A female Common Merganser, the only time I have ever seen one standing. She was just watching the water between preening herself. It was an interesting sight. Seen in Lincoln Park in #Seattle. Still going through pictures to find the best ones to post to ScottWGonzalez.com #Birds #Photography

Happy #StunDay. Here is one of the many Bald Eagles that I saw in #Seattle. From talking to others it is a regular in Lincoln Park and this tree is its regular perch. Many more #bird pics to come and many can be found at ScottWGonzalez.com DM for prints #EastCoastKin #Photography

I am still working on pictures from my trip to Seattle, over 1500 of them. I am not regularly a video taker but Snoqualmie Falls needed some sound and motion to display its magnificence. So here is a link to one of the videos. youtu.be/esYkEX6q-R8

When I saw the photo of trump as Jesus it made me think of my pic for my RN id that was denied because it looked "too Jesusey"

Just passed the TSA checkpoint in Seattle and saw this on one of the empty desks. I learned this backwards and forwards in less than 8 weeks of basic training. Did they get less training than the Basic Training for soldiers? The grunts even knew this.

Happy #StunDay everyone. I am currently in #Seattle with a camera and no computer, so no editing raw files. Here is a Red Winged Blackbird. Jeez I have never seen one in all its glory. I thought is was a different #bird. They are common at times in Vegas just not as well ornamented. #EastCoastKin

Here is the family of four that I could take pictures of. They were high up and would space out from each other so high zoom was pointless.

In the last 2 days of birding near Seattle I have seen 2 Bald Eagle families circling over different areas. Each had 2 adults and 2 juveniles.

Today was a #bird day. I saw at least 10 #lifers, 6 Bald Eagles including a fam of four, a Merganser out of the water, an actual Crow's nest, and defeated a Nemesis bird (Common Yellowthroat). There were more stairs and hills than a regular human should ever have to deal with. Pictures after vacay

Going to #Seattle tomorrow and have most of the day free on Friday. I figured I would stop at some parks and see at least one of the NW Trolls. Over the weekend I will be in the city so I am looking for not city things to do. What are suggestions from my followers or other people?

Happy #StunDay to all and #Easter to those that celebrate. Here is a jumping spider feasting on a Crane Fly that is larger than it. I saw the Crane Fly before seeing the spider. Soon to be seen in in ScottWGonzalez.com/#/slightly-creepy/ folder. DM for prints #EastCoastKin #Photography #Macro

The water in Badwater Basin is really salty. I have never had this many salt crystals form on my tripod before. This was from the recent trip to see the wildflowers (current pfp) and Lake Manly during the day. bsky.app/profile/scot...

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Transgender Day of Visibility. Except transmisiacs, they should fuck off completely.

I felt like this picture did not get enough attention on the original post. I think it turned out really good and demonstrates the vast differences that can happen in the desert.

Yesterday while talking to a woman to make an appointment. I had to say no to several days and mentioned I would be in Seattle with a kid doing a performance at a college. She said "A kid in college? You are only 49." I often feel late to the party kid wise so I was taken aback.

I don’t want to go viral, I just hope to sell one more amazing ice cream recipe before April 1st! Will it be you? 🫂 May I suggest my Malted Milk & Cookies! Malted Milk ice cream with pieces of homemade butter M&M cookies. #icecream #food #foodsky #foodie Here’s my recipe: payhip.com/b/To7pl

Happy #Stunday. I don't normally combine images like this. #BadWaterBasin seen wet and dry. Once I realized that I took the 2 pics in nearly the same spot I wanted to line them up. Being from 2 different cams and sensor formats it was a pain. DM for #print prices. ScottWGonzalez.com #EastCoastKin

A sight I don't usually see. A Greater Roadrunner in a tree. Wherever they are they are always a joy to be around. Photographed in the #ClarkCounty Wetlands in #Nevada More bird photography at ScottWGonzalez.com #Birds #EastCoastKin

I keep meaning to post more photography as a reprieve from the :gestures to the world: Here is the view of Lake Manly from the parking lot barrier. The water in the front is always there from my knowledge. The water people are walking to is infrequent More photos at ScottWGonzalez.com #DeathValley

Happy #StunDay! I am currently busy catching up on chores so not a lot of time find a new picture, so a repost will have to do. A pano of Lake Manly in #DeathValley with the Panamint Range reflected at #Sunset. DMs are open for #prints. Check ScottWGonzalez.com for more pics. #EastCoastKin

Dearest #bluesky humans. I am curious if the non #healthcare people feel safer or not by a person who is about to put an IV needle in them saying that they have successfully given themselves IVs.

I believe this is most if not all of the Panamint Range in #DeathValley. A panorama of the sunset reflected in Lake Manly in Badwater Basin. DMs are open for prints even if I have no idea how I would print this pano with my current printer. More @ ScottWGonzalez.com #photography #california #art

It has been a day. Kids not doing requested chores, a doc canceled their cases so I had to find busy work, went to the wrong store for a pickup, at the right store I stepped in dog poop, plus other things I don't want to go into. However I got a book in the mail so the day got 65% better instantly.

Changed my profile pic. In case anyone was interested here is the full image with alt text. #DeathValley #Superbloom

Happy #StunDay. I know late again. A child and I just got back from #DeathValley and it's so good. Flowers are all over and Lake Manly it still showing off. First time I have seen it during the day. No notes. More #photography can be found at ScottWGonzalez.com. DM for #prints. #eastcoastkin

Happy Pi day! I was a little overzealous when I went to Macgyver a pie. I had extra Boston cream from a previous pie so I was like graham cracker crust with Boston cream and blueberries would be perfect. I added apples bc it looked pathetic and it still does. #pi #pie #sad

1 year ago, we had our first viral moment and grew to 4,000 users overnight. Now, our community is 140,000 strong 🥹 Happy International Women’s Day 💖 A great day to switch from Goodreads to an indie, female-founded alternative! Pagebound is like if Goodreads & Reddit had a baby 🫶

Fyi, if you want to support a small business, it’s seriously uncool to share their work on Reddit. Hype them up, sure, but let the masses know where/how they can support too, rather than copy/pasting their work in the comment section. Thanks for considering!

I just had a realization. An official US government video had one of the people in it flipping off the camera and for all intents the Americans who watched the video.

Not sure why it say 4,000 in the article, their own website says 50k+ satellites by 2035. The FCC public comments are still open as of this writing. darksky.org/news/two-sat...

Public comment period is still open

Plz do not sleep on my Salted Honey ice cream. This divine creation is perfectly balanced with notes of your favorite honey, creamy dairy, and wisps of salt. Perfect on top of a piece of homemade cornbread! 🤤 My recipe: payhip.com/b/JCdj2 #icecream #food #foodie #foodsky #honey #homemadeicecream

If you have the means and clear skies go check out the Moon and/or the #Lunar #Eclipse tomorrow morning. I will miss it as the photo shows I am in Disneyland and will be expected to be highly functional tomorrow. I only had a 28-60mm lens with me so no close up #Moon.

My goal today is to sell at least one of my delicious homemade ice cream recipes! Can you help me reach my goal? #icecream 🍦🍦🍦 payhip.com/SweetLosIceC...

Happy #StunDay to all! We went to #DeathValley NP. The wildflowers are blooming, not sure I would say #SuperBloom there are so many flowers though. Here is a #Desert Gold showing off in front of Artists Palette. More nature #photography at ScottWGonzalez.com #EastCoastKin #California

I had a Frnch parent on my kids team complaining about their taxes in France after she said college is paid for, there is universal healthcare, and there is retirement benefits. I would willingly pay more taxes to have all of that. Meanwhile in the US we have this :points around to all the BS here:

I am several minutes late. Happy #StunDay! Here is a picture from #Sequoia National Forest. I look forward to going back and spending weeks. One of the many rapids and waterfalls that I saw. More #Waterfall pictures are ScottWGonzalez.com

I hope everyone Women in STEM had a day free of men trying to take credit for their work or ideas. Ideally that should be the standard sadly it is not.

I saw somewhere that the #BirdoftheDay post was supposed to be #blue. Here is the first and only time I photographed a Mountain Blue Bird. bsky.app/profile/scot...

Hey Black folks that make ice cream: let me give you a coupon code for my ice cream recipes! Message me! Happy Black History Month! ❤️ If this isn’t you, please share and repost so it can find the folks it’s meant for! Thanks!

Running late on #StunDay which just happened to be #Superb_Owl day. Here is one of the Great Horned Owletts that I came across in Sunset Park in #LasVegas Looks like it caught and scored a #touchdown to me. Marked sensitive for the catch. More Superb Owl #photos at ScottWGonzalez.com

Exactly 20 years ago right now I was on a first date with Jennifer. It changed my life for the better.

It has been a while since I have been sick on my birthday. The flu kicked my ass for the last 2 days, I am currently on the mend. I got useful gifts (a theater projector and new comfy slippers) and one thoughtful one (pictured).

The buns and bread we have in the house are stale so this was my #dinner. I didn't realize until after I started cooking the #hamburger patty. It looks like a keto diet* to me. *Never been on a keto diet so I could be wrong.

Happy #StunDay! Here is a #photo that will be in an #exhibition called #LoveLettersToVegas this Saturday. I will post a link for the event in the comments. If you are or plan on being in #Vegas next weekend RSVP. "Khonsu in Vegas" More photos @ ScottWGonzalez.com #EastCoastKin #Artist #photography
