[Young Harbour Seal pup, in its best Joey Tribbiani voice]: "How you doin'?"

Bay of Fundy, #NewBrunswick, Canada
September 2025

📸 #mammals #marinelife #seal #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon #Z9 #Nikkor800pf

A young (adolescent?) seal pup with short brownish-greyish fur is lying on its back on a rocky ledge covered with drak green and brown rockweed (seaweed). If the seal were a human, we would say that it is striking a sultry pose.

The cutest season is awwwtumn.

An autumn image. A cottage, boathouse and shed on a lakeshore reflecting on the water. Behind the buildings the land rises, the bulk of the trees are laden with orange leafs. In the foreground and framing the shot, more orange is out of focus from the tree just in front of the camera lens.

File Under: Just how FAST (yet quietly) can I get dogs back into the house, then SPRINT upstairs for camera and back down and across yard for this shot!

Fast enough! WHEW!

Oxeye daisy with extra rain

One of a few Oxeye daisies, yellow center with white petals, that are still in bloom along the walk today. Some of the rain that has been falling for days now has almost completely covered the daisy in droplets. It’s surrounded by green leaves

🪶 One of my favorite #Beakful shots of recent memory is this yellow-bellied elaenia with a moth in its beak, scattering scales like dust. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #photography

A bird is on a branch. It has a brown back, a yellow belly and a white throat. It has just caught a moth in its beak, and the sunlight is catching scales that have been shaken off the moth.

🪬🧿 Edinburgh autumn day

#edinburgh #scotland #autumn #cityscape #travel #architecture #balmoral #alttext

A bustling city street scene in Edinburgh, Scotland, featuring a variety of vehicles, including red and green double-decker tour buses, cars, and taxis, all navigating the road. The street is lined with trees adorned in the warm hues of autumn, their golden leaves adding a touch of seasonal color to the urban landscape. In the backdrop, the iconic Balmoral clock tower dominates the skyline, its intricate design and historic presence enhancing the architectural grandeur of the city. Additional landmarks are visible further down the street, contributing to the rich tapestry of Edinburgh's famous landmarks. The sky above is a bright blue hue.

Was hoping to see some eagles this morning, but while there weren't too many birds, there was some nice colors and clouds.

Looking across a pond on a cloudy fall morning towards some trees that have yellow and orange leaves. The trees are reflected in the water almost like a mirror.

Flying or swimming, Double-crested Cormorants sure are speedy #birds 🌿

Three large black birds with hooked yellow beaks and long necks are fly by right to left just about the surface of a lake. Just behind them are three more, swimming on the surface.
