I’m a writer and nature photographer in California. You know me as either winestainedlens or RBlackPhoto from the bird app.

Schumer is a disappointing clown when he's in the opposition party (and I use that term VERY loosely right now). Just baffled that they keep him in as senate dem leader.

Schiff has been incredibly unimpressive so far (and I say this as someone who was in his district and voted for him over and over for 20 years). Beyond disappointed.

I don't know how big/extensive your rig is, but a sling-style bag works great for that (Lowepro makes them, as do many other bag manufacturers).

If it's cold and gray where you are today, just remember that spring flowers will be back before you know it (sometimes I have to remind myself). #happymonday #flowers #yosemite #scape

A profusion of backlit dogwood blossoms in Yosemite valley.

I was BEYOND delighted last week to see networkers extraordinaire @jaycee-visionlogic.bsky.social & @jacgfxgeek.bsky.social already working hard on photog community-building. I'll be a little slow to catch up until I'm back from a photo conference this wknd, but I'm so glad to see old friends here.

I’m so excited to get out actively shooting again! It’s been way too long, and I can’t wait to run into some of you out in the wild places. 🥰 Needed a new bag before a trip later this week, and still partial to my fave Lowepro bags.

And a lot of racism. It’s grotesque.

I didn't honestly realize it at the time, but December was a good month for me photographically. It usually is if I insist on carving out the time.

Tightly framed image of aspen trunks and branches laced with snow. The image is predominantly white, making the branch patterns appear etched.

Frosty Forest… From my beloved French alps 🌲🏔️❄️

Frozen forest. The tree silhouettes reveals from deep winter fog. Tones are blue.

So happy to see so many great photographers here where the sky is blue. 😍 Here's my contribution to the Friday #scape theme: The Rostrum formation in Yosemite's Merced River Canyon.

This is a wonderful list (and really great timing for me since I finally am getting up and running here)!

Hi! Happy to see friendly faces here!

And this autocrat happens to be spectacularly stupid, as well; everything he's said about how California handles its water has been bafflingly weird and embarrassingly wrong.
