The first and only poppy in the Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve was spotted. It's early but I'd say the density will be lower this year.

Number 2 on my top 10 images of 2025. It just resonates deeply In that moment it was just me and the badger it saw me when it came out of its den but it lay there back turned to me showing trust and I’m not sure we humans always deserve the trust of wildlife anymore #badger ##wildlifephotography

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

I named it "going home"

Tiny, colorful baby scallops — a total cuteness overload in one dish!

You might think, “This person posts the same creature every year!” But honestly, seeing the same life return year after year is something truly wonderful𓂃🫧‪
