Habitually photographing birds, bees, flowers, and sunrise/sunsets while being nourished by nature's beauty — basically just living my best life while looking like an incognito Kris Kringle. All photos taken by me.
On this winter’s day, a great heron taking refuge up a tree as the sun sinks and also escaping my camera’s frame #birds #winter #heron #greatblueheron

Since I didn’t see many birds this afternoon (just some buffleheads and a belted kingfisher) here’s a black-necked stilt from the summer #birds #nature #black_necked_stilt #stilts #shorebirds #reflection #summer

For the longest time, I failed on achieving even slightly passable images of tri-colored herons, and then this happened - testing app’s video feature #birds #tri-coloredheron #fish #saltgrass #bay #heron #nature

Sometimes everything just works as a great grey owl flies across a dark road while it's still lit by the fading sun.

Came across this hummingbird and trumpet flowers along a sandy road at the edges of a lake in early summer. Decided to convert the photo to a more painterly watercolor to print out as artwork. #birds #hummingbirds #flowers #trumpetflower #trumpetvine #nature #flight #summer #artwork. #painterly

Welker: You promised to end birthright citizenship on day one. Is that still your plan?
Trump: Yeah, absolutely.

One of life's essentials to survival is getting enough nourishment - the goal is to be the shorebird and not the tiny morsel of a fish. #birds #greateryellowlegs #beltedkingfisher #greategret #egret #kingfishers #circleoflife #dinner #bay #nature

Testing this site - this northern harrier was hunting on the edges of the bay. Canon R5 shot at 840mm (150-600mm with 1.4x extender).
