I have a request for the internet. Star Wars home improvement videos! Like Tim the tool man, but with lightsabers and the force.

Fog lifting from the Yellowstone River at Sunrise, Over Yellowstone River Canyon From Tower Falls Overlook, 9-10-25 #stunday #yellowstonenationalpark #landscape #iphonephoto

Ahhh, Yellowstone! I fall in love with you all over again every day I'm in the park. Sunrise, Yellowstone River Near Alum Creek, Hayden Valley, YNP 9-15-25 Photo Safari with 2 amazing guests started off w/ a bang! #stunday #landscape #yellowstonenationalpark #sunrise #iphonephoto

Today is the last day to comment on proposed rescission of the Roadless Rule! The 58 million acres of forest protected by the Roadless Rule store vast amounts of carbon, provide vital habitat for fish and wildlife species, and are more resilient to wildfire (despite false claims). Comment here 👇🏼

"You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved”. AA Ignant is full of work by & profiles on contemporary designers & artists. Check it out & see more!

Running around this morning like the proverbial chicken I started coffee and then moved on to the rest of the stuff I had to get done. As soon as I reached a good break point, I went back for coffee. I had neglected to turn the machine on. 🙄

Don't let MAGA ruin our nation's wild landscapes! Once they are gone, they can never be restored. Have you made your comments in support of the Roadless Rule yet? The deadline is tomorrow! Follow this link to comment and tell Trump why the rule is important to you! Do it now!

To all my fellow BlueSky creatives. Keep on bein' you! #toddrundgren #individualist #creatives

I was a misfit in high school. A photographer/artist/naturalist, a handful of friends got it. One of those just commented on FB, "You are the only one, that I can remember, who knew exactly who you were and what you wanted to do as a kid and did it! I love your posts and photography" 😍 #successful

Yesterday we lucked into perfect conditions for making photographs of Yellowstone's Old Faithful! Dark background, quartering wind, and a sunbeam blazed down and lit the geyser like it was in an art gallery. 😍 #yellowstone #supervolcano #landscape

This promises to be a fun, informative talk with the head of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory! Come down (or up) to Gardiner for dinner in one of our great restaurants and learn about the Yellowstone Super Volcano from the expert!

A hopeful essay wrt the worsening climate catastrophe www.theguardian.com/news/2025/se...

24 years ago, and so fresh in my mind. This made us all stand shoulder to shoulder as a nation, and also the world stood shoulder to shoulder with America. Such a stark contrast to today. Will the sacrifice and pain of 911 just fade from our collective memory, to be replaced by hate and fascism?

Hey, it is #bluesky #stunday! Here is a photograph I'm currently working on, most likely not the finished version. 🙂 #shotoncanon #landscape #nationalparks #eosr5

Forest fires in Wyoming, Idaho, and the brimstone fire west of Yellowstone Lake have much of Yellowstone country, including the northern gate, shrouded and fog this evening. Think good thoughts for the #wildlandfirefighters , and think rain! #yellowstone #smoke #thisisglobalwarming

Found some photos from Sweden 2022 when I was there for my son's wedding! This was a beautiful spot, can't recall the name.

Winners were to have been notified yesterday, so if you entered and haven't heard your results yet - SPOILER ALERT! Fantastic presentation of about a bazillion photos, focusing on the 30 highest scoring near the end. A solid investment of 16 minutes of your day. Grab a beverage and Enjoy! 🙂 📷

I think when we blame "Them" for our troubles we have to at least accept the possibility that "We" are part of "Them." Great leaders know that when there's a problem, whining about who's to blame doesn't fix the fucking problem. They make a plan, fix the damn thing, and move on to the next thing.

Going into nature is going home. The point of forest bathing (or desert bathing, marsh bathing, beach bathing, etc) is to immerse yourself fully in the experience while you're there & appreciate the experience at all levels, as a creature in the environment, not as a tourist hurriedly passing by.

“National park visitation is growing, with record-high visitor numbers in 2024 across the entire system. And there has been a general trend of people gravitating to Instagram-popular parks, and even specific spots within popular parks.” Don’t geotag wild areas! #tagresponsibly

Let my bison go! To expand their range into the national forest surrounding Yellowstone, where they can spread their amazing ecological benefits . 🦬 www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts...

Here in Gardiner, Montana Memorial Day Weekend means it's time for the Hell's A Roarin Horse Drive! Here are some of the wranglers moving stock up to the ranch in Jardin for the summer.

When Macs have a pending update they become a petulant Bitch. And not in a good way!

Happy #WorldPhotographyDay ! My roots are black and white photography, and I still feel that most "serious" photography happens in this space, so I've decided to stop trying to do everything well (for the moment, any way) and concentrate on black and white for a bit. #bwphotography #minimalist #bw

This! I have a problem with people who say that they are "self-taught photographers." That's just bullshit. We all stand on the shoulders of Giants, some living, and so many who are already gone. Please give credit where credit is due!

I'm posting some black and white photos I've been working on in 3 posts. Hope you enjoy them 🙂 Finally is "Yosemite Falls over the Merced River" Description in Alt Text #landscapes #fineartphotography #B+W #Yosemite #mountains #clouds #rivers #black&white #mercedriver #waterfalls #yosemitefalls

Just added a new journal entry to our website, "Our Statement On Ethics In Nature Photography and Eco Tourism."

Chalk up one for the wolves!!! wildearthguardians.org/press-releas...

I put out a little dish of water for birds because the drought is so bad. I noticed shortly after that it was empty and thought it must have a leak so I filled it up again and resolved to watch it closely. Nope, no leak!

Bear Spray Works! Don’t go into Bear country without it.

My treasure from thrift books finally arrived! Ansel Adams biography. And it’s totally legal, removed stamp shown. The library card was a huge, unexpected bonus!

I think that the fact that the Earth has neither an interstellar space port or galactic space station speaks volumes about other planets’ assessment of the human race.

Yellowstone is a wonderland, but it has many very real dangers that anyone visiting the region need to understand and respect. buckrail.com/17-year-old-...

Yesterday evening at Midway Geyser Basin’s Grand Prismatic Spring. Still Grand. #yellowstone #publicland #landscape #photography #iphonephoto #sunset #sunshine

Hindostan Falls on the White River, Southern Indiana, Lte Summer Digitally enhanced picture of an old black and white print from a 4x5 negative, shot in the mid-1980's. I lost all of the negatives of this era to a wet storage unit. 😪 #photography #black&whilte #bwphotography #landscapes #stunday

The defunding of USAID was the American Wannsee, the moment the ruling party’s psychosis and disregard for human life led them to choose to kill millions of innocents for its own sake. There is no normal politics possible after that, and no one has understood that yet (not even me, at a gut level).

"A small number of companies are responsible for most climate change." OK, but companies are just legal fictions that collect and obscure the actions of the people who control them - mainly owners, executives, and major shareholders. These people are overwhelmingly millionaires and billionaires.

A little Yellowstone humor.

Any questions? 🙂

It’s still going. 🤣 #PedoPresident

all right, critter lovers, who's got next? www.coonhoundrescue.com/FOSTER.html

I think we should restore bison more widely. I'd rather have native wild bison living in our national forests and BLM lands than domestic livestock. Am I crazy? (I mean, relating to this opinion only, not big picture crazy. That question's been answered.). 😉 www.wildhope.tv/episode/thun...

Sunset over Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone NP One of my happiest places! 🙂 #stunday #iphonephoto #photography #landscape #summer #lake #beach #sunset #sunwins

Friends, having spent most of my life in and around local, county, state, and national govt, one of the things I’ve learned to be universally true in politics is that people only show up to meetings and polling places when they’re really pissed off.
