Gangis months do something similar, but from the back end. It's an inflatable pheromone apparatus.

Peaceful late afternoon in the spring. The grasses are all green now, and that's nice, but I do enjoy how they can also look golden. #photography #birds #landscapes

A swan swims in a calm, narrow pond flanked by tall grasses on either side.

Marsh textures. This particular boardwalk trail isn't so great for birds, so I tend to look downward instead. #photography #nature #landscape #wetland

Very late to the party, but this is my "strawberry moon" photo from a few weeks ago. The clouds really helped to give it some character, I think. #photography #moon

If you can enjoy the small things, you'll never run out of subject matter to shoot #photography #stunday #landscapes

Don't mind if I do! Here's a nice snapper from earlier this spring. My offer of friendship was not accepted, but maybe that's for the best since we probably have very different interests. #wildlife #photography #herps

Large snapping turtle laying low in the water with the top half of its shell and its eyes and nose exposed. The photo is shot from the turtle's eye level.

My favourite mallards are the ones that prefer the seclusion of tiny woodland ponds rather than the open water with other ducks. #photography #blueskyartshow #birds

Same but different These pied billed grebes live outside my home and I love their hoots and hollers. These photos aren't from this year. I've only seen their babies in the open like this one season, though they've been here for 7 years. #birds #photography #mothership

Pied billed grebes with two tiny chicks on her back, peeking out from behind her wing feathers

Adult grebe has brought a small fish to feed her chicks, but the fish is comically large compared to the chick trying to swallow it

I was looking through old photo folders for a specific bird shot I've lost track of and found George's kitten photos instead. So I guess it's #caturday now 🤷🏻‍♂️ #photography #cats

Good morning from the marsh! This frog is delighted to see you, though it's hard to tell. He's an inscrutable fellow. #photography #wildlife #nature #frog

A photo of a green frog at eye level. It's sitting among some grass at the edge of a pond. We can only assume its intentions for us are good.

My first #scapeday post Just some local scenery earlier this spring featuring a complimentary #bird for those who celebrate. #photography #wildlife #nature #landscape

A photo of a wetland at the edge of a lake. The water is quite calm and the evergreen trees in the background are reflected in it. There is a silhouetted swan in the foreground, floating in the lake water.

The first time I've ever seen a bowfin swimming with her swarm of tiny babies. The raw photos were so flat and dark that I had to take a stylized approach to ressurect them. Never before has the dehaze slider been slammed so hard, lol #photography #wildlife #fish #nature

Bowfin fish swimming in shallow water with her tiny babies swarming around her. The babies look similar to tadpoles.

Bowfin fish swimming with the swarm of baby fish clustered around her body like a thick blanket. Mama fish's head pokes out from under the swarm.

Close up view of the tiny tadpole-like bowfin babies. Unlike tadpoles, they have recognizable fish anatomy despite their size.

I've had a rough year so far, but I'm finally ready to post again! Here's a carp from earlier this spring. Tomorrow, I'll post three shots of a bowfin swimming with its swarm of tiny babies. #photography #wildlife #fish

Black and white photo of a carp swimming in shallow water as seen from above.

I don't like posting this kind of thing. But art is supposed to be expressive, and this is all I can express today. The only thing worse than worrying about the imminent future is knowing for certain that it's the worst case scenario. #photography #wildlife #death

A crow looks over the body of a dead fox partially covered by blown snow on a frozen lake. It evokes death and sadness.

When I was four, I set a family precedent for giving pets just-a-bit-old-fashioned names when I named our cat Sheila. She was actually named after a Robert Munsch book character since I had no appreciation of naming conventions at the time. Sheila lived to to 21, and now I have George, age 4.

From this perspective, it almost seems like an object made to be photographed rather than anything practical #Blueskyartshow #patterns #photography #blackandwhite

It's bitterly cold outside. Please join me in enjoying this delightfully unfrozen pond with birds that are chillin' in the good way. #photography #birds #wildlife

Nice lil birb with snowflakes. The chickadees in this spot are so accustomed to being fed that they will land on your hand repeatedly even if you don't have seeds. I admit it's funny seeing them get visibly annoyed at being trolled. #birds #photography #wildlife

Last summer's turtles in black and white. I like how happy the sunbathers look. And also how dinosaur-like the snapper looks. #herps #photography #wildlife

Swan #3: "Dangit Carl, come back and quit breaking the formation. That nice photographer over there is being so patient while you're being rude." Carl: *honk* #photography #wildlife #blackandwhite

Five swans in a line. Four are close together and alternating between "bum in the air" and "facing left" while the first in line is separated and facing away

These planes being 65 years old also means they need to be replaced imminently. I don't know what The Snowbirds will fly next but this model will feel sentimental in hindsight #photography #aviation

The overlapping patterns caught my eye. I usually default to B&W for this kind of thing and make it more abstract, but leaving the sand colour in felt better this time. #photography #landscape

Just around the corner from the previous photo. A wet, marshy stretch between dunes. The beach is to the left. #photography #landscape

A trail worn into sand with a bare tree and a small evergreen off to the right side. Tall grasses in the background indicate a wet area. Behind that, a dune with thin, bare trees along the top.

Just another photo of the same demonstration team. It still *kinda* works for 'layers' because of the hazy white smoke...but mostly it's just cool how they seem to be emerging from a cloud. #photography #aviation

Stunt flying team in formation with red, green, and white smoke trails behind them (the colours of the Italian flag). Some planes are obscured by white smoke from a previous pass.

Just something from a walk yesterday. There's a big beach on the other side of that tree-lined dune. #photography #landscape
