What do you supposed the cormorant said to the sea lion? My first time seeing both in their natural habitat at La Jolla Cove, in San Diego County, CA. #photography #nature
A cormorant with its beak open is looking at a sea lion, who has his head straight up, face turned away, and eyes closed. In the background are a rocky surface and foaming sea waves.

One of my favorite photos of our late senior Tabby in 2020, about three weeks before she passed away after 19 years. When her time was near, we let her journey outside to experience the outside world. She loved it. This day, she was joined by a thunderstorm. #WorldPhotographyDay #photography

A lot of small birds take a bit of time splashing in shallow water when they bath. Not swallows. This barn swallow flew directly into the marsh at Mach 5, completely submerged for a second, and then exploded out in a shower of water drops to continue on its way! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶
A soaking wet barn swallow shows its bright rusty/ orange tummy as it explodes out of the water in a shower of water drops. They bath by flying into the water , submerging and then popping out and continuing on their flight!

My grandmother feeding my grandfather in 2016, just three days before he left us. They were together for 66 years! ♥️ His mind was sharp as a tack until he took his last breath, but his 89-year-old body was tired from 70+ years of farming. We still miss him terribly. #HumansOfBluesky
