Dragging myself out of bed for the Blood #moon lunar eclipse and freezing my extremities off in my jammies at 3am was totally worth it. Five stars. Highly recommend 🥶🥱 #LunarEclipse #BloodMoon #NightSky

Mega views. Morning sun just beginning to warm the valley. Big landscape energy. #HikingLife #RidgeWalk

Early morning search for some local wildlife yeilded this red‑tailed hawk in a bare winter tree. Cool February light, rain on the way. #wildlifephotography #birds

This fam of bobcats is the most unbothered I’ve ever seen. 🐆🐆🐆 Strolling through the neighborhood in broad daylight, no fucks given. Love that for them. 😻 #cats #kittens #wildlife

Procrastinated my way into the abyss this morning. Didn’t want to get out of 🛌 so I generated this instead. 🐳 Sperm whales dive over 3,000 meters & hold their breath for an hour—hunting under 4,400 PSI. If people like these #AnimalFacts I’ll keep them coming. #NatureLovers #MarineBiology #DigitalArt

This white-tailed kite was out ruling the sky today 👑🦅 Small mammals, look upon him and despair #birds #wildlifephotography

If you didn’t get your campfire fix this weekend, have a seat by mine. 🪵🔥 #CampfireVibes #RelaxingLoops

Good news! The whales are here 🐋 Humpbacks feeding off the coast of California this week #wildlife #naturephotography

Where earth cracked open and beauty poured out. My summer short—Volcanic Legacy. 🌋🎬 An #EpicEscape on the Scenic Byway. #nationalpark #nature

Stunning. Get back in the damn car, tho. #sky #storm #photography

This skunk eats dinner like me, LASER FOCUSED and stay out of my way 🤩 #photography #outdoor #animals

BLOOMING #nature #photography

Here you go, have 10 seconds of peace & quiet. You deserve it, goddamnit. #naturephotography #landscape

This earthworm is unstoppable. He is going to BE somebody🫡 #nature

There sure were a lot of overly-specific signs to not inner-tube down the icy waterfall 1,000ft off a cliff to certain doom 🛝 A lot, guys. This is why we can’t have nice things. #photography #nature

This huge wingspan on Condor #91 is a bit intimidating 🦅😅 She's one of North America's rarest and largest birds. How are my weak ankles supposed to compete with this? #photography #birds #girlpower

When I walk by this waterfall it's normally just a trickle into a sad puddle. Today it is goddamn majestic. ⛲ It's not here for a long time, but it's here for a good time. Me too, guys, me too. #photography #nature #transformation

Just a turkey vulture, looking good and not apologizing for it.🪶 #birds

Want to be able to sleep tonight? Well that's too bad. Look at this #bird 's feet, and prepare for the #nightmares. #naturephotography

I had a brief moment to admire this spider's web while it was away this morning. Then I got out of there real quick, because spiders?... hell no 😤 #naturephotography #naturelovers #landscape #outdoors

Spent a fascinating moment watching this great egret hunt today. Glad he's not out here stalking humans though... he was *way* to stealthy, probably would have got me 😅 #birds #wildlife #naturephotography

Witnessed the #OccultationOfMars Monday night. Watching the Red Planet slide behind the full Wolf #moon was the highlight of my week 🔭 youtu.be/Uk19GEoS9tw

If you had to put on pants and go back to work today this western grey squirrel is so, so sorry. #wildlife #animals #nature

This kestrel is savage and adorable AF. I want to be him when I grow up. #birds #wildlife #animals

So… do guys like hummingbirds? #birds #animals #wildlife

I don’t know whose cat I photographed, but look at him leap! #cats #animals

If I were smart I’d never have crawled out of this cave and back to my desk. #nature #landscape

Too misty for raptor hunting, but still a beautiful morning. How about we all just relax for a moment? #birds #nature

This Canada Jay wants you to know how good he looks today. He is not sorry. #birds

I waited patiently for this Autumn Meadowhawk dragonfly to land. The males are a striking cherry red. I’ve never seen one before. #bugsky #napa 🐛

Finally. #birds

Saturday night skies #moonphotography #nightsky #napa

That was some moon we had last night you guys. #moonphotography #astrophotography #nightsky

Good luck to this Peregrine Falcon getting ready for a Saturday morning hunt. #birds #wildlife

Surprised to discover this Sierran Treefrog making its summer home in my second floor balcony planter. It’s 95° out there, stay cool little dude! Drinks are on me. 🐸 💧 #frogs #herps #wildlife

Well shit, my mom just rescued this baby sparrow from her savage cats. Quick, experts, what do we do?? #birds

This Western Fence Lizard was kind enough to hold still while I captured his portrait.

The absolutely enormous sunspot that just appeared today! The size of this thing is mind blowing

Happy World Donkey Day to all who celebrate. 🫏🫏🫏

I chased totality: one of the most awesome sights I’ve ever seen. The Great North American Eclipse of 2024!
