Welcome to my Weekly Blog 
Wednesdays with Wildlife & Wonder

Debbie and kids (small)Debbie and kids (small)

Welcome to my blog — a place where wildlife, photography, and the beauty of nature come together.

 

I’m Debbie Quick, a wildlife and nature photographer based in the Hudson Valley of New York. Most days you’ll find me outdoors with a camera in hand, exploring forests, wetlands, and open fields in search of the wild moments that make nature so magical. From bald eagles soaring over frozen rivers to fox kits playing in spring grass, these are the moments I love to capture and share. 

My journey into wildlife photography began years ago when I first discovered a bald eagle nest near my home. Watching that family grow and thrive sparked a passion that has taken me across the Hudson Valley, the Adirondacks, and many other incredible places in search of wildlife and natural beauty.

Every Wednesday, I share a new story here on the blog — a behind-the-scenes look at my photography adventures, memorable wildlife encounters, beautiful places I’ve explored, and the animals that have captured my heart. 

  • Some weeks you’ll meet a particular bird or animal that left a lasting impression.
  • Other weeks I’ll take you along on a photography adventure or share a little inspiration from the wild.

 

If you love wildlife, nature, photography, or simply the quiet wonder of the outdoors, you’re in the right place.

So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and join me each week for Wednesdays with Wildlife & Wonder.

Because the natural world always has another story waiting to be told.

October 9, 2013 - Day 60

Work was a bit insane today, so I didn't even bother trying to sneak away at lunch time with my camera. It would have been nice as the day was absolutely beautiful. The temps were on the cooler side in the 60's and the sun was shining with a beautiful blue sky in the background. Because I worked through lunch, I signed off of work at a decent time...

Over the past couple of weeks I've been patiently waiting for "peak fall" to arrive here in Ticonderoga. My expectation was that with all these mountains around (full of trees) peak fall would be absolutely stunning. However, I regret to say that Ticonderoga was never taken over with all those gorgeous colors. I saw a lot of the color change while...

Sadly it is a rainy day at camp today. I promised the kids we would have an afternoon fire and some smores, but mother nature hasn't allowed for us to do so. Instead I joined my parents, niece, and nephew for brunch at the Wagon Wheel Restaurant and we ran into my boyfriends Aunt. She said that the whole gang was on their way for lunch, so we all s...

Gosh, there must be something in the air because I'm posting two days in a row! lol It was a perfect fall day as the weather today was absolutely gorgeous. In fact, the past few days have been completely awesome. It would have been nice to take some time off and enjoy the day, but work is still a bit too hectic for such a thing. Because I couldn't...

Oh my, I just realized how long it has been since I've posted. I know I've promised you all a couple of posts a week and here it has been a couple of weeks since I've posted. Things have been really busy and I haven't really gotten to my blog. Plus, it didn't help that my general purpose lens was broken. I wound up sending it back to Canon to be fi...

To all my blog followers, I'm so sorry for being such a slacker lately with my blog. I've been incredibly busy and haven't really had the time for it lately. Last night I went home after spending several weeks in Ticonderoga. So many, that I'm not even sure how long its been since I was last home. Shortly after I arrived home last night, my boyfrie...

So far this week seems to be a little hectic, just as we would have expected. I went back to work on Tuesday after having a wonderful 11 days off and the boys returned to school yesterday after their very nice summer break. James is now in 4th grade, Aidan in 1st, and Felix is still going to his babysitter/daycare. James and Aidan were both very ex...

To all my blog followers, I'm so sorry for being such a slacker, but I've been so busy enjoying life that I haven't had a chance to concentrate on my blog. Today Jim thought it would be good to get the boys out for something really fun before they go back to school, so we decided upon enjoying the afternoon out on Lake George with the boys. We spe...

Things have been tough since I've lost my little girl, but thankfully I've had incredibly supportive people in my life. And I thank everyone who has been so supportive. I really appreciate all the messages and texts that I've received from family and friends! Today we celebrated James' 10th birthday. His actual birthday is tomorrow, but we had his...

Sadly, today has been the toughest day I’ve ever had to face. Over the past year Jasmine (my 15 ½ yr old dog) has gone downhill drastically. After months of thinking about what was best for her, I decided it was time for her to be put to rest. It was the toughest decision I’ve ever had to make and I always hoped she would go peacefully in her sleep...

Oh my, it is hard to believe that this is my 50th post already! Because I was on such a good roll with work today I decided to work through lunch and take a late lunch break. Around 2:30 I took my break and went to the construction site to see how things were coming along and I was really impressed by how much was done. Jim is really enjoying the f...

After work this evening Jim stopped by with the boys so we could go to a Doctor's appointment for James. On the way to the appointment we were thinking that the Dr. was going to cut the cast off of James, look over his leg and put a new one on. Instead, the Dr. told him to just wear the boot and use the crutches for a couple more weeks. We are all...

Jim and I brought the boys down to their grandmother's on Friday evening after work and he and I have been spending a little quality time together all weekend. Yesterday we went kayaking on La Chute River and into Lake Champla...

My gosh, work was insanely busy today and I can't believe I have to meet my deadline tomorrow. I'm almost there and can't wait to be done because it is very stressful working towards a deadline that approaches so quickly. Since I knew I was going to work a very long day today, I made sure to go to the construction site during my lunch break. I was...
