyce! I haven’t commented in awhile, but my mother and I continue to enjoy your posts!!! We check your website daily! My parents love Huntington Beach State Park! On our last trip there, we looked to see if we could find you. What a treat that would have been to see you in action! Even though our paths didn’t cross, we had fun trying to see where you might take your photos. What a wonderful talent you have and how kind you are to share it with us! My mother says she feels as if she takes a trip to HBSP each time she looks at website. I’m so thankful for you to give my mother such pleasure! I hope your mother is doing well. Again, thank you very much and Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks very much for your kind Christmas wishes Carolyn! I’m so glad you and your mother continue to enjoy the photos!
My mom is doing better now, thank you for asking.
Merry Christmas to you and your mother!
