This morning had an unexpected rainbow at sunrise. #sunrise #rainbow #photography

I was going through some really old photos of me, and I came across this one of me and Steve Martin in Saudi Arabia 1990. #stevemartin #marinecorps #usmc #backintheday

One of his more debonair poses. . #classycat #cat #cats #catlife #catphoto #pet #pets #bnw #blackandwhite #photography

It’s not the best photo, this acorn woodpecker was a long distance away, but it’s the first time I’ve seen or heard one on our property. Others seen here before: pileated, red-breasted sapsucker, hairy, downey, and northern flicker. . #birding #birder #woodpecker #acornwoodpecker #birdphotography

It’s been interesting around here. Photography has taken a standstill as my wife recovers from surgery, I may need surgery and our daughter was diagnosed with mono! And for good measure, an unrelated infection for me. I have to laugh. 🤣 I can’t be too “poor me” as many have it much worse. But, 🤷‍♂️?

Another pick of our neighborhood long-tailed weasel. . #weasel #longtailedweasel #carnivor #mustalids #wildlife #wildlifephotography #mammal #wildlifephoto #wildlifelovers #photography

A long-tailed weasel. This was the first time I’ve seen one on our property. They are obligate carnivores, so we are counting one him to help keep the rodents in check. . #photography #wildlifephotography #weasel #oregon #wildlife
