Before the drink hit and I was seeing two moons. 😂 Here’s a pic from Christmas night. #moon #photography #EastCoastKin
A sharply detailed waxing crescent moon hangs against a deep black night sky, its bright curved edge revealing crisp craters and textured lunar surface while the shadowed portion fades softly into darkness.

A Canada Goose and goslings from April.

📷🪶🐥
Both parents were shepherding a total of seven goslings down at the wildlife refuge back in April. They were totally attentive and on the lookout for any signs of trouble for their brood. Fluffy little goosebumps in yellow and brown.

I don’t know who sets these #BirdOfTheDay themes but they are geniuses and I’m told very handsome. 🤥😂 #QuietObservers #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A white little egret stands motionless in shallow, dark blue water, its slender neck and black bill lit by warm sunlight. The bird’s reflection is clearly mirrored on the calm surface, with soft, blurred reeds in the foreground adding depth to the scene.

House Sparrows live here year round and they often nest in our yard. They are wonderful parents and are constantly hunting bugs to feed their babies. This female paused a moment while looking for bugs in the flowering apple tree!

They are one of the tiny little birds that stay with us year round. In the winter they are especially busy, constantly foraging and talking.
This red-breasted nuthatch has just plucked a small nut from a spruce cone and will either eat or stash it for later.

Kelso Dunes in Mohave National Preserve at sunset in April of this year. Hoping to do more hiking there next year and snap some Milky Way stuff. Pretty awesome place though and I recommend stopping by if you are in the area! #Sunset #Photography
