The Great Horned Owl. It's been living outside my house for the last week. #birdoftheday #birdsinmygarden #birdphotography #EastCoastKin #owl

Landing gear is important. Especially when landing. #avgeek #navion #aviation #whoops #airportops

Watched a storm roll through this morning. Lots of lightning for the PNW. Love being on the airfield when a storm rolls through. The wide open space just gives an amazing 360 view. #pnw #lightning #stormhour

Smoke in the great PNW. #avgeek #EastCoastKin #smoke #nightscape

Watched lightning over that hill in the background for an hour before this and part of me really hoped it would strike as I was exposing this photo. Too bad. I've never been able to get a takeoff and lightning in the same frame. One day. #avgeeks #EastCoastKin #aviation #sunrise #stormhour

The sunrise is finally getting late enough to snap some light trails. #avgeeks #EastCoastKin #aviation #nightscape

This is how runway lights are checked and calibrated. See alt text for details. You may not realize the work it takes to keep an airport operating safely. #aviation #avgeeks #airportops

"Airport 6, Tower, can you exit the 27 RSA for landing traffic?" "Affirm" "Boxcar clear to land on Runway 27, taxi to A2 and exit to the ramp via Alpha." Just airport ops stuff. #aviation #avgeeks #chinook

Colchuck Lake. Enchantments. Washington. First time to this lake. Beautiful place. I've been in the Enchantments many times but have yet to win the lottery for an overnight up there. #pnw #EastCoastKin #enchantments #mountains

People don't really understand the immensity of Mt Rainier. This is the same photograph. One is a crop showing two climbers. I sat up there for almost an hour before anyone passed me. That's a benefit of arriving at 5 AM. It's quite serene. #pnw #rainier #tahoma #mountain #eastcoastkin

Pike's Market. Up there! #streetphotography #fujifilmseries-x

What with all the widely reported ways drones are being put to use these days, for this particular moment we choose to focus on this application by @abcbirds.bsky.social. We feel the effort to save the Hawaiian honeycreepers 🪶 is a little more uplifting and hope you do, too. | 🛩️ 📡 ⚡️ 🚁 📹 📰 🥇

Pike St Market. Seattle I love walking around and people watching. Looking for candid shots. See alt text for my thoughts. #seattle #photography #fuji #candid #streetphotography #pikeplacemarket

Currently listening to Valerie June - Owls, Omens, and Oracles. Great album. Just love the opening song so much. #avgeeks #aviation #EastCoastKin #fujifilm-seriesx #sunrise

Mother's Love Opened the window shades and watched deer TV in the yard. This mother had two fawns and they would eat and play right outside our backdoor over the weekend. #wildlife #deer #motherslove #photography #EastCoastKin

Spotted Towhee Haven't seen one in years. Great to see a few this weekend. #birdersofbluesky #birding #birds #birdsky #featheredfriends #birdwatching #pnw

Someone tried to tell me that squirrel photography was the pinnacle of wildlife photography. 😂 To be fair they are fun. Stevenson, Washington #squirrel #jaws #adhd #mentalhealth #photography #fuji

Having a dynamic subject can be extremely challenging. Framing takes lots of trial and error, patience, and something like a gust of wind can completely alter your photo (for better or worse). Pilatus PC-12 landing. #medevac #lighttrail #aviation #avgeeks #nightscape

For the fellow film nerds out there. Picked up a Minolta kit with all the trimmings and found this roll of Kodak Tmax 100. Expired 1991. Think it will still work? I can slip it into the freezer. 😆 #film #kodak #tmax

The mornings have been magical. The departure is an hour later for a month and sky trails are impossible at the moment. Been experimenting with ND filters but nothing working yet. Not giving up though. #Alaska #QX #aviation #avgeeks

Swoon ❤️ What a beautiful aircraft. The owner parked and then hitched a ride to town. I'm hoping I get to see it leave. Vans RV-7 #aviation #avgeeks #planespotting

Vibrant pinks fade into purple. Watching the sunrise this morning was the best part of my work week. Perfect Friday morning. Oh and the pilot called out the wrong Airport on CTAF. Always hilarious. 😂 10 stop ND filter. #avgeeks #QX #Alaska #Horizon #EastCoastKin #fujifilm #astia

Helios 44-2 58mm. This lens is known for its personality. #blossoms #helios #fujifilm-seriesx #EastCoastKin #photohour

Spring bee. I sat under my tree and watched the bees for a while. It's peaceful. I need that peace wherever I can find it. #spring #bee #EastCoastKin #photography #fujifilm-seriesx #photohour #stormhour #blossom

The oldest 172 I've ever seen in person. Built in 1956. The 1956 version of the 172 came out of the factory with a price tag of $8,295. Isn't that crazy? #avgeeks #aviation #cessna #172

Lead in line A4. Currently listening to Patti Smith - Because the Night #avgeeks #aviation #qx #fujifilm-seriesx #EastCoastKin #photography

Planespotted a Ryan Navion today. Nice couple out of GEG brought their kid in for a pancake breakfast. Built in 1948. This one has a 490 engine from a Bonanza. He found it at a grass airstrip in Hood River. It had lived in a barn for some time before being brought back to life. #avgeeks

Good morning. Currently listening to Early with Eva Walker. #kexp #aviation #avgeeks #EastCoastKin #photography #longexposure #fujifilm-seriesx

Gulfstream G500. Off she goes. #gulfstream #avgeeks #aviation #photography #planespotting #fujifilm-seriesx

One of those mornings when you just can't pull it off. All within 15 minutes. Duds. 😆 #avgeeks #photography #aviation #reflection #

Watched this Hiller land just now. It was not all the way down. Asked the crew if they had whiplash from the slam. Student pilot. 😂 #avgeeks #aviation #helicopter #sunrise
