Have you ever taken a photo that you were so excited to see if it turned out that you just left?

This is, unquestionably, unequivocally the best unedited image I have ever taken. 100% unmanipulated. No filters, no edits—just pure, incredible timing.

A striking close-up of a Great Blue Heron, its sharp yellow eye gazing intently to the right. The heron's long, vibrant orange beak extends gracefully, contrasting with the soft, intricate layers of gray and white feathers covering its body. Delicate black plumes extend from the back of its head, adding to its regal appearance. The background is a mesmerizing blur of circular bokeh, created by light filtering through branches and reflecting off the water, giving the scene a dreamy, almost magical atmosphere. The heron stands still, exuding an air of quiet confidence and elegance. This is an unedited, raw capture, showcasing the bird’s natural beauty in stunning detail.

Mockingbird mode: activated.

Probably just memorized your ringtone and is judging your taste.

A Northern Mockingbird stands alert on a sunlit pine branch, its gray plumage and white underparts contrasting softly with the dappled green forest background. The bird’s posture is upright and watchful, its long tail slightly raised as it scans the area, framed by fine pine needles and textured bark.

Slowly getting back to sharing my recent favorites.

Pretty sure this is an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail on a Pickerelweed—but botany/insecty folks, please correct me!

I just thought it was a pretty shot and it made me happy 😆

A vivid Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly perches delicately on a blooming spike of violet-blue Pickerelweed flowers. The butterfly's creamy yellow wings are streaked with bold black stripes, while its hindwings showcase striking blue and orange spots near the tips. Lush green leaves blur in the background, creating a vibrant contrast that highlights the pollinator's delicate balance on the aquatic bloom.

Ospreys always look like they flew straight out of a Renaissance painting and into a war council.

Caught this one mid-survey of its kingdom. Thought your fish were safe? Think again…

An osprey perched high in a tree, partially obscured by leaves and branches. Its sharp yellow eyes are fixed in an intense gaze, and its black-and-white plumage contrasts against the bright blue sky. Sunlight highlights the texture of its feathers and the lichen-covered branch beneath its talons.

I'm thinking I'll stick with birds, cats, and dogs -- and just stay away from everything else ☺️

Took a couple months off social media to work on my mental health.

Now I just have a backlog of bird photos.

Nothing says says 4th of July like a bald eagle hunting while the world burns around it.

Anyway, here’s a cool photo.

Be kind out there.

A bald eagle in mid-flight skimming over a rippling body of water with its talons extended, moments before striking the surface to catch prey. The eagle’s wings are fully outstretched, showing intricate feather details, with its white head and tail contrasting against the dark brown body.
