The spark that lit that dumpster fire was the failure of the new race director to immediately deal with the wing mirror.

A new visitor to my favorite tree this morning. He hung around long enough to grab the camera and get this #photo.

A little macro fun.
I like playing with DOF and color. This #photo let me do both.

I like photos 📷 📸 that are *about* something, (as opposed to just *of* something.)

I think this #photo is about this town (Longmont, CO). Old vs. new, and how the town changing.

Anyway, that’s something I’m always trying to keep in mind when I’m out shooting.

I was set up for headshots with a couple of flashes and a background. Cat jumped up onto the laptop tray and I somehow got this “studio” pic.

Near Yaquina Head Lighthouse on the Oregon Coast.

The little penguin-like, white-bellied cuties are the Common Murres. They lay their eggs on bare rock. Their eggs are unusually pear-shaped so they roll in a circle instead of rolling off a cliff. Brilliant! #birds

As continued intro posts, here's my cat being overly cool and my bird staring into your soul.

I need to make a intro post so I look less like a bot.

So here's a picture I took of an owl that lives in a tree across the street. (LUMIX S5, 300mm, Edited in Lightroom)
