irishlazz @irishlazz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #ABCD, any bird name with any of these letters. American Bittern gets 2 points! Second time seen in person, way better photos. LOVE how he tipped his head ALL the way up so he could get a good binocular look at me - truly engineered for his fishing style. 1101

irishlazz @irishlazz.bsky.social · 03/06/2026 At first I was intrigued by the lone white flower (double daffodil?) in the middle of what will be a bunch of deep purple irises.

irishlazz @irishlazz.bsky.social · 20/11/2025#wordphoto I was driving with no place to pull over and no decent camera with me, so I can only attempt to describe (maybe eventually sketch) how beautiful this scene was..... As you crest the hill the wide valley in front of you is already falling into shadow as the sun dips low behind you. 100
