🍄‍🟫 A miscellaneous mushroom in moss to cap off this majestic weekend. #mushrooms #fungifriends #fungiphotography #NaturePhotography

🍄‍🟫 🍃 🍄 As the seasons change, and rain gives way to more heat, it’s awesome to have a variety of colors and contrast. #mushrooms #fungifriends #fungiphotography #NaturePhotography

🍄 🍄‍🟫 Some delicate little things on this lovely Friday. 📍 Trail, Oregon - USA #mushrooms #fungifriends #fungiphotography #NaturePhotography

🪶 🌼 Adolescent I’iwi feeding on some nectar. 📍 Hosmer Grove, Haleakala, Maui, Hawaii The grove was a surreal experience. Something out of an adventure book. Towering eucalyptus trees, bird songs, and scattered light. #BirdsOfBlueSky #BskyBirds #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography

🪶 Adult I’iwi 📍 Maui, Hawaii 🌋 Haleakala #BirdsOfBlueSky #BskyBirds #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography

🪶 Adolescent I’iwi 📍 Maui, Hawaii #birdphotography #HawaiianBirds #Birding #BirdsOfBlueSky #WildlifePhotography

The Hawaiian Coot has ~1,800 individual birds left in existence. This Hawaiian Coot (with the rare reddish-brown shield) is 1 of only 15-54 remaining… Not the best image, but possibly the last I’ll see. #birdphotography #HawaiianBirds #Birding #BirdsOfBlueSky #WildlifePhotography @nature.org

House of the (rising) sun - Haleakala 🌄 High above the coastlines, high above the clouds, the sun spreads its warmth over the Haleakala Crater. You instantly feel its warmth after shivering for hours beforehand 🥶 #Haleakala #SunrisePhotography #LandscapePhotography #BskyPhotography #Maui

The Milky Way over the summit of Haleakala on Maui. Usually the moonlight is a downside for Astro, but this night it helped to highlight the clouds while giving way JUST enough for the stars and galaxies. 📍 #Haleakala #MilkyWay #astrophotography #nightphotography #BskyPhotography

🌋 Haleakala sunrise? Nope - how about Haleakala moonrise? 🌖 The pre dawn views always draw me back to the early morning hours above 9,000 feet. This shot of the unique contour of Haleakala’s crater lit up by a breathtaking moonlight. #Haleakala #Maui #Hawaii #NaturePhotography #volcano

🦎 Fun fact - 🍯 Gold Dust Day Geckos are nectar and fruit addicts! In this case, they emerge from the banana tree bark snacking on gnats until they find their sweet sweet payoff! (Reposted since the multi image carousel doesn’t work) #Gecko #DayGecko #Herpetology #WildlifePhotography #Hawaii

As the Maui sun rises, these beauties emerge from their cozy hiding places to soak up the warm rays. ☀️ This one took to the spotlight and paused JUST long enough to show off his colors. 😊 #NaturePhotography #GoldDustDayGecko #Hawaii #Maui #iNaturalist

Reintroducing the Gold Dust Day Gecko 🦎 Originally from Madagascar, they were introduced to Oahu Hawaii in the 1970s and spread to Maui through the pet trade and accidental releases. #NaturePhotography #GoldDustDayGecko #HawaiiWildlife #MauiNature #NatureOfBlueSky #iNaturalist

Brown and busted? -or- Bold and beautiful? Let me know what you think! If you ask me, there’s beauty in the breakdown. #mushrooms #fungifriends 🍄 #fungiphotography #NaturePhotography

A tiny mushroom pushing through melting ice—just doing its thing while the forest shifts seasons around it. It’s a bit ironic how these can be the most delicate living things out there, yet they can be found almost any time. Crazy… #mushrooms #fungifriends 🍄 #fungiphotography #NaturePhotography

I’m convinced that every log has a story. 🪵 Tiny bugs and mushrooms making tiny little civilizations for all to enjoy if you take a moment to stop and observe. 👀 #mushrooms #fungifriends 🍄 #fungiphotography #NaturePhotography

Yes, we got some ❄️ today. Just a few tiny flakes. No, this picture is not from today’s snowfall. Just have a lot of pictures to share. 😅 #hummingbird #naturephotography #birdphotography #birding #birdsofbsky

❄️ 🪶 🍁 When you thought Winter was over, then see the Cascades are getting more snow… Thankfully these Anna’s Hummingbirds are loyal and stick in the area year round. 📷 Sony A7riii + Tamron 150-500 #hummingbird #birdphotography #BskyWildlife

🪶 This guy’s itching for summer to get here! With the changing seasons comes change in wildlife. Soon I’ll have some posts of what the Spring migration has brought us! #hummingbird #birdphotography #BskyWildlife

A few more Anna’s to wrap up the colder seasons. 🪶 ❄️ 🍁 This one seemed to be enjoying what was likely the last snowfall we will get this year. #hummingbird #birdphotography #BskyWildlife

The incredible textures of Bardenas Réales in Spain… #photography

Sporophytes FTW! 🙌 😎 Even if there aren’t fungi around, the Pacific Northwest ALWAYS has moss somewhere. When there’s moss, there’s these little beauties! #WaterDropPhotography #NatureMacro #MacroWater

Drop of water 💧 on some sort of cocoon? It’s not a spittlebug foam nest, so maybe something else? Either way, loving the reflection in the drop. A little PNW mini wonder moment. 😄 #WaterDropPhotography #NatureMacro #MacroWater

Let’s dial into some other types of delicate subjects. 🔎 💧 When you think you don’t have a “subject”, just slow down and look for some moisture. Then it’s just a matter of angle and lighting. #WaterDropPhotography #NatureMacro #MacroWater

Masca, the valley of the light #landscape #photography #nature

A nice little duo for a rainy Oregon Thursday. 🍄‍🟫 🍄‍🟫 Can you see #3 hiding? On a daily walk or hike, it can be incredibly easy to miss these little wonders, but if you slow down and actively look for them, there is a whole other world out there to see! #mushrooms #fungi #macrophotography
