Don't be afraid to post that one photo that you don't think is good. Show your art to everyone regardless if it meets your standards. While you may think it doesn't look good or isn't worth it, someone else may see something you don't or may drawl inspiration from.

Even with a cancer diagnosis, Lola is still going strong after her surgery to remove the mass last month. She also turned 14 back on April 17th and I cherish every day I have with her. #fuckcancer #softtissuesarcoma

This is straight out of the camera minus a slight crop. The colors of the morning sky were brilliant hues of orange, yellow, pink, peach. A broken tree silhouette against a lovely palate of colors tells us that just because you may be broken, you can still stand tall to see another day.

My hats off to the engineers and train crews who safely move the things we use in our every day lives.

These are probably a couple of my favorite photos I've taken of a Robin. There were taken a few years ago on the same day I got a new blind to use for bird photography and I had just got a new to me Nikon 200-500 f5.6.

From our last snow a few days ago and it melting within a day or so, we had some icicles form. I've never photographed icicles before so I shot a few photos during sunset.
