How are you this fluffy? How is this possible?

Artemis, an extremely incredibly wildly fluffy grey tabby sits on a very cluttered grey coffee table, staring straight ahead. She has a little tuft of white on her chest

Another tulip festival shot, this time on film from my Ektar H35

A shot taken from below two rows of tulips. The left row is red and yellow and the right is pink and white. They stretch out and converge in the center of the image. The sky above is clear and blue

Tulip festival photo from my #charmera. It's so fun to play around with, I love it

Rows of tulips stretch from the foreground to the center of the image, red, then yellow, then pink. In the far distance, Mt. Hood is just visible rising over the field, and several people dot the horizon line. The sky is a bright blue. The entire image is hazy like an old film shot

now somebody, anybody, everybody scream

A western meadowlark is perched on a twig with another twig climbing the right side of the image and clear blue sky behind. He is screaming with his mouth fully open

I don't just take bad pictures of birds, I also take bad pictures of flowers

A white camellia, partially open, in the center of the frame. Dew drops are still on the petals and its in the center of three dark green leaves

I think passerines are my favorite to photograph, because the bold ones will let you get really close

A song sparrow perched on a twig, surrounded on it's right side by light grey twigs and branches. On the left side, the twigs fade out to blue sky. The song sparrow is perched at a slant and his head is turned to make one-eye contact with the camera

I feel like I'm getting better at birds. Not better at focus or exposure though

You can go to Oaks Bottom and take pictures, they have to let you

A white egret stands in the shallow water visible through an arch of tree branches and moss. He's reflected in the ripples below him

A blue heron perches on a jutting log in the lower right of the frame. In the background, several ducks congregate in the water and on another log perch in front of a mass of grasses. The heron looks over his shoulder at the camera as if to say "can you believe these assholes?"

A bald eagle is perched on a branch with another branch crossing in front of it from the bottom left. He's looking over his shoulder stoically with his tail feathers fluffed out just a bit

A wood duck glides through the water leaving soft ripples. A log cuts across the bottom right of the frame and there are branches in the soft focus foreground and near the duck

The suet cage continues to pay off in spades folks

A downy woodpecker hangs off the side of a green suet cage, a bit of his tail peeks out from the bottom

Beautiful day whale watching in Depoe Bay yesterday, got to see this special little guy

A grey speckled harbor seal reclines in a shallow puddle on a rock. He's tilted on this side, looking at the camera as if it's an annoyance

I bought a suet cage that suction cups onto my balcony door and I gotta say, great investment

A chestnut-backed chickadee peeks out from behind a green suet cage, perched on it perpendicular to the cage

I finally took the leap to my first real camera, and I'm really enjoying learning so far. The amanita was shot using just auto settings, but I played around with the settings for the bridge shot. Critiques/advice gratefully welcome #beginnerphotography

The St. John's bridge in Portland shot from below. The cathedral-like arches rise up from the right side of the image with the bridge extending from bottom right to top left. A conifer-lined hill rises in the background, the top ridge shrouded in fog that blends into the background

A fly agaric shot up close, with the ridge of its gills just visible under the red-orange cap. It's in the grass, surrounded by a bit of leaf litter

I got my first roll of film in 20 years developed, and this is far and away the best picture of the bunch

Artemis, a grey tabby with close-cropped fur is lying on a pillow on a bed in a strange configuration of limbs with one of her back paws facing the camera, beans out. She's looking up from the pillow at the camera with deep annoyance

I've lived in the Portland metro for nearly 10 years and somehow never made it up to Cathedral Park before last weekend

The St. John's bridge, a blue steel art deco bridge with suspension towers that look like cathedral doors, is set in the lower right side of the image with the conifer-covered hills rising behind it. It's framed by branches of yellow leaves on the top and left side of the image

A couple arboretum shots from maybe the last good weather weekend for a while

A yellow ginkgo leaf is in center frame with a flurry other leaves behind it. The morning dew is visible on the leaf, reflecting the clear blue sky on the other side

A small group of tiny mushrooms crop up from a moss-covered log

It's a good thing she's in the kitchen because she is serving

You can just go to a dahlia field in the mountains and take pictures, they have to let you

A yellow blooming dahlia stands out against a blurry field of other brightly colored dahlias. A ridge of hills borders the far background

An orange and yellow wide open dahlia stands out on the left side of the frame in front of several bushes. Mountain ridges rise in the distance and the sky is a perfect blue with a few hazy clouds

Love to see my Glup Shitto in person

DJ Rex, formerly Star Tours Captain Rex, spins the hits from his very star wars-y diy booth. He's a droid with a flat oblong head, a long thin neck, a cylindrical body, and robot grabber arms

After a lot (A LOT) of trial and error, I think I finally succeeded at a slow shutter speed waterfall shot

One of the many waterfalls at silver falls State Park. The falls cascade over a rocky overhang that protects a railed path. The water hits rocks below and spreads out before flowing to a basin. Because of the slow shutter speed, the water is blurry, giving the appearance of fluffy strands

Took a real banger of a photo at the Oregon Garden today

This post brought to you by this shirt, which I love and am obsessed with. It fits me on top but I'm bursting out of the bottom like a manosphere podcaster that workwear guy would mock

A screenshot of the hot topic product page for "Pikmin Character Clover Woven Button Up." As the name implies, it's a button up with Pikmin and clover

Please shame her: she was put in baby jail because the landlords are coming over for an inspection and she immediately puked in the baby jail

Did you know that a 10k can be harder than a marathon? Because I found that out today

You guys missed this in case you were wondering

Also, if you live in San Francisco, the Pikmin Bloom scavenger hunt is actually really fun and the Pikmin window displays are darling. You should check it out if you have time, it's only about a 3 block radius from Union Square

A map of the Pikmin Bloom scavenger hunt locations. The map starts at Union Square and bottom to top, they're at: O'Farley and Powell, Heart and Powell, Sutter and Powell, and Sutter between Stockton and Grant

Also, someone good at cell phone pictures help me with this technique: I shot with a slower shutter speed looking for the kind of fluffy appearance you get in pro shots of waterfalls, but I don't know how to account for all the extra light that gets let in as a result
