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.

I've been posting a lot of Christmas themed photo's over the past couple of weeks, so I thought I would give you all a break! I was hoping to get a pic of the boys in the snow, but it was too cold out there for them and they wouldn't cooperate. Nor could I even try that hard to make them because I didn't want them to freeze. Instead, I got a nice p...

Monday's always seem so brutal. Get up early, work all day, then go to the gym! Wow, now I'm tired. Luckily having all this Christmas stuff set up, I've been finding things to photograph. Enjoy my photo tonight!

It has finally stopped snowing here in the Hudson Valley and everything looks really pretty. I shoveled last night and then again this morning. I'm really happy I did the first pass last night because that snow was light and fluffy. The stuff on the ground this morning was really heavy. Especially the mess that is left beyond my driveway because th...

I started this blog with the intention of keeping up with it daily, but I found that too stressful and decided to post when I had time. This has worked out a lot better for me and I can't believe that this is now by seventy second post. It sure does seem unbelievable! Today we are experiencing winter here in the Hudson Valley. At this point I thin...

The past couple of days have been slightly frustrating. Last night a deer smashed into my car while I was heading to the gym. I spent all of this morning getting things straightened out with my car. My new minivan, which hasn't even had its first oil change is currently at the auto body shop while I drive this rental that looks much like my car, ye...

Wow, it's amazing.... This is my third post so far this month. I'm starting the month off really well. In fact, I've been doing really well in many areas of my life lately. Work has been productive and after work has been even more productive. Just a couple of short weeks ago I signed back up at the gym after taking the summer and fall off. Althoug...

Weekdays have become very busy since I've committed to the gym in the evenings after work. I had forgotten how that consumes the majority of the evening. And yet, it feels sooooo good. I've only been back for a couple of weeks, but I am already feeling the benefits of it. My body is feeling firmer and my energy levels have increased! YAY, go me. I...

Today was a busy day with work and the gym. It was my first day back to work after a week off, so it felt slightly brutal. I'm sure by next week I'll get back into things easier. Not only was it my first day back to work, but it is my dad's birthday. Here's a big shout out to him.... Happy Birthday Pop!!! Although today was really busy, I couldn't...

Over the summer I purchased this awesome Christmas backdrop and had to wait patiently for months to use it. Today I had a couple of my nieces and a nephew at my home for their Christmas Portraits. We had fun getting pics!!!! And I got a bunch of really good ones. Here's one that I couldn't resist sharing of Branden and Emily. They where both such c...

Today was a really fun day and I'm now completely exhausted! My 5 yr old nephew, Branden, stayed the night last night and hung out with me all day today. We had so much fun from the time we got up til the time he went to bed. I started the day by cooking us breakfast, then we got ready and went out. We spent almost 3 hrs at the Children's Museum a...

Many of you may know the Christmas Tradition of the "Elf on the Shelf", but for those of you who don't, let me give you a quick explanation. Every year Santa sends his elves out to people's homes to keep an eye on their children and listen to their wishes. The elf will find a good place to sit in the home and every night he/she will fly back to th...

To all my blog followers, I know I promised to be more active with my blog, but I have no clue where the time has gone since I've been home. I feel as though there is always something going on and I'm really busy. But don't get me wrong, because that is a good thing!:-) Today I decided to work from home because my parents were going to lunch with...

Welcome to Day 63 of my blog. The first thing I want to do is give a big shout out to my sister Tammy...... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAMMY!!! I know I don't keep up with my blog as regularly as I want to, but things have been really busy. About a week ago I ended things with Jim and came home. I'm not at all upset about that because we had far too many diff...

Hello to all my followers! I'm really sorry that I haven't been posting much lately, but I have been trying to get to it as much as possible. I've been home since Friday and it sure does feel good to be home. Sleeping in my super comfy bed, relaxing hot baths at night, and lots of space compared to the camper, lol. Jim and the boys came home with...

I figured since today is my birthday, I had to get out and get a pic for my blog. I decided the best place to go was my favorite little church just down the road from the campground. It was really pretty by the church as the trees around it were very colorful and so was the ground. In general, things are starting look really colorful in Ti. It's fu...
