Tell this lesser black-backed gull they're great and also very handsome, thank you

#Photography #Birds #WildlifePhotography

It's standing -- with pale pinkish feet -- on a slippery dark rock in brownish water. (Lesser Black-backed Gull)

Saint Martin's, August 2025

This was during the August wildfires *and* there was fog; in every photo I took, there was a strange quality to the sky and light

#Photography #NewBrunswick #Landscapes #BayofFundy
A large rock formation with trees on top is silhouetted to the left. The sky is hazy blue with soft purple clouds and fog or smoke. The tide is coming in, the water dark. Large rock formations with a hint of a shadowy cave, trees growing on top. Green algae or plant matter covers water winding into the reddish shore. There is a landmass in the background.

On a quest to get good photos of raptors -- this osprey has been the best yet and it was still so far away! I need an even zoomier zoom lens
