Another #spooky #selfportrait for October from the shoot I did of myself a few years ago!

Taken by me on a Nikon D850, wanted to harness the vibes of an Appalachian cryptid.

Obligatory Harvest Moon from this morning

~but on last evening‘s walk, it was gorgeous & glowing, abundantly Autumnal, and felt like Fall

Not really the point of my photograph, but you’re not wrong. 😂😂 I prefer the company of animals and nature to most other humans any day of the week, you don’t gotta convince me!

Don't wander in the woods of Appalachia...
Happy spooky season! I took these self portraits a couple of years ago, but I still am really happy with them. 💀

Loved the colors in this shot. Remember to be kind to your local pollinators! We need them more than they need us. 💖

Be the thing in the woods that terrifies the townfolk.

It may be Fall but we're still celebrating pollinators around these parts! It truly was the year of butterfly photography for me - check this Eastern tiger swallowtail we spotted at a local park here in KY!

A red-spotted admiral butterfly at a local hiking spot, Raven Run, here in Kentucky - caught the sun gleaming on that blue iridescence of their wings!

Macro shot of the face of a Carolina Mantis!
They were indeed upside down at the time of the photo. 😂 Little alien!

~ Sunrise View ~

I'm still wondering if it's a common blue [Polyommatus icarus] or a Chapman's blue [Polyommatus thersites], but I'm tending to the first one.

A photo of (very likely )common blue butterfly - still roosting on a burnet in front of the rising sun. Through using a long macro lens and open aperture the sun appears as a big orange disc behind the butterfly. The tones in the photo range from violet to orange - on this hazy early morning.

I have such a backlog of aquarium photos, it's unreal.

This creature went in for his neuter this morning so hopefully we can nix that enlarged prostate in the bud and get him all back to normal. 💖 Hoping for a smooth procedure!

~ Meadow Brown ~

A Meadow brown [Maniola jurtina] in the very early morning. Those beauties are not rare, but it's rare to find them still roosting.

A photo of a Meadow brown [Maniola jurtina] in the very early morning. Only the butterfly is in focus, leaving the surrounding habitat as a bokeh lit by the early morning sun - and showing tones of green and yellow with some great pasque flowers standing out. The butterfly is still roosting on dried vegetation from last year.

Are there any follow packs for #photographers that I could get added to? Maybe for ones with smaller followings?

Also looking to follow more, I'd love to support my fellow photographers!
