A Dark-eyed Junco found the scattered seeds under a feeder and was happy. This coloring looks totally different from the ones I've seen before. 🪶

Take a minute to look in to nature, to really look & you'll discover how intensely beautiful our planet is & realize how much we miss as we hurry, hurry, hurry. Slow down, make room for a little magic. Nature will not disappoint, she never does #nature #FungiFriday #lichen #photography #environment

Yes, please!

Mute Swans on McLaughlin Bay in Darlington Provincial Park 🪶

Its head slightly cocked, a palm warbler stands atop some foliage and debris that have been completely encased in spider webs. #birds

Practicing good manners for Thanksgiving, but maybe the woodies decided not to share with their bluejay pal or are still practicing.

Photo of the day, taken from my driveway. 🌈

Peanut really knows how to chill! She’s got a very tiny blep going on with her tongue, too. 😹🐾 #BlackCats #Cats

Day 13 counting down my favorite images of 2025 #48 just up close and personal with a Junco stretching out last winter.

Current view looking north over Lake Erie. I don’t think I’m getting aurora tonight either😭 Face is getting sandblasted from the wind-driven sand, too.

Queen Boletes (Boletus regius) cooked into a porcini wagyu loco moco, I love eating mushrooms so much.

Just a reminder for everyone with fur babies…cats included

A Great Blue Heron preening its wing feathers #birds #heron

Our veterinary team recently performed a delicate eye surgery to remove a cataract from our filefish. Working with veterinary ophthalmologist Dr. Kice, our team successfully removed the cloudy lens, helping this fish see (and eat!) more easily again. The patient is now recovering behind the scenes.

Always look up now and then while hiking. Surprised by a little flock of migrating Tundra Swans! Two adults in front, followed by a bunch of juniors (look how grey the immatures are) #birds 🌿

This wishlist Wednesday we could really use cheerios! We are totally out! 😱 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

I got some more aurora borealis photos north of Boulder in some dark sky. What a night, so many people were out watching.

Slightly different view of a Common Starling. Check out the inside of the beak by zooming in - looks like something out of Alien!! #birds #birdphotography #birdsseenin2025 #Alicante #canonphotography
