Sometimes to truly discover France, you need to stop watching her. You need to close your eyes and listen, breathe, feel. She whispers. Let’s begin the journey. Welcome France. Welcome Home.

Find meaning in the small miracles of everyday life. 🪷 "What matters is the power of joy that bursts through the glass of our eyes. One single apparition — and everything is saved." Some words from France, by Bobin.

Ce qui compte, c'est la puissance de la joie qui éclate à la vitre de nos yeux. Une apparition, une seule, et tout est sauvé.

L'homme joie

My last #WinterRobin and I won’t post another till the season rolls round again. Taken yesterday. Have a wonderful day wherever you are in the world. 🌍 Please excuse the romanticised Irish alt 😁 #birds #Stunday #photography #EastCoastKin
A small European robin pauses on a bed of emerald moss, its flame-bright breast glowing like a hearth ember in the hush of an Irish wood. Pale winter light softens the greens and browns around it, while scattered nuts lie like humble offerings on the forest floor. Still and watchful, the robin stands as a quiet keeper of the land, carrying the gentle soul of Ireland in its gaze.

A Red-tailed Hawk in the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge. I don't think he was abiding by the "pheasant hunting only" rule.

It's the Steller's jay again. #BirdOfTheDay #PerfectPerch

📷🌿🪶
A photo of a Steller's jay (Cyanocitta stelleri) perched on a gray lichen-covered tree branch against a blurred background of yellow and orange autumn foliage. The bird has a black crested head, dark eyes, a black beak, and vibrant blue plumage on its wings, back, and tail, and is facing to the left and framed by more branches and twigs.

A red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) circling over Albuquerque's South Valley on January 16, 2026.

#nature #naturephotography #birds
A hawk floats with wings extended, in a uniform turquoise sky. The primaries at the tips of the wings are splayed. The photo shows the underside of this bird; it's a light phase red-tail so the dominant color is white. There's some brown barring, not very pronounced, on the flight and tail feathers. At this angle versus the sun, there's no red showing through the tail. There's a band of dark brown spots across the belly, and more brown spots and splotches of brown on the underwing coverts. The head is dark brown but the chin is fairly light. One eye and the beak are visible, but they don't stand out.
