Happy Earth Day! Enjoy your day out and about ~ go for a walk, use cloth shopping bags, pick up garbage, plant a tree or a butterfly garden, share nature photos, or be like this goose and protect mamas sitting on a nest. #cherylajohnson #lifeonthesunrisechannel #earthday

This turtle pic is definitely a keeper! As you can see, the shell of this one is peeling/shedding. It's a normal process to shed the outer plates/scutes to make room for new growth. Follow my fb page Life on the Sunrise Channel for more. #cherylajohnson #lifeonthesunrisechannel

WOW! Love the new camera! I always have trouble remembering the name of this Red-bellied Woodpecker. The faint red blush on the lower belly is usually hard to see, but if you look closely, you'll see it. #cherylajohnson #lifeonthesunrisechannel #naturephotography #redbelliedwoodpecker

A group of grackles is called a plague. Turn your volume all the way up to hear the plague across the channel. I opened the slider and couldn’t believe the racket! #cherylajohnson #lifeonthesunrisechannel #naturephotography #commongrackle

A foggy start to the day. The farther down the channel, the murkier it becomes. I found a large lone leaf in the yard, which I switched to black and white to fit the mood. If you love nature, follow my fb page Life on the Sunrise Channel. #lifeonthesunrisechannel #naturephotography

As the sun made its stunning entrance this morning on Gun Lake, the last quarter moon was still high in the sky with the haze of light clouds adding some moodiness to it. #lifeonthesunrisechannel #moonmoments #moonphotography #writingprompts

Another Good Listen ~ 2025 I've been to the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, so I was definitely interested in listening to this story inspired by the aquarium's program that pairs orphaned pups with otters. You'll find the aquarium's otter cam in the comments. 🙂 @kaaauthor.bsky.social

I headed to a nearby park with Christmas props to use at sunset and got some decent shots, but this one without the sunset is my fave from last night. I had put things on top of a tree stump, then thought to try an ornament in the snow-filled split in the side. Love it! #naturephotography

Life on the Sunrise Channel A pic from last December seems appropriate for today's frigid temps. Great Blue Herons tuck their heads into their feathers to conserve heat. The same is true of pulling one leg up to their body for warmth. #naturephotography #greatblueheron #lifeonthesunrisechannel

Showy Sunsets The sunset itself wasn't quite so showy last night, so I gave this an artsy look with a pop color. For my first attempt with Christmas props and snow and sunset, I'm happy with how things turned out. #lifeonthesunrisechannel #naturephotography #showysunsets #gunlakesunset

Showy Sunsets Last Friday the gulls were on the other side of the lake and I could barely see them. Tonight though, they were right by the beach, and at one point hundreds of them all took off. #naturephotography #sunsets #showysunsets #lifeonthesunrisechannel

Showy Sunsets My fave from Friday night. I couldn't see the birds at all without my camera. Totally surprised when I zoomed in for the sunset shot and caught hundreds of them. #naturephotography #sunsets #showysunsets #lifeonthesunrisechannel
