Joe Ford Photography
I am starting this blog in an attempt to share my nature photography experiences. I want to create a place where I can display my images, record my experiences, and share my passion for all things in nature. I really do not know the proper, acceptable, best way to start this, but I am going to share some of my favorite places. I am also going to try to post my daily photographic experiences, a sort of diary I suppose. I hope the reader enjoys some of what I post here.
Arabian Horse Association of Utah — April 2018
I recently spent a very enjoyable weekend at an Arabian horse show, hosted by the Arabian Horse Show of Utah. I would like to extend my appreciation for the warm reception by the participants and officials. You made me feel welcome in a very unfamiliar venue. For the participants of…

Antelope Island State Park, Utah
Antelope Island has long been one of my favorite destinations. It is an amazing desert environment with an incredible variety of wildlife. Along with it’s year round residents it lies on a major migratory path for a variety of songbirds.
Farmington Bay WMA, Utah
While not normally associated with a large Bald Eagle Population, in February of each year hundreds gather at the marshes surrounding the Great Salt Lake. It is a great opportunity to observe and photograph these magnificent birds. However, Farmington Bay WMA is not exclusively an eagle destination for me. Raptors…
Brooks Falls, Katmai National Park, Alaska
I had a magnificent opportunity to spend a week an this amazing location this past July (2014). Of all the places I’ve ever been this one exceeded the hype in all possible ways. I had long admired Tom Mangelsen’s images from Brooks, but had always considered it one of those…
Bosque del Apache NWR, New Mexico
Each year in November, the Friends of the Bosque del Apache host a Sandhill Crane Festival. There is much more to this festival than “just” sandhill cranes. There are huge numbers of Snow and Ross’s Geese also paying their annual visit to the refuge. During the festival, there have been…
