September favorites. I've been trying slow shutter speeds (hummingbird at 1/50s), enjoying residents (phoebe) & vagrants (waterthrush) and finally got a darn wrentit to sit still long enough for a photo (it's been a struggle). 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay

One of my first bird photos (with a fresh edit this morning 😅). This marsh wren is from 2023 when I rented an Olympus OM-1 camera to try things out (I eventually ended up buying a much heavier setup 😂). Looking at it now I realize it's not really in focus 🙈 #BirdOfTheDay 🪶

As a west coast resident there's no greater feeling than opening your calendar in the morning and seeing that all your east coast colleagues canceled everything while you were sleeping.

Nothing better than stumbling on a #MilkNoir by accident. Stephen McNally has a bank to rob, but first he must enjoy a delicious glass of buttermilk. VIOLENT SATURDAY (1955) turned out to be a real banger! 🥛 ❤️

The San Francisco garter snake is endemic to the San Francisco peninsula and has been listed on the federal endangered species list since 1967. I was lucky to see both a young snake and an adult snake at Año Nuevo State Park this weekend. 🐍
