Since I am on an owl kick at the moment, found this picture I took a couple years ago in one of my luckiest birding outings ever.
A short-eared owl in the winter dusk.
How beautiful are these birds? Just striking.

Look at this little pretty one…
Saw this beautiful red-shouldered hawk perched in the parking lot of a Barnes & Noble.
I love being back to carrying my camera with me when I leave the house.
Hell, I love being back to leaving the house.
2026: more birds, more pictures, more life.

New Year, new me.
Technically, it’s more like ‘old me’… but being back to being that person feels pretty new.
Got out with the camera yest for the first time in ages. Nature came ‘round to welcome me back. Even this barred owl popped by to say hello.
Let’s GO, 2026. It’s gonna be a good year.

New York City Marathon today.
It has taken an entire year of not training, but today, I move another step closer to achieving my lifelong goal of never running a marathon.

Accurate. I don’t know who this Darren guy is but the guy has to learn how to order a proper cup of coffee. It was like drinking a cup of diabetes.
