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.

Today was a bitter cold day, but you know I still froze outside watching and photographing the Eagle's before I had to get home for my company. My sister, her husband and their kids came this evening to hang out and stay the night. My little nephew was excited that I had some really cool stuff to play with. We made fruit, cookies and swiss cheese o...

Wow, today was a really busy and exhausting day at work! There are some changes happening in some of our workloads in my area, including my workload. I'm excited, yet a little nervous about some of the new work I took on. One part of the project is very different than anything I've worked on in the past, so I'm expecting there to be a bit of a lear...

Wow, today was a pretty incredible day! First off, the plumber finally came and installed the new bathtub I've had sitting on my porch for the past 7 weeks. He needs to come back and finish up some final touches, but for the most part it looks awesome! I can't wait to use it tomorrow. To top off a really good day already, the weather was absolutel...

Last night was brutal as I had a tough night sleep. Got a couple hrs in and then woke and tossed and turned for several hours before dosing back off. My Monday morning was brutal and not exactly the best way to begin the work week. A majority of the day was spent working, yet I found time after work to squeeze in time to observe and photograph the...

It was a beautiful day hanging out at the park with photography buddies. I even made a new friend today while photographing wild life. It wasn't as warm as yesterday, but the sun was shining brightly and holding promise that spring will soon be here. I spent the entire afternoon out in the sunshine and the only part of me that got cold was my feet.

Hello everyone! Happy Friday! This week was very busy and by the time I signed onto work this morning all I could think was that I'm tired and need some time off, so I decided to take the afternoon off. I thought I would spend the afternoon photographing Bald Eagle's, however they never showed. I spent 3 1/2 hours out in the cold waiting and nothi...

Weekdays are brutal.... work all day, then the gym in the evening. Work has been really busy as there is a lot to get done in a short period of time and the gym was intense. I did the ride class again and that class beats up my legs. Yet, it feels good and my legs are getting stronger and stronger. My busy schedule doesn't really give me any time...

I would like to begin my blog by giving birthday shout outs to my sister, Tina and my nephew, Branden! Happy Birthday to both of you. I love you both and hope you both had a really nice day! Today was a seriously bitter, cold day. I went outside during my lunch break to take pics of the birds. I had planned to go out for a half hour, but it was so...

I began today a little tired from all the excitement from yesterday and spent the morning relaxing. While relaxing, I could hear the birds outside on my roof and at the feeder. Generally when there are that many of them out there, they are also sitting in the pine tree in my front yard. I thought I would try to go out and get pics of them. Sadly th...

SURPRISE - Happy 6th Birthday Branden! My sister planned a birthday party for Branden with his friends at the ice skating rink. However, what she neglected to tell him was that she also planned a surprise birthday party for him with the family. When he and his dad arrived home from his hockey practice today, he got out of the car all shocked to se...

Wow, this has been a really great weekend. Yesterday I went out to photograph Eagle's and got to see my friend, Debbie. Today I went to the Lawn and Garden Show in Poughkeepsie and got to see my friend, Eysha. It's very rare when I get to spend my whole weekend enjoying photography, so I'm beyond happy at this moment. The Garden Show was gorgeous.

This post was meant to be done last night, but I was having issues accessing my account. I'm assuming that maybe the host site was shut down for some maintenance. It happens from time to time. I spent the whole day out viewing Eagle's and as always it was really impressive. The beautiful birds flew several times giving us the opportunity to get in...

Another inch of snow fell today. I'm so thankful it was only an inch.:-) The good thing about the snow is that the birds are taking advantage of my feeder. And they enjoy hanging out on my pine tree in my front yard. I got another great shot of a bird this morning. I think this one may be my favorite of all the recent ones I've taken. I'm hoping y...

Oh my gosh, this snow is completely insane. We got at least 2 feet in the past two days and it has been so much work to get it cleaned up. In addition to cleaning the driveway and making paths to the shed and back door, I also did my best to clean my roof as much as possible. The dog pen is currently a complete mess and not usable (I'll have to try...

Snow, Snow, and more Snow! I can't believe how much snow we've gotten and the fact that they are still calling for another 5-9 inches overnight. The brutal part is that the overnight snow is going to be mixed with sleet, meaning it's gonna be some really heavy and messy stuff to get up in the morning. I got my driveway and the dog pen cleaned out f...
