Travel, family, gardening, food security. Photos are mine except reposts. All my photos are #mobilephotography. Retired from molecular diagnostics science, not from life.
Happy that Fall weather has finally arrived here 🍁

For today's #BlueSkyArtShow, one of the topics is #FavoriteThings. I have to say that one of my fave things to photo are #puffins. These two #birds from the #WestmanIslands in #Iceland had so much character, and the group shot was fun! #BirdPhotography #photography

Once again I arrived at the ponds at the right time, accidentally. Supposedly it was foggy so I didn’t expect much. In reality no fog and a lovely sunrise.

#FeatheredFriday #birds #macaws Finally managed a non-blurry photo of macaws in the wild. A scarlet macaw which is very common in Costa Rica.
Blue & yellow macaw, not native to Costa Rica. Probably had once been a pet #travel
