Due to my beliefs I am not responding to any DMs—per the hadith: ‘No man is alone with a woman but the Shaytan is the third one present.’ (Tirmidhi 2165) Let’s keep interactions public and respectful.

Don't drag my camera bag, okay?
My daughter tried to imitate me by picking up my camera bag. It was far too heavy for her to lift, but she didn’t give up. Instead, she began dragging it along the ground with all her might.

The ocean in Okinawa was breathtaking - crystal-clear and endless, much like the waters of Hawaii.

It's occurred to me that I've forgotten about my #FridayFinch series the last few weeks (it's been crazy hectic lately). So here's a #FridayFinch on a Sunday. (American Goldfinch)

Hanwell, #NewBrunswick, Canada

📷 #birds #AMGO #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon #Z9 #Nikkor800pf

A gorgeous bright yellow songbird with black and white wings and a black cap on its head (male American Goldfinch) is perched on a bare tree branch, facing to the left and looking at the camera. His beak is open as he sings his beautiful song.
