A nice arrival that counterbalances the bald faced hornet sting today (no nest nearby 🤷‍♂️) - love the photos from Antarctica, and super cool of @shearwaterband.bsky.social to include the Executive Producers insert. Listening is certainly an anti-venom for the soul and maybe even my arm.

Ugh, I’m lichen all this attention you’re giving moss … but I guess I just don’t grow on people the same way. 🌿

Finally seeing Brittany Howard / #AlabamaShakes live was a real treat. I’ve also been using the #Adobe Project Indigo app a lot for concerts this year , results are pretty amazing. This is zoomed as far as my phone would go (iPhone15) which was a 25X total digital zoom…not horrible! #ShotoniPhone

About a hundred red-winged blackbirds in my yard right now. I’d say spring migration is here. The vocalizations are something else. (photo - not my yard) #Spring #birds

Ice triangles for #MonochromeMonday and perhaps a #TriangleTuesday 😁 that have surely moved on by now to another phase of the triangle water molecules. 📍Lake St. Clair, Michigan #fractals #H2O #freshwater #naturephotography #abstract #GreatLakes

Here, you can borrow the text from my congressman's response. It is multi-purpose! (I think I prefer yours.)

A little break getting away from news feeds this morning out on Lake St. Clair. After finishing some photography in this spot, I turned around and there was a Bald Eagle sitting up in the tree behind me, probably wondering what I was doing. Sandhill cranes were calling in the distance.

nature photography, but I think it creates a doom feedback loop when I see so much being destroyed. 🥺

In an ideal world, when a tree reaches a certain age, its right to exist should override any decisions of politicians or developers. Especially when it is older than the city or country itself. #trees #naturerights

My own contribution to the wonderful moss feed, northern Michigan forests have plenty of little troll dens, logs with visual character and mossy floors. #moss #Michigan #naturephotography
