Welcome and thanks for visiting! This site is dedicated to the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and its wildlife -- reflections shared in photo and video. You may also want to check out my other creative expressions -- a variety of articles, stories, songs, poetry, prose -- even a legal memorandum.

A current GREEN project is Saving the Haley Hills from continuing environmental degradation due to off-road vehicle abuse. To voice your concern, please contact the Phoenix Regional office of the Bureau of Land Management: az_sdnm_phx_south@blm.gov.

Wildlife videos from my Sonoran Desert home are currently distributed on YouTube, Blip.TV, Revver, Magnify.Net, MetaCafe, Viddler, Crackle, MySpace.TV, Google, Yahoo, AOL's Uncut Video, DailyMotion, Live Video, Bebo, Webshots, and Photobucket under the username waywardmuse. The majority of the wildlife videos feature the animals in their natural Sonoran Desert setting, and several include rare interspecies interactions. A select few videos feature captive animals in the Phoenix Zoo. Videos of my domestic animals include dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and hamsters. Many videos have great background music in a variety of genres, others have informative and often funny narrative content, some have both. I'm at artist at heart first and foremost so all videos aim to enlighten and entertain. Species filmed and featured to date in video for your viewing pleasure are as follows:
