Some of you may have seen my July 8th post about the tiny hummingbird nest I discovered clinging to a branch on one of my Japanese maples. I was able to get a few more photos before the last of the fledgelings flew the nest. He was a fat little guy and very demanding on his parents!
If you create a natural habitat you soon get wild animals to share the space. I invite you to see my garden up close on July 20th during the West Seattle Garden Tour (WSGT). I will be on hand to greet visitors and sell and sign books as a benefit for WSGT

The WSGT donates net proceeds of the event to support Seattle-based community gardens and other non-profits that promote horticulture, education, or the arts.
I’ve heard from many of you who would like to attend one of my seminars or workshops but have difficulty attending because of where you live. Now’s your chance. I will be giving a free online class Friday, July 18th on CreativeLive. The Art of Nature Photography will give you an inside look at some of my favorite outdoor and scenic photography techniques and learn some new approaches for capturing landscapes as well as the smallest details. Click here for more information and to RSVP for free today.
Look what I discovered in one of my trees when I was pruning with my friend!
If you create a natural habitat you soon get wild animals to share the space with. I unfortunately left for a trip right after discovering these cute little guys and figured they would fly the nest before my return. I sent requests to several of my friends to go photograph them while I was away. My assistant Libby Pfeiffer made it up there over the weekend and got some nice shots. She reported the mother was vary concerned about her presence, and would only land on the opposite side from her camera. You can see how much they grew in a few short days! Also, I want to mention to those near Seattle, if you want to check out my garden, it will be part of the West Seattle Garden Tour on July 20th. I will be there to greet visitors and sign books.

A new exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum showcases the works of Mark Tobey and Morris Graves, among others. These are the artists who have inspired me the most–as anyone who attended my Art of Composition seminar should know.
Need something awesome to do this weekend? Will you be in the Pacific Northwest?
For those who associate Art Wolfe solely with nature photography, be prepared for a startling revelation.
Drawing from 36 years of international travel, Art will delve into a vast range of subjects; from discovering the subject to elements of design and even new works such as time lapses. Imagery of nature, wildlife, and the world’s varied landscapes will round out the curriculum to provide the most comprehensive and imaginative class available.
