New photo gallery on the blog: Mammals!

Mammals!

I mostly photograph birds, but that’s only because mammals tend to be more reclusive–here are some local fur-bearing creatures.

More attempt at nature journaling. Pen and water-soluble color pencils. My goal is to sketch things in situ as much as possible rather than from photos. But today, my toes got cold. Time to pull out the heavy winter rubber boots. #NatureJournaling
ウバユリのスケッチ。足が寒かった。 #スケッチ

Sketch of heart-leaf lily or ubayuri and the actual plant on the right. The plant has four seedpods that are cracking opening but held together with filaments. Flat seeds are visible.

The wife's favorite hummingbird, a juvenile male Anna's perched on a twig in portrait and showing off all his bright iridescent colors and cool blank spaces that will fill in as he matures, is her choice for this art show. I know. Right?

American Woodcock in Central Park, 11.14.2025 #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

An American Woodcock amid a thick layer of fallen leaves, light oranges, browns, buff, and yellow, providing excellent camouflage for the bird, which has intricately-patterned buff, brown, and gray plumage, large dark eyes, and a long beak.

The same American Woodcock amid the leaves, now facing the other direction, partially obscured by a branch in the foreground, and a large tan leaf in front of their beak

Dei tronchi sradicati sono adagiati nel letto del fiume in tratto in cui, sull'acqua stagnante, delle alghe di un verde vivo ne ricoprono la superficie. Sulla sponda del fiume, la vegetazione è ormai spoglia e secca.

Found the Brown Creeper! We won't talk about how many nothing but tree bark pics taken after they kept showing up on the Merlin song app! 🪶

A small bird on a maple tree trunk is speckled brown on the back and has a white belly. It is on the left side of the trunk in front of a branch.

Took a hike, spied a female Anna's Hummingbird perched on a twig. She's backlit and I had to thread a needle to reach her, but I like the composition and the bokeh balls in the canopy background over another feeder shot...all day.

Am I the only one that enjoys Partially Muscled Skeleton Stands by the Perimeter Fence and Screams for 30 Seconds Before Vanishing Eve more than the actual holiday?

Elana Levin @levin.bsky.social · 4d

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Stands by the Perimeter Fence and Screams for 30 Seconds Before Vanishing Day to all who observe.

Dave Gibbons panel from Watchmen that reads “November 14th: a partially muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for 30 seconds before vanishing… “Which depicts exactly that and a soldier with a gun freaking out and another soldier throwing up.

Seedpod of heart-leaf lily or ubayuri (Cardiocrinum cordatum). The pod has broken open, and seeds that look like garlic slices are visible. Not quite dispersing yet, but once the rain is up, ready to go. Tokikubo, Komoro, Nagano #Plants #Botany
