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.

We're almost halfway through February and all I can think about is "Spring". This winter has been brutal with snow and really cold temps. I can't even count how many times I've woken up to temps in the negatives. In fact, this morning I woke to temps in the negatives. I'm so ready for sunshine and warmth! I ordered a new lens for photographing wil...

I would like to begin my blog with a Happy Birthday to my special boy, Bailey! It's unbelievable that he is already 8 years old. The time surely does go by fast. Both boys are doing well since their dental procedures. I introduced crunchy food back into their diets this evening and they both handled it well. I wasn't going to give it to them until...

This week has been extremely hectic between working, shoveling snow, and taking care of my lil boyz after their dental work. Bandit's dental procedure went as expected with a cleaning and 4 extractions. Bailey's procedure wound up being much more intrusive than I ever would have expected. My poor lil guy had 12 teeth extracted. I knew both boys had...

I would like to begin my blog by wishing my sweet lil Bandit a Happy 7th Birthday! I can't believe how quickly time goes by and the fact that I've had my little guy for so many wonderful years! The weather was really nice today in comparison to what we have been having. Partly (very partly) sunny and highs in the low 40's. This is the warmest it h...

Monday's sure are brutal. It's so tough getting up early, especially after two nights of no sleep due to not feeling well. Due to being so tired and groggy all morning, I decided to take a short walk at Vanderbuilt during lunch in hopes that the cold air would help perk me up. Being there made me miss Jasmine so much because that was her favorite...

After being snowed in all day yesterday, I decided to go out and enjoy some of Mother Nature's beauty today. Although it was beautiful out, I was dealing with a few other factors that made it not so pleasant. Between the frigid cold weather and the fact that I was up sick all night last night, I was nothing more than cold and exhausted. And still n...

I know I promised to be more attentive to my blog in the new year, but between work and the gym I haven't had much spare time. In fact, most nights I don't even get to sit down to dinner until 8pm or so. In a way, I guess you could say my days are super productive. I put my mind to use during the work day, then my body gets a movin' at the gym in t...

YAY, It's Friday! It was such a LONG work week. Two whole days after having twelve days off seemed like a lot, lol. Actually, I didn't get as much work done as I hoped, but that's partly because of the snow storm and having to shovel. I tried to go to the gym this evening, but sadly the roads weren't cleaned up enough for my liking, so I turned ar...

Oh my, it is cold and snowy here in NY today. It was supposed to be my first day back to the office after my enjoyable time off, but instead I worked from home because of the weather. In fact, I'm sure tomorrow will be another work from home day because we're expected to get another few inches of snow over night and in the morning. I think the dogs...

Today was the second play date we scheduled for my boys to hang out with her new little boy...

It's officially almost Christmas as I am now at my sisters house and hanging out with family. Which also means for you all, no more blog posts about Tinsel (my elf) this year, lol Tonight I had a human subject to photograph. My cute lil nephew Tyler very nicely posed for me. It took a little bit of talking him into it since he doesn't like to have...

I started the day off slow since I was up so late last night. In fact, I didn't do much of anything, but I did at least make it to the gym. I got in an awesome workout and then took advantage of relaxing in the whirlpool after. I don't really get to do that on weeknights because there isn't time for it, so it felt like a real treat today. My littl...

HAHA, Tinsel is so funny! Today I found him hanging from the rafters and couldn't help to laugh. All day, I've had to be careful because he's dangling in a spot where I almost ran into him (several times). This is my last work week of the year and it is going pretty quickly. Due to the weather conditions, I haven't gone into the office all week. B...
