A warm-toned hike

We went hiking recently and I wasn't seeing any birds so I swapped to my vintage Canon FD 50/1.4. I always love the dreamy look this lens brings to everything.

The Goose and the Common

I first heard this poem on an episode of the podcast Scene on Radio and it resonated with me. It seems just as relevant now as when it was written about the enclosures in England.

Summer Tanager

We had a tanager as a frequent visitor to our yard this summer. Always a joy to see that pop of red in the trees.

Love this shot of water droplets caught in the plumage of a Blackbird on a particularly dreich day here in south Wales. More such days to come this autumn I suspect. #birds #UKWildlife #photography #birdPhotography #birdsoftheworld #wildlifePhotography #birds #nature #wildlife

Awesome!
“I Saw the TV Glow” writer-director Jane Schoenbrun is doing a series at Netflix based on Charles Burns’ “Black Hole” comics (which also have a long on-off history with movie adaptations). Details here.

Just playing in the backyard again with my Nikon Zf, shooting at wide open aperture on a 135mm Viltrox f1.8, at 1/1000 sec., auto ISO.

Hummingbirds.

My favorite hummingbird capture from earlier this summer. They sat together for a while, taking a break from fighting over the feeder.

Old #photo from my time in Agusta GA walking through the #swamp trails. I had edited this before, but I was new to infrared and have come to hate how bad it looks now.

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!
