Random photo dump. Sorry.
A warm and vividly colorful photo of a black bear rolling on its side soaking up sunshine in a small grass patch in the woods. A small frog with dirt pieces on its face and nose sits in the middle of the photo on a log. A crisp winter photo of a tree stump as the snow falls and starts to cover the leaves in the background.

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them.

It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.

I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights.

I hope everyone had a wonderful turkey day! We have been in Kentucky and are headed back home to Georgia now.
#turkey #wildlifephotography #photography #birdphotography
This image shows a close-up of a turkey’s head, showcasing its vibrant and intricate features. The turkey’s skin displays vivid red, white, and blue hues with a textured and wrinkled appearance. The bird’s eye is focused, and its beak is prominently visible, with a soft background that contrasts with the detailed feathers and skin. The photograph is marked with a watermark reading “Collin Graham Photography.”

Today was a nice day for the bears. This guy was taking a power nap in the sun. 😎

A black bear lying on its side in a forested area, surrounded by autumn foliage and sunlight filtering through the trees. The bear appears relaxed, gazing upwards amidst a serene, natural setting. This is the same image as the first, but zoomed in a little closer to see the bear better.

It’s almost Friday. How we hanging in there? #Owl bet yall are ready for the weekend.

#naturephotography #wildlifephotography #bird #birdphotography #photography
This is a black-and-white photograph of a great horned owl perched on a branch. The owl’s distinct feather patterns, prominent ear tufts, and piercing eyes are captured in striking detail. In the background, a full moon glows softly, partially obscured by branches and silhouetted against the night sky.

A plumb bird covered in golden brown feathers sits on a branch that stretches across the frame. It’s puffed up. The background is blurred brown tones contrasting the sharpness of the bird and branch in focus.

A little #JeepPhotography , anyone?? I just bought this #JeepRenegade a couple of weeks ago to replace my 01 Ford Explorer Sport Trac that was falling apart and boy…. I am spoiled now.
A compact SUV is parked on a sunlit, tree-lined dirt road. It’s a 2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. The car is positioned slightly off-center to the right, with sunlight streaming through the foliage, creating a bright and vibrant natural setting. The surrounding trees cast dappled shadows, adding depth to the scene. The vehicle’s front grille and headlights are clearly visible, showcasing its rugged design.

Hey. You there. You made it to Friday. Enjoy this squirrel pic and have a great Friday!

#Photography #WildlifePhotography #Squirrel
The image shows a gray squirrel sitting on a rock, facing the camera with its front paws tucked in, giving the appearance of crossed arms. The squirrel’s tail is curled behind it, and it has a calm, slightly curious expression. The background is a natural setting with fallen leaves, small plants, and out-of-focus rocks and vegetation, giving an autumnal forest floor vibe.

All of you have probably seen folks harping on about using alt text.
That is because we genuinly think it's important for the health of the community as a whole!
Let me explain why and how using this feature helps you too!

"Huh, I honestly didn't expect that!"

The ratio has improved, despite all the new arrivals! Keep it up folks, still far from ideal.

One of my absolute favorite shots. Peep that nictitating membrane (third eye lid!). 🦅

#Photographer #WildlifePhotography #Photography #Birds #BirdPhotography
The image shows a close-up side profile of a bald eagle with its head turned slightly to the left. Its iconic white head contrasts with its dark brown body feathers. The eagle’s yellow beak is prominently visible, and its intense eye is partially covered by its third eyelid, which gives a slightly cloudy appearance to the eye, adding a unique detail. The background is softly blurred in earthy tones, emphasizing the eagle as the main focus. The photographer’s watermark, “Collin Graham Photography,” is visible in the upper left corner.

What you’re watching with Trumps picks is 2 things:

1. Proof the election was bought. That gut feeling that the election results were weird? That’s that answer.

2. Trump creating a party of “yes men” while destroying the current Republican Party & ousting anyone who opposes him.

Someone just taught me about the ALT-Text. I promise to use it going forward! Very cool feature.

Here’s my snail. 😊
A close-up photograph of a brown mushroom with a small snail on its cap, surrounded by forest floor debris. The mushroom’s gills are visible underneath, and the snail appears to be exploring the textured surface. The background is blurred, emphasizing the mushroom and snail in sharp focus, creating a sense of intimacy with the natural scene.

The butterfly effect, named by mathematician Edward Lorenz, is the idea that something as small as a butterfly flapping its wings can eventually cause a tornado.

poorly designed infographic that says “small initial changes can have major long term impacts on complex systems”
