This is Ashland Creek. It's where I taught myself how to do landscape photography. Even more importantly, I was standing barefoot in this creek when I proposed to @loaf11.bsky.social. Best thing I ever did.

We were driving up a mountain road on a gorgeous autumn day, hoping to find a Great Gray Owl. Then we got a sign. 🪶 #birds #owls

Lovely light. The sun was in and out this day... mostly in. I set up and waited, hoping the perfect window would open in the clouds and, it did. #BryceCanyonNationalPark #landscape #photography #nature
A cloudy day at Bryce Canyon National Park when a shaft of sunlight bursts through the clouds and illuminates the orange, psychedelic, castle-like hoodoos.

I was scanning a cliffside at Lava Beds National Monument and did a double-take when I came across this Barn Owl deep within a crevasse. At first, I thought it was standing at an angle, but it was actually leaning on the wall. The sun was setting and it was just waking up. 🪶 #birds #owls

~ Fishing in the Creek ~ What a thrill it was to sit on a dune and watch these brown pelicans dive for fish in the shallows. There's just something about freshwater flowing into the ocean that has always fascinated me. 🪶 #birds #wildlife #oregoncoast

Those eyes. 😍 Happy #caturday #cat
Bright blue eyes of a seal point siamese cat glow against her dark face which is clearly full of mischief as she plots her next move from the top of the cat tree.

Getting frosty out there. #nature #photography #frost
Three layers of frost. Thickly frosted grasses in the foreground, middle layer of frosted shrubbery and tall frosted willows in the back.Open, frosty landscape with one grand willow on the right. You can see sky through the fog in places. Frosty grasses and reeds along a frozen canal.Wide shot of frozen canal and dirt road heading toward a heavily frosted bank of willows on the left and one lone willow on the right.
