Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge yesterday. It's a bit of a way to go for a day trip but it's the one thing keeping us sane these days. With jay.newman.bsky.social. #nature #photography #wildlife

Dirt road on the left passing a long, still expanse of water that for many years has been dry due to drought.

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.

I swear Mogwai is the wiggliest cat I've ever had. Very hard to get pictures of! So I have resorted to filters to make it seem like I totally meant to only take blurry photos becuase art and stuff. Happy #Caturday. #cat

Shasta's Peculiar Hat. What's with these majestic mountains and their weird fashion sense? Mt. Shasta usually gets these lenticular clouds whenever I'm unavailable to photograph them, but somehow I got lucky this time. #nature #photography #clouds #landscape

Mt. Shasta in northern California. Sage, rabbit brush and juniper in the foreground. The mountain is snow-capped and a spaceship-looking lenticular cloud hovers around the peak.

Snow Goose Migration. The Klamath and Tule Lake Wildlife Refuges in Northern California have long been a stopover spot for these and many other migrating birds, turning winter into my favorite season. #birds #usbirding #wildlife #photography #nature #migration

This osprey was enjoying a fishy feast when I rudely interrupted for a photo. Little did he know I wasn't interested in scaling a forty foot pole that day... or any day, really. #bird #usbirding #wildlife #photography #nature

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

People are tired of being disposable. I know I didn't choose to not feel empathy for this man. I just didn't. I heard the news and was shocked, but not sad. For me this is unusual and I'm not proud of it, but it's honestly where I'm landing on this one.

Sunset and Sea Stacks. The Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor along the Southern Oregon coast is my favorite stretch of coastline. We don't get out there often but when we do, a nice sunset really makes the trip. #nature #landscape #photography #oregon

Quiet waves wash against scattered sea stacks with a pink and orange glow in the aky.

The fact that he just says, "I don't know anything about Project 2025," and everyone is just like, "Okay yeah. Well that clears that right up," makes me silent scream on the daily.

As a kid, it was always a special treat to see deer in the wild. Where I live now in southern Oregon, urban deer are plentiful. They use the crosswalks more than people do. That still doesn't diminish the beauty of seeing them out in nature though. #naturephotography #wildlife #deer #buck
