The Studio Supervisor may be 15 years old, but age has done very little to diminish his agility.

Let the Photographer sit down at the computer with a plate of food and produce so much as a single clink of fork against china, and Grayced appears at once.

After all, every meal consumed within the studio falls under his jurisdiction, and appropriate tribute must be rendered.

First Nest: All three Jordan Lake bald eagle triplets are still returning to the nest when a parent arrives with food.
The eaglet on the rim of the nest won this particular race and is eating, while the other two fledglings are perched off to the left on a branch looking rather displeased about the outcome.
At this stage, once young bald eagles are fledged, every food delivery becomes a scramble to see who reaches the nest first.
(And yes — all three eaglets really are in this photograph.)

Memorial Day Celebration — Nature’s Door is Open

For the upcoming Memorial Day, I’ve opened both of my Etsy galleries for a small holiday sale.

This year’s image is an adult bald eagle balancing against the wind — a moment of strength, stillness, and watchfulness above Jordan Lake.

One gallery, Doc Ellen’s Images, holds archival fine art prints on paper, canvas, acrylic, and metal.
The other gallery, Stillness Moments, offers digital versions created for phones, tablets, and quiet personal spaces.

Whether you are looking for a wall piece, a moment from the natural world for your screen, or simply wish to visit for a few minutes, you are welcome — Nature’s door is open. Come right on in.

What a privilege it has been to witness this remarkable family.

Mother’s Day 2026 — Where Nature Awaits 🌿

I’ve added a small Mother’s Day collection to my Etsy gallery—
quiet moments from the natural world that speak to care, watchfulness, and connection.

From a bluebird feeding her fledgling
to eagles and ospreys tending their young,
these are scenes I’ve been privileged to witness and share.

Whether for today, or simply for a quiet moment when you need one, you’re welcome to visit.These moments are here to be returned to—today or any day you need them.

First Nest. All three of the bald eagle TRIPLETS are continuing to grow rapidly. Hint: to see each look for dark football shape, then yellow feet and for a beak. Nature camouflages these youngsters very well.
