A very apt scene for the weather in Ireland right now; a dew covered cobweb glistening in the sun on a cold morning in the forest.

Here's one for #FlyDay and #Birds 🪶, and a Snowy Egret and its reflection. Might also be good light too, but I'd probably describe it as nice light. Another from the first outing with the OM-3.

At Cottontail Acres: This adult Cooper's hawk turned up three days ago and it seems like every time I go outside it's in the tree in our front yard. These were all shot from our front door, today (overcast) and yesterday (sunny).

The colorful Green-winged Teal. It’s a smaller duck with an unusual high pitched call. #birds #nature 🪶

Aristolochia fruits are a marvel. Some, like A. dictyophlebia, are berry-like (the former Pararistolochia), but many are wonderful baskets, like this A. ringens, from which the flat seeds sift into the wind. #Aristolochiaceae #TropicalBotany #dispersal #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Happy New Year, everyone. First photo of the new year. I got out my big camera again, which always blows me away with the detail in the pictures. Have a wonderful day, everyone.

A limestone rock riddled with burrows made by Wrinkled Rock-borers (Hiatella arctica). Bivalves that dig out burrows in which they spend their lives.
This stone has been cast up on the shoreline by winter storms - giving us a chance to see these creatures, normally only found below the low tideline

Maybe if we play lots of David Bowie and Prince we can trick the new year into being awesome

Mom lady here. The first sunrise of 2026. Here's hoping that it is kinder to us all than 2025 was. Happy New Year, my friends.

Hey friends, I have a full day ahead on Tuesday, so I'm posting my favorite photo, day 30 right now. I call this a "Deconstructed Smore", largely due to the colors of the Eastern Kingbird who is perched upon a Marsh Mallow flower. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin 🪶🦉📷
