Dusk on February 6, 2010
Some weather image highlights from this past year included:
Spring Wildflowers

Showy Orchis
I spotted some showy orchis in the woods behind the house this year, in addition to the usual bloodroot and yellow lady’s slippers. Prints of photographs are available here.
Also, Bob George was awarded Smoky Mountains National Park’s 2010 “Wildflower Artist of the Year” for his bloodroot painting. Affordable originals, prints, and notecards are available from bgillustrations.com.

I was fortunate to capture a couple of good bobcat images this year. These are available through the Old Dominion Wildlife print store.

2009 Year In Review
With Christmas fast approaching, I wanted to provide a few suggestions in case you’re looking for that perfect gift for your outdoor-loving friends and family.
Gifts for Catlovers

Bobcat Photograph
A framed 8 x 10 bobcat print would surely be appreciated. Here’s option two available, also showing a bobcat in the wild.
Gifts for Weather Fanatics
This wireless Chaney Instrument Wireless Weather Thermometer
is a nice way to read both the indoor and outdoor temperature from anywhere you want inside your house. You cannot go wrong with this gift idea.
A Weather Alert Radio: This clock radio can be used on your nightstand to wake you up in the event of a weather emergency and potentially save the lives of you and your family.

Weather photos (ice storm and fall snow) photographs are available from Old Dominion Wildlife’s store.
Gifts for Hunters, Cryptozoologists, or Outdoor Photographers
An automatic trailcam is a great gift for anyone who wants to document what is in the woods. This Moultrie Game Spy I-40 Infrared Flash Game Camera
(trailcam) is similar to the model I have, but takes better night shots with its infrared flash. A SD Flash Memory Card
is a recommended accessory.
Gifts for Wildflower Enthusiasts

Award Winning Bloodroot Painting by Bob George
Art lovers will surely like the original flower, wildflower, and nature scene paintings available from Bob George Illustrations. Watercolors and acrylics are available in the form of affordable notecards, prints, and originals.
Wildflower photographs are also available from the Old Dominion Wildlife print store.
Here are some cropped versions of bobcat pictures I published earlier here to give you a closer look.

Bobcat Prints, Bobcat Downloads, and Bobcat Mugs
Prints and original (full-size) downloads are available here of the bobcat in its natural, wild Blue Ridge Mountains environment.
There was a third photo from my recent bobcat trailcam series. Unfortunately, the top of the bobcat’s ears were out of the frame so this one isn’t quite as good as the other two.

Bobcat Sitting
I have been waiting a long time for something like this. A beautiful bobcat posed perfectly in front of my trailcam with good light conditions.
Larger (full-size) downloads, prints, mugs, and more are available from my qoop store. I have some of my better photographs for sale there.

Bobcat Hunting
My trailcam got a couple shots of a bobcat after it passed the camera.
