Connecting the past & future

Rebuilt adobe building at Puye Cliff Dwellings in NM. Our guide said students from the pueblo rebuilt this to learn the old building techniques.

A dramatic black and white photo of an old-style adobe building with wooden beams coming out. It has a second story with a window. The sky is black and the beams on the right side are casting shadows on the building.

My #BirdOfTheDay #FavouriteOfTheMonth has to be the gorgeous Bearded Reedlings seen in Hampshire recently... they really are delightful birds! 🤍 📷 🪶

Happy Friday everyone. Wishing you all a good weekend and a new month ahead! 🕊️

A photograph of a female Bearded Reedling ( Panurus biarmicus) that is feeding in a reed bed. She has her head facing forward, bending over as she balances on top of the reed she has selected. She looks down at the silky, fine hairs attached to the base of the tiny seeds, as if she is selecting which one to pull into her beak. The early morning light is illuminating her right side as viewed. The background is blurry mostly buff coloured from the reed stems behind her.

I'm not sure why this lupus medication ad has a giant border collie in it that becomes normal size when she takes the medication, but I truly wouldn't mind having a giant Falkor-sized border collie.

Sunday is the time for the #Stunday art challenge. I took this shot coming back from a hike in Hellmobotn, Norway. I was feeling pretty small inside this fjord.

It's #waterfallwednesday. This is Moccasin Falls on Moccasin Creek in Rabun County Georgia. It was a trek by myself through the woods with no trail. I'll never forget it. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #longexposure #rivers #creeks #infrared #fullspectrum #bnw #blackandwhitephotography

A black and white photo of an adorable tabby kitten on her back rolling around in toilet paper. One paw is blurred as she reaches toward the camera. Her belly has the most perfect speckles you've ever seen.

Her plumage is mostly bronze-green iridescent and dark shades on her back and head with turquoise feathers showing below her eye running down her neck. Her chest is lighter with metallic green to one side and greyish mottled feathers in the centre. She has a distinctive white spot behind her eye and a long dark narrow bill. The background is blurred in a light green tone. Taken in Costa Rica 2023

Breathe out.
Imagine you are sitting on this beautiful beach at sunset.
Ah, feel better, just a little?
You needed that.
