Autumn's peak in the McCormick Wilderness Area, UP MI, USA.
LOVE this place!

HA...a literal LOL!!! It's easy to feel overwhelmed by these Gotham City villains and goons, but Trump's poll numbers are tanking and Trump doesn't have enough to offer young Americans in the military to turn on their own people. The SANE ones KNOW he doesn't care about them. Stay STRONG...RESIST!!!

Looks like this Black Bear is preparing well for winter. This practice of storing as many calories for hibernation is also called hyperphagia. Took this just north of Duluth, MN.

I knew I noticed a lot of Blue Jays the last few days along Superior's Shore near Duluth, MN, which is where Hawk Ridge is. Turns out they tallied over 8,000 Blue Jays on their amazing bird counts from 9/17/25 This is my first and only painting of this species "Blue and Gold", acrylic, 8x8

MAGA...martyrdom!

John McFaul Wildlife Artist/Photographer @wildartmi.bsky.social · Sep 12

I just found out that's MAGA for martyrdom. Red Hats and bigotry for ETERNITY!!!

They have a reactionary, emotional mob eager to do their bidding with absolutely no need for any fact-based evidence to be put into action.

Of course. Most people would be embarrassed if their eight year old child was so incapable of accepting personal responsibility for anything and always accusing and blaming others.

Thank you.

What's his "Horst Wessel"?

Always the most predictable and lowest denominator with Trump.

Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism'

We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman

Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans

This is one of my best landscape photos from last year. As my favorite season begins it will be fun to see if I can top this one this year.
This is the October image for the 2025 John McFaul Northwoods Landscapes Calendar, taken in the Sylvania Wilderness Area, UP, MI.

Currently, the sparse population of Upper Peninsula bull moose travel far and wide in search of cows to mate with. Offering the best seasonal odds of seeing a moose in the UP or the Northwoods of WI. Here's my interpretation of that scenario "Diamond in the Rough - Moose", acrylic, 16x20, SOLD.

After 15 years I suppose it's time to put a current photo up in the "About the Artist" section of my professional website. From my kayak where I get the most paddles in, the Gile Flowage, WI, USA.

Was hoping to see some of the coyotes that frequent a meadow where the deer graze in the evenings. No coyotes this time, but definitely appreciated this buck still in summer's velvet and orange coat.
Took this in Miner's Heritage Park, UP MI, USA.

It's much bigger than that!

I AGREE!!! The school shooting in Mpls was tragic like all of them have been. But NOW is NOT the time to disarm!

John McFaul Wildlife Artist/Photographer @wildartmi.bsky.social · Aug 28

AGREED!!!
