My wife says she prefers this one because it "breaks away" from what I typically capture.

Well hello 😍

🔱 Matt Ufford 🔱 @mattufford.bsky.social · Aug 9

my new spirit animal is the lone burrowing owl living in a hole by decommissioned railroad tracks in an industrial Long Beach parking lot 🪶

a burrowing peers above a railroad track from a defilade position. only the beak, yellow eyes, furrowed white brow, and top of the brown-and-white head are visible.

the same owl as the previous picture, but taken from a different angle so more of its brown and white body is visible. it is tucked between a railroad track and a steel plate

I make my living in large part by photographing piles of sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. I love it.

Whilst out walking the hills yesterday, I spotted a flock of juvenile Long Tailed Tits. I counted fourteen in total as they moved from tree to tree, great to watch them all in flight #birds #thegardenjungle #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #shropshire #UKwildlife #birdphotography

Hands Off! was the biggest day of civic protest in years.

We want next Saturday to be even bigger — with more people in more places driving even more defiance of Trump’s fascist agenda on No Kings Day.
