Turtles Amok! The local colony like to gather under a bridge over the #HanamigawaRiver. It seems that they were having a party, feeding frenzy, or something else (mating season?). #turtles #reptiles #japanwildlife #iPhone14pro #ChibaPrefecture #RuralJapan

Japanese rice farmers do not mess around with their #scarecrows I nearly crashed my bike when I saw about 20 of these decapitated mannequins stuck on fence posts. #ricepaddy #farminginjapan #japancountryside #creepy #shotoniPhone #iPhone14pro

#TurtlePower I’m naming this old one Mossback. I discovered this group of #turtles that hang out under a bridge by my local river. At any given time this summer, I can see 8 to 15 of them just swimming around in aquatic bliss. This one must be the King/Queen of the Colony.

One of my first portrait shots from 6 years ago. Alice, a young Russian woman living in #Yokohama at the time. I lost touch with her after she moved back to Siberia. #portrait #redhead #blueeyes #photography #olympuscameras #snapseed

#TurtlePower! I found this guy on his way to the #HanamigawaRiver on my bike ride home from work. Thankfully, I saw him before I turned him into a speed bump. He was a little shy, but eventually came out of his shell a little. #turtle #chibajapan #iphone14pro #halideapp #luminarneo

🕷️ 🕷️ 🕷️ I’m kinda proud of this one. No tripod, handheld, manual focus. I was about 10 - 15 feet away from this guy, slightly windy, so this guy was bobbing up & down in his web. 400mm f6.3 #OM1 #zuiko100400 #spider #arachnid #handheld #topazphoto #luminarneo

I don’t usually play with sky replacements when I’m photo editing, but I accidentally hit the button & I kinda like it. The 2nd one is more of what I actually intended. 📷 #photography #iphone14pro #luminarneo #makuharijapan #galaxyexpress #trainstation #chibasunset

My #sunset 3 week ago. #KhaoLak #Thailand #AndamanSea #IndianOcean #JWMarriottKhaoLak if you remember seeing some of the first footage of the 2004 tsunami, it was filmed here. 20 years later and it seems to an outsider observer to have a full recovery #OM1

I found this guy at the bird sanctuary next to my work. I know it’s a #heron of some sort, but i didn’t know what type. Apple Photos identifies it as a #blackcrownednightheron any info would be appreciated #birds #tokyowildlife #birdsinjapan #OM1

I was in #Thailand 5 years ago, before the world shut down. I took this during a visit to an #elephantrescue center (sorry I can’t remember the name of the place) and took this close-up shot of the Matriarch of the herd. #animaleyes #eye #pachyderm #khaolak

Here in Tokyo, some park employees sweep up the fallen cherry blossoms and dump them into clear trash bags. Here’s a close up view of a 72 liter (20 gallon) bag. #sakura #sakuraseason #cherryblossom #tokyointhespring

This gang of #greyheron punks are terrorizing the area lately. They just perch, preen & squawk. Every so often, they’ll dive bomb some of my students 😆😆Their Mohawks just blowing in the wind. Geeze, get a haircut, get a job. #birds #tokyowildlife #OMSolutions #OM1
