We all dream of traveling the world to capture "the shot". Early on in my quest I purchased " The art of seeing " by Frans Lanting. The thing about the lesson that stuck with me the most was one piece of advice. If you can't find things to photo near home, you won't find them other places. This beautiful Ruffed Tail Grouse was perched right in my back yard. I am fortunate to have boundless beauty to capture where I live , so i can prepare for bigger adventures!
