The “Gumdrop” is a formation of vibrant, swirling layers of red, orange, and pink sandstone in the Coyotte Buttes South area of the Paria Canyon–Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. Getting there requires a permit, a high-clearance 4WD vehicle, and a hike through remote desert terrain. #naturephotography

Bittersweet decision, but I’m done with #birdphotography. After years of frustration and thousands of blurry shots chasing erratic birds, I’m throwing in the towel to focus on slower moving subjects. #SlowAndSteady #ChasingGlaciers #MovingMountains

Does it get better than a crisp mountain sunrise with a stroopwafel warming on hot coffee in a folding mug? Unlikely, but I’m searching.

(In the voice of Dennis) Listen. Glorified squirrels that dig holes are no basis for a meteorological forecast. Atmospheric modeling comes from advanced climatological systems, not some furry rodent popping out of a hole. #mammals #naturephotography

I talked to journalists and writers who have found a larger and more engaged audience for their work on Bluesky, without having to see “AI bots and Nazis” at the top of their replies. www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-...

Stop and reflect
A great egret standing in water in profile, bent over with an S-shaped neck and its long yellow beak pointed down about to touch the water, with the bird reflected beneath it in the relatively still water, with the beaks of the bird and its reflection nearly touching.

welcome to all new bluesky users. please keep in mind that it is still in beta. there are many features still missing, so please be patient. for example, you may notice that this app loads posts and then shows them to you, instead of not doing that for some reason.
