In capturing these beautiful photography I realized that many of these area I love to photography were disappearing. There is only 5% of the wetlands left in Orange County area of California. This was once a great migratory stop for birds flying south in the winter and north in the summer. This disappearance of habitat for wildlife and wildlife, I decided to dedicate a section of this web site and create and information section:
You can check those sections out frequently. The first interview will be held with the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach. This organization cares for sick and injured birds in the Orange COunty and surrounding areas. There will be a blog post or two as well as a white paper and a how to get involved. You can find their link on the links page. The interview will be held on April 29, 2008.
Take a look around on the photography page. There are photographs of wildflowers, birds, landscapes, travel and wildlife. Part of the proceeds will be donated to help wildlife and their habitat. The photographs come in different sized prints. They can be ordered framed or matted. We also offer cards printed on recycled paper. You can not write your loved ones and know you helped the environment.
Nature photography with a Purpose will be conducting interviews with local organizations helping to preserve wildlife and habitat for wildlife. The information will be about:
The areas that I will be concentrating on will be:
This is just the starting point.
For those people who would like to explore the outside world and see where some of these photographs have come from I will have a listing of hiking places. I will try to list the sites, maps and wildlife information. It is a very exciting area although some of the birds are already migrating north for the summer. We still have many species that call this home.
Fore all those hungry, tired hikers I will see if I can find some local diners that support the local wildlife and habitat and give a listing of them.
