Mao and the Sparrows @maoandthesparrows.bsky.social · 1d

A woodland path, partially obscured by fallen leaves, cuts softly through an autumn forest. The sun, low and visible through the trees, spotlights the seasonal oranges and golds.

Going with a great egret (of course) for #BirdOfTheDay #wings. I'm shocked I haven't run out of photos to share from this trip yet😂

The Vale of Rheidol Railway today. It's always been my dream to get some smokey light ray shots like this...I was limited regarding composition options, but I'd say it's still pretty magical!

"Maybe it's true that the self is every artist's first obsession, that every other subject--a plate of oranges, a mountain, a lover's face--is just a recognition of the self in another form." - Zeyn Joukhadar, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘕𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵

I almost missed #FlyDay! This #pelican came in for a landing on the old pilings in the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. I locked on early and held the shutter down. #photography #birds #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin #birdsinflight

So regal. So beautiful and specialized. An evolutionary marvel. #Pelicans seem so large and heavy and yet they glide seemingly effortlessly through the air. They have a surprisingly large wingspan. Perhaps that's the nature of their grace. #photography #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #EastCoastKin
