Good morning. ⏰🫘☕

29 July 2025

We walked yesterday morning, but the sun and heat were brutal—for both me and Charlie—so we kept it to just a couple of miles. I do think walking helps my energy levels, though it’s a bit like charging a bad battery: it works, but the charge doesn’t last long. There’s a mountain of things I need to do, most of which end up on my “do tomorrow” list. Naps, though—I handle those with precision and urgency.

This morning, I went out to feed the birds with Charlie’s help. It’s always a blast when I rinse and refill the birdbath. I set the hose nozzle to jet, and Charlie chases the stream back and forth like it’s his personal mission—pure joy. That’s enough for now. I’m grabbing my camera and heading outside.

The Grackles are ready for hot weather. They are growing new feathers and do the "show boat", puffing up to keep cool. And in between snacking, they go and take refreshing baths at the pond. All the while looking magnificent. Oh, to be a Grack... #birds #photography

Flame Among the Leaves

This Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula) has a slender strand of fiber clinging to the tip of his beak, along with faint specks of debris scattered across his black head. The fiber might be from the orange I set out for them—a small trace of his recent visit.

#PhotoOfTheDay is of the Land Cruiser passing beneath a fallen tree that's taking its time in reaching the ground... Photo up near the Rubicon Trail in Northern California, kinda close to Lake Tahoe.

Poised Above the Deep

Here’s a brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) I spotted at Savannah Beach on Tybee Island. I shared another image a few days ago—my goal was to capture them mid-dive. Judging by the activity, there must’ve been a school of fish just offshore. I was hoping to catch one right before it hit the water, but that moment slipped past me.

My photo gallery features over 1300 carefully selected images. While most are chosen for their visual appeal, a few stand out as novelty shots. Feel free to explore my gallery at:

On return to our holiday accommodation yesterday evening we were greeted by a pair of Water Buffalo 😂

The accommodation was on a farm in the wilderness of the Brecon Beacons in Wales

Carolina Saddlebags in the Sun

This is a Carolina Saddlebags dragonfly (Tramea carolina). When I first shared the image a few years ago, I began with the words “I think.” Since then, I’ve received plenty of confirmations identifying the species.

Hummingbird Among Pink Blossoms

It felt like a moment worth capturing. This morning, as Charlie and I sat outside, a tiny ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) darted among the crepe myrtle blossoms—its movements quick and deliberate, like a living spark weaving through pink petals.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.
