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.

July 15, 2013 - Day 15

Today was a busy and exhausting day at work. When I signed off at 5pm, I figured it was time to get out and do something fun so I went down to the Marina and kayaked on Lake George! I brought my camera with me, but I never took it out. Instead, I enjoyed my three mile paddle and unwound from work. After my paddle, I stopped at the Bicentennial Park...

This sure has been a really awesome weekend! It began on Friday evening when my friend James came over for dinner with his three boys. Then on Saturday I went kayaking with my friend John on Eagle Lake, followed by visiting my sisters at Paradox Lake. I finished off the weekend today by going with my friends John, Catherine, and Jay to Jabe's Pond...

Today is day 13 and once again, I have another water photo! I just can't help it!!! There is water all around me and I LOVE being near/in the water. In fact, while I was paddling with my friend John this morning, I was telling him how much I would love to someday have a place on the water. At this point, it is probably just wishful thinking, but if...

It's now day 12 and I would like to take an opportunity to thank those of you who have been following my pic/blog project. Without all of you, I would be talking to myself. Which isn't all that unusual, lol. The weather in Ti today has been absolutely perfect. Low humidity, lots of sunshine, and a great breeze. Due to it being so nice, I decided to...

I'm now 11 days into my project and although I find it fun and creative, I'm also finding it to be a bit challenging. When I first began my project I was on vacation, so I had plenty of time each day to come up with something. Now that I'm back to work, I am finding it a bit more challenging. I spend my entire day working, then when the evening com...

My gosh, today was an extremely busy day. I worked for the majority of the day, then had to hit up the laundry mat after work. I'm not much of a fan of using the laundry mat, but when I'm up here in Ti for such long periods of time, I don't have a choice but to do laundry there. Due to the day being so busy, I didn't really have much time to concen...

Welcome to day 9 of my photo/blog project. Although I had to work a majority of the day, I still found time to get out and take pics. After work this evening, I went kayaking with my friend John from camp. We launched our kayak's near the lower part of the Falls of Carillon on La Chute River. La Chute River flows from Lake George to Lake Champlain...

Today was the first day back to work after being off for 9 days. Wow, how tough that was! By the time lunchtime came around, I was ready for a nap. Sadly, that was not an option as I now have to buckle down and get a lot done to meet a customer deadline. Since I new I wouldn't get around to my project until this evening, I didn't put much thought i...

Wow, I can not believe it has been a whole week since I started this project and so far it has been a lot of fun. Today was the last day of my vacation week and it was a really awesome day!!! I hung out with some friends from camp at the northern end of Lake George. We brought our kayak's to the marina and hung out on them for a while. Paddling and...

Today was busy, relaxing, and fun! I began it by going for a bike ride on Trout Brook Rd and took a few photo's of the Trout Brook while I was out. Sadly, I did not have my tri-pod, so I was not able to get photo's the way I wanted. Because I didn't like the photo's I took on my ride, I went for a second ride in the evening by the farm to try and p...

I am now into my 5th day of this project and all I keep thinking is "wow, this is so much fun". I have many idea's running through my mind and it is getting difficult to keep up. My original idea for today's photo kind of escaped me as I took something else that was more fitting for the day. My vacation week is starting to wind down to the last few...

Happy 4th of July to all of my pic/blog followers! Today was a very nice day. I spent the majority of it with family at the campground and had a great time. I even managed to have a water fight with my sister who was here! That was awesome, I don't think I've done that in a very long time!!! Due to it being the 4th of July, I already had planned on...

It's day 3 of my project and it was such a hectic day that I didn't think I was going to get my pic of the day. Thankfully, I was able to take a break this evening and go to the local carnival in Ti. There weren't too many people or too many rides. Heck, I couldn't even find a beer tent, but it was still a fun and relaxing evening to myself. I walk...

Welcome to day two of my photo/blog project. I woke up this morning very excited about my project so I made sure to run my errands early this way I could get back and put a little focus on my idea for today. Luckily it hasn't yet rained at camp, so that gave me time to take a little walk around the grounds in search of wildlife. My preference was f...

Roughly a week ago, I met two amazing photographers. One of them is currently engaged in a year long photo a day project. I was really fascinated by the idea, so I thought I would take baby steps and try this project out for 6 months. All week I've been excited to begin my project on July 1st and then the big day came today. And what would you know...
