And The Darkness Comes.

The sun is stealing away with her riot of colors, the last traces of light bathing the clouds and the contrails of mighty metal birds in soft pastels. Glowing gently as she slowly sinks into the earth. Taking with her the promise of a new day and the explosion of activity that her coming brings. …

The Death of an Imperial.

Moths have short lives. They live a week or two, just long enough to mate and lay eggs. Usually I don’t photograph such things, but I was strangely drawn to this Imperial Moth in the throes of death. I watched as it struggled to hold its tenuous grip on life, ultimately failing and laying motionless, …

Carpenter Bee.

This weeks shot is of a Carpenter Bee that was busy chewing a hole in an old wooden post in my back yard.  They look similar to Bumble Bees but have shiny black abdomens instead of hairy ones.   For you macro enthusiasts;  the photo was taken with a DMC-FZ8 at 4.5 in natural light. …

Black Rat Snake.

Black Rat Snakes are quite common here in the Ozark woods. This one was stumbled upon while returning to the vehicle from a photographic safari. The snake was caught by surprise and quickly fled up a small tree to avoid capture, luckily it was a rather small tree and even though Rat snakes are great …

Ambrosia Popsicle said it best;

Bugs and skulls. Couldn’t be a better idea for a store.

Buckobecks wholeheartedly agrees and will strive to saturate the website and the blog with ample helpings of each. Be sure to stop by often to see the newest wildlife photo releases before they are posted anywhere else, or grab a sweet new vector skull to use in your creative endeavors. Here’s a dragonfly photo to get you started, it looks great as a desktop background!

Dragonfly.

If you’re looking for the glorious full color widescreen grasshopper photograph promised in the brown snake entry you’ve found it. Now you just have to figure out what you are going to do with it.

This one was casually munching on a cattail while I snapped its portrait. Too sweet, and a bonus available only at Buckobecks Blog.

Luna Moth

The Second Generation

A few weeks back I was lucky enough to catch a luna moth drying its wings on my shed and was able to take several picture of it before it flew off. One of the photographs will be found over at Buckobecks store. More recently I found one of the second generation clinging to the …

Gray Tree Frog

Tree Frog.

Small things.  Tucked away in holes, beneath rocks, and under leaves.  Things that normally go unseen.  The world within a world.  Creatures, some familiar, some bizarre, waiting to be discovered by the curious.  As a child, and still today, I find myself lifting logs and carefully studying the vegetation hoping to catch a glimpse of …

Field Mouse

Cute, Fuzzy, And Meaner Than Hell.

This mouse; or, as I like to call him “the dirty little rat bastard” bit me twice while I was photographing it. So this shoot literally cost me my blood. It also seems to suggest that I’m a bit of a slow learner. The aggressive rodent was discovered while removing some old boards from the …

Northern Watersnake

Bad Disposition.

Northern Water Snakes do not cotton to company and will bite viciously if handled or cornered. The one in this picture was very small so I could not feel it when it did. This particular kind of snake often turns up in my ponds where it can be found in pursuit of frogs and fish.
