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.

A picture through trees in the forest of a small structure made of sticks off of a hiking trail. The season is fall with lots of warm tones and yellow leaves. A moss covered log sticking out of leaves and dead grass. A small creek with leaves floating on the water and trees in the background and in the reflection on the water. A reflection of trees in the water of a small creek covered in leaves during the fall but flipped so it looks like you are looking at the forest.

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.

The poem "The Goose and the Common" made into a digital painting in the style of an illuminated manuscript by Charles Cloninger. The poem sits in the center of the page surrounded by illustrations of geese, flowers, berries, and other various plants and ornate shapes.

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

Black-and-white photograph of intertwined leaves and slender stems against a softly blurred, luminous background. The foreground shows sharply defined five-pointed leaves, while the background fades into circular light patterns and gentle tones of gray.

Hummingbirds.

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

Two hummingbirds. The one of the left is sitting on a branch with its wings open and the one on the right has just flown off the branch, caught in mid flight, its wings a blur.

Tree roots covered in moss above a milky brown creek. A dragonfly hovering above the water with some ripples on the surface. Some plants are growing up in and around the water. Small white mushrooms/fungus growing up from a fallen tree in detail. In focus in the front, out of focus in the back. A tree in the forest surrounded by other trees and greenery, moss covers the ground.

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.

A small dock reaches out partially over swampy wetlands in Agusta GA. The sky is a faint bluish gray with the large amount of foliage a vibrant bright pink.
