Love photography! All photos my own. No AI. Scrapper, more than technophile. US based global generalist & street photographer. People, animals, culture, travel and other stuff. Happy to learn from others and to share. Queen of all typos.

Hi I'm Laura, a US-based traveler and photographer. This is me at home, gathering greens for my animals (pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and peafowl. A graphic designer by trade, I've been traveling since the early 80s and post images from all over the world and throughout the decades.

Male Green Iguana (breeding coloring)
So pretty!
Muelle, Costa Rica

I love these guys with their beaded armor + fancy colors. This one was mellow. There's a restaurant in Muelle which started feeding them, now there are hundreds. #herps #iguana #photography #wildlifephotography #reptiles #lizards

White-throated Magpie Jay
(Cyanocorax formosus)
Ometepe, Nicaragua

I stalked this bird for a good length of time, failed, gave up and went for a cup of coffee. When I got up to leave this bird was sitting on the table behind me! Sheesh!

This one looks like it went to the bear version of Black Bear Glamour Shots, too! :)

The male looks more reigned in, with dark eyes, shorter head feathers and that magnificent yellow bulbous addition.

African Crowned Eagle
(Stephanoaetus coronatus)

Native to sub-Saharan Africa, this powerful raptor is built like a tank with talons strong enough to crush bone—and it's taken down monkeys, antelope... and yes, even humans in rare cases.

I've raised a couple of dozen of them, so I'd vote yes :)

Hi Ellen, Yep I'll keep up on BluSky, I'm also on Instagram + FaceBook (longer form). Try to stop me from posting images & telling stories, lol.

2 weeks ago I was panicked about finding help for pigs, dogs and house, somehow the universe aligns. Everything is coming together. It takes a community!

Peacock
Sylmar, California

These beauties moved here ~2010, and stayed. In 2 weeks I'm moving. I'm not sure how long I'll be gone, so I've rehomed my animals to rent out my house. I don't know if they'll be here when I return. It has been an absolute privilege having them here. #photography #birds

Andean Cock of the Rock
Fince Palmonte, Ecuador

One of my favorite 'weird looking' birds. Love these cheeky bastards. Total privilege to have them visit the tree outside my bathroom, after chasing them around the forest the day before and being pretty disappointed by the results #birds #photography
