She was amazing in every measure of the word, I have no idea why her story connected with me so strongly as a young white male in the deep south, but it did, and I'm lucky for it. She'll remain an inspiration my entire life.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Do you think if I start taking folic acid I'll stop hyper focusing on release the Epstein files?

Love this lighting!

While I was not Jimmy Kimmel's biggest fan, I think in these times, the most important thing to honor his show's legacy is to release the Epstein Files

Today, as we reflect on the legacy of Robert Redford, we should honor him by releasing the Epstein Files

Been on a macro kick lately, this Snowberry Clearwing being one of my favorite finds: #bugsky #photography #macro 📸 🪲 🕷️

Of all the hundreds of successful 🪶 Osprey hunts I've witnessed, conflicts between individuals are rare. Not sure this was a conflict, or an opportunist noticing that the first bird had a tenuous grasp on its prey, either way it was impressive aerobatics from both #Osprey #TN #TVA #Nickajack 📸

If you didn't know, it's #Heron time. This 🪶 Yellow-crowned Night Heron wasn't going to let my presence bother its intense crawfishing session 📸 #ATX #Texas

I've been enthralled with the 🪶 Scissor Tailed Flycatcher for years, but I only ever seemed to find them on power lines or flitting away in the distance. Last weekend, I was able to spend some real quality time with this fella, and he was GORGEOUS 📸 #Texas #ATX #flycatcher

I caught up with migrating Sandhill Cranes in the northern Texas Hill Country, unfortunately atmospheric effects were intense to say the least, but these are still cool photos with the wind turbines in the background 📸📷🪶 #Photography #Birds #SandhilleCrane #migration #Texas

I've been trying to make it out to Big Bend National Park for a few years, finally made it happen a few weeks ago. It's hard to overstate just how remote and wild this corner of the country is. 📷 #Texas #BigBend #NPS #Photography

These 🪶 White Throated Swifts weren't especially close and certainly started around like they were allergic to the camera, but I couldn't have asked for a better location to hang out with them on the bank of the Rio Grande in Big Bend National Park #Texas #BigBend #RioGrande 📷

🪶 See a duck, post a duck. Doesn't. Have to be the same duck. #birds 📷 #photography (Wary but Sleepy Ring-necked)

If you want to get some wildlife closeups, the park outside of a children's museum is pretty hard to beat, these were the most desensitized waterfowl I've ever observed. It gave me a great opportunity to catch this incredibly beautiful detail of a 🪶 Double Crested Cormorant eye 📸 #Texas #Cormorant

There's always one kid who's not ready for their nap 🪶 #Birds #birdsky 📸 #Texas #SPI #PadreIsland

A river delicately snaking in the Icelandic Highlands, fed by the last snow melting… That little spot light really caught my eye so I had to capture it. Captured from a bush plane. #bluesky #photography #scapes #landscape #aerial #art #nature

So many of these cuties on the backroads of Central Texas which I have spent quite a bit of time on the last few weeks #birds #kestrel  📸🪶

Happy holidays to you and yours! We had a bit of an eventful Christmas morning down on the Gulf Coast of Texas 📸⚡

Mid-size-city-shopping-mall-late-stage-capitalism is such a wild ride I'm at the puzzle store I'm at the puzzle store and frame shop I'm at the puzzle store, frame shop, and kite boarding outfitter

Get outside and send some gratitude to the moon 😍

Me: Of course I have friends! My friend:

I've been on 3 flights to attempt to capture what I saw out the window of my flight that evening, to no avail, but finally, the fourth attempt paid off with weather, aerosols and timing working in my favor. 5/5

Over the millions of years since, erosion from water and glacial scour wore away the softer top layers, leaving behind these densified ridges that survive today. 4/n

My curiosity about these features led me on a fascinating journey of geological learning. These features, as old as the Appalachian chain itself, are subduction zones, pushed down and compressed by the same forces that thrust the Appalachian mountains out of the earth. 3/n

About 8 years ago I was flying into or out of Chattanooga near sunset and noticed this network of ridges across the valley floor, as if someone had dragged a rake along the Tennessee river leaving zen garden-esque lines in its wake. 2/n

Finally got a selection of photos from my recent trip to Oregon uploaded to my site, really excited about the infrared work in here: www.perfectedperspectives.com/Travel/Orego... 📷📸 #Nature #Oregon #Coast #Art #Pacific #PNW

There's really something to this barefoot grounding, two things everyone has in common with the universe, the duck shit on the bottom of each of your feet

Some Infrared Magic a little closer to home, golden hour at Chickamauga Battlefield was incredible Sunday 📷📸 #Nature #Infrared #Chattanooga

34°C today makes it hard to remember being chilly on the coast of Oregon last weekend, luckily I have a few photos to remind me of less sweltering times 📷📸 #Nature #Photography #Infrared #IR #Oregon #PNW

One of my favorite spots in Oregon is this overlook with a perfect view down Neahkahnie Beach 📷📸 #Nature #Landscape #photography #Oregon

I see 🪶 Double Crested Cormorants all the time, but normally put fishing far away from their nests, and without the stunning, rugged backdrop of the Northern Oregon Coast, here this individual carries nesting material back to keep things shipshape 📷📸 #Nature #Wildlife #Oregon #PNW

New lifer yesterday! The Tufted Puffin was looking fabulous! 🪶📷📸 #Nature #Wildlife #Travel #Oregon

Another great moment from my time on the Oregon Coast last week 📷📸 #Nature #Art #Landscape #photography

I'm normally chasing fidelity when chasing the #MilkyWay finding dark skies, elevation to escape aerosols and ever-more-pain-in-the-ass tracking systems to maintain color, but this dreamy landscape rendered by the Sea Fog at Sisters Rock really captivated me #Milkyway 📸 🔭 #astro #photography #art
