While at a Montana lake, I looked over toward a cliffside and spotted this Hoary Marmot sitting on the edge. I grabbed my camera and slowly made my way over to them. I spent some time photographing them and was able to capture many beautiful images. #marmot #wildlife #animals #photo #photography

While walking along the Yellowstone River during the fall, I came across a large group of gulls. I slowly crept closer to the group and captured many photos of different gulls, including these two standing on the rocks in the sunshine. #birds #nature #wildlife #animals #photo #montana #photography

My favorite wildlife to photograph is birds. Their vibrant colors, unique personalities, and calls in the trees always brighten my day. From tiny finches to towering Great Blue Herons, capturing their beauty is something I truly love. #birds #wildlife #animals #birding #photography #bird #nature

“Up Close” One of the most detailed turkey shots I’ve captured. While waiting on a ridge for a flock to come in, one bird spotted me and slowly walked within 10 yards, giving me the chance to capture this close-up image. Website - backwoodsboundphotography.com #photo #nature #wildlife #photography

With spring catapulting from a foot of snow to 80 degree weather in Montana, I figured I’d share one of the last winter photos I captured this year. This beautiful Mountain Bluebird sat in the windy winter wonderland while I got a bunch of photos of it. #nature #wild #snow #wildlife #birds #photos

I had a close encounter with a young Mule Deer the other day and was able to capture one of my most detailed photos of a deer to date. It was definitely fun spending some time with this young doe at such close range. #deer #montana #closeup #wildlife #detail #photographer #photography #photo #nature

“Watching Closely.” I unexpectedly crossed paths with a Red Fox near a log jam the other day. He watched me from the brush before trotting on then later revealed himself again with a flash of red through the trees likely watching me the entire time. A cool moment and an even better photo.

On a cloudy day, I saw the distant snowy mountains catch bright sunlight, giving them a blue tint that made for a really cool landscape. One of my favorite parts of winter is how these mountains are over 50 miles away and still clear as day. #mountains #landscape #photography #nature #photos #photo

I know I’m a few days late, but better late than never. This is one of my favorite photos I captured in 2025. It was definitely a strange year, but I’m looking ahead to 2026 and all the adventures it may bring. I’ll also be making an effort to post more. Prints are available on my website in my bio.

While along a river, I was able to get close to a large group of seagulls gathered along the water. I was taking photos of them flying along the river’s edge when I noticed some of them carrying rocks. I ended up capturing a seagull dropping a rock midair and swooping back down to grab it. #wildlife
