Starting a new tattoo project today that is expected to go into December. I will probably slow down a bit on new wildlife photos during that healing process, but my backlog of stuff I need to edit is immense so there will still be stuff to post.

Frost advisory tonight. Had to pick my cinderella pumpkin early, but I think she'll ripen up just fine.

I pulled up 3.5 lbs of wild maitake from my backyard. Anyone have tips for preserving this? #maitake #mushroom #foraging

Happy spooky season, friends! 💀🧛‍♂️🧟‍♂️🎃👻 One of the best times of the year.

Bluesky really likes pictures of dogs apparently.

I don't suppose it's possible to change the compression settings for images uploaded to bsky? When I have a slight focus miss on an image it becomes very exaggerated after upload.

Caught this Great Egret taking off. #egret #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

There is still love in this world. You can be angry about whats happening around you, and you'd be justified in doing so. But there are still good people doing good things. You are loved by friends, family, and strangers. I believe it's important to reflect on that from time to time.

I'm so mentally exhausted...

Happy Labor Day from Sadie and I!

Got the opportunity to photograph some hunting Ospreys. These are very pretty birds! #osprey #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

I worked on this one way too long. A Great Egret surfacing empty handed (billed?) after a dive. #egret #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

The Bluesky #photography community is genuinely so nice and supportive. Thank you all for being so cool, and I can't wait to see what you shoot next!

Great Egret out doing some fishing! #egret #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

I'm not sure why they do this, but caught this Double-Crested Cormorant holding its wings apart like this. It was sitting like this for a long while. #cormorant #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

A cute little American Goldfinch surveying the area from atop a thistle. #finch #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

My next read. Jack picked me up a copy from his bookstore. I can't believe I haven't read this one yet.

Snapping Turtle hanging out next to the trail. This little one was happy to sit back and watch the people walking by. #turtle #reptiles #herps #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

#Photography friends, I am looking at getting set up with a platform to sell my work. SmugMug seems to be the defacto pick for many people, and I'm playing with the free trial right now. Do you have other platforms to recommend that I could check out?

A lovely Blue Jay perched on a utility wire. #jay #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

I don't really know what to make of this one. It's an Egret flying in front of a bright sky. Heavy post-processing made this cool ethereal effect. #egret #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

Sadie has the dorkiest smile and we all love it. #corgicrew

Here are some Great Egrets hoping you have a Great Day today! #egret #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

Another Green Heron photo picked out of a previous shoot. #heron #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

Kind of bummed the Pacific Crest Trail account is blocking me. What did I do?

This cozy looking photo of some Mallard Ducklings is one of my favorites from recent shoots. #duck #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

A few more of that Barn Swallow. #swallow #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

I love these weird little guys. A collection of Green Heron photos. A Canada Goose guest stars in one. #heron #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

A very distinguished Barn Swallow takes a rest on a twig. #swallow #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

Look at this handsome chap. #oriole #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

Found this little Tree Swallow perched next to some cottonwood fuzz. #swallow #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

A few Great Egret shots from yesterday. #egret #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

A pretty Barn Swallow perched on a guide rope in the park. #swallow #birds #birdsky #wildlife #photography #nikon #minnesota

My home state is the epicenter of a horrible politically motivated attack that resulted in the assassination of two people, including a state lawmaker, and the injury/hospitalization of two others. This is fucked. My heart goes out to the loved ones of the victims today.

tell me your pet's name in a gif

Happy Pride!!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🤍🩵🖤🤎

All pooped out after puppy school. #corgicrew

We had a visit from Mama Wood Duck and her many babies in the backyard yesterday! #birds #woodduck #ducklings #wildlife #photography
