Been on vacation for a couple weeks. Wasn't going to post anything until I got home, but I have to share this beautiful Monarch Butterfly I saw today

A ring billed gull for #birdoftheday. Don't see too many gulls in Central Texas, but a few find their way up the river.

More lizard posting. I think this is a different fellow than the one from a few days ago. There’s at least three around the house currently.

A Texas Spiny Lizard paused in the process of climbing up onto a wooden porch to give the camera a cautious side eye.

There’s a small creek near my house and recently this fellow has taken up residence there. He let me (and my dog!) get within about 12-15 feet to snap this photo.

My #dogsofbluesky under an appropriately blue sky. The river is his favorite place. He knows when it's my day off and gets makes it clear he feels very unloved if we don't go.

A female Mallard swimming toward the camera, the sun creating a shiny reflection off her wet feathers. A male follows behind, out of focus due to the distance. A male and female Mallard pair naps on a partially submerged log. Silhouetted by the bright afternoon sun, a pair of Mallards preen themselves on a partially submerged log.

My dog exploring a creek running behind a neighborhood park, and doing his best seal (or maybe Loch Ness Monster) impression at the river.

Tried some #intentionalcameramovement for the first time the other day. It was fun looking for subjects. Need a ton of practice and to actually take a tripod with me ^.^

A 6 second exposure with ICM, the movement making the pair of street lamps appear as a long string of lights looping over each other over a hazy treeline in the background. A 4 second exposure using ICM, the camera motion making a single streetlight vaguely resemble the headlights of a car speeding by, the entire image blurry and streaky. A two second exposure using ICM, the vertical movement of the camera causing the street light over a playground to appear as if the lights are thick, viscous, glowing globs of magma beginning to dripping down towards the ground.

Still milking images from my hike a couple weeks ago. 😆

Just about through the good ones, I need to get out again.

A gull mid flight, crossing in front of the camera at a shallow angle. A Cormorant standing a small muddy outcrop poking above the river's surface and holding it's wings out to cool itself down. A flock of Herons standing atop their nests in a tree. Two are clearly visible, but another three are present, hidden among the maze of slender branches.

Gratuitous self-indulgence, also known as lots of pictures of my dog because he's a freakin' cutie and I love him. I wish Bluesky had a higher limit on the pixel size of photo uploads.

Various flocks along the river. The egrets is one of my personal favorites that I've taken. I love misty conditions and we don't get them often here.

#photography #birdphotography #naturephotography
A flock of something (Sandpipers I think, but the low light and how fast they were moving made it hard to tell for sure) flowing low above the water, their reflections distorted in the rippling surface. A flock of Sandpipers flies low over the green waters of the river, buzzing a small group of Mallards A flock of egrets flies away over the misty morning river, on their way to begin the day. A group of Mallards creating larger, overlapping ripples on the water's surface, having just landed. Two the birds face each other and rear up, flapping their wings.

A juvenile Black-Crowned Night Heron, Great Egret, Eastern Phoebe, and something that looks like some sort of Fisher. All seen on the 4ish miles between my house and the river.
