Dismantle the oligarchy and the patriarchy.
I'm still just a small town girl who loves wildlife photography and hates the patriarchy.
Unless otherwise noted, all photos posted are my own.

I'm in a hummingbird state of mind. Here is one from a mid September trip to a flower farm. I went to take photos of dahlias, but I ended up looking at #birds

Wow, have I been busy the past few months. Took a lot of photos, saw a lot of the country. I'm going to cross the country again this month. So excited to see California!
Ruby throated hummingbird from earlier this summer. 💜
Do I even remember how to post #Birds ?

So much travel this summer. I got out of my daily #Birds posting, and then I haven't really had much time to get back in.
Today I'm restarting birds because I'm too angry and sad to look at any other social media.
Female Scarlet Tanager. I couldn't find her mate, but she's lovely.

I'm still here, reading when I have time, but I've been from St Louis to Tucumcari to Colorado to Pennsylvania in a pretty short period of time. So much beautiful scenery! Everyone should see all the mountains.

St. Robert, Missouri has a recently completed neon park that is worth the stop on Route 66.

Super lucky. I pulled over to photograph this mural, and then I saw this guy getting ready to turn the corner. Perfect timing.

Such a great motel on Route 66. Desert Hills Motel in Tulsa. See further photos later.

Today, I am hitting the Mother Road for a little while, then going to the mountains. When I get home, I'm going to head east.
A couple of years ago, I went to both coasts in June. I won't get quite that far this time, but still some good fun.
Look forward to plenty of roadside oddities. #Route66

My last Iowa bird for a while:
I haven't posted this one yet because I wasn't really sure about my ID. If anyone wants to chime in, feel free.
When I first photographed, I thought this was a bank swallow. Merlin identified it as a tree swallow.

Parts of a whole. Probably because I'm working on a project right now using parts of photos to make a whole picture, I've got mosaics and stained glass on my mind.

I think this display from the House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin qualifies as #WackyWednesdayArt

Yesterday was super hot, but I wanted to check out a newer birding place. I didn't have much luck, so my best share is this mourning dove who wasn't the least bit shy.

Stun day is tough for me, because I've seen so many stunning photos. Since I tasked myself to come up with a #Birds daily, I try not to post birds on other themes. This one spoke to me today.
It's a Pied Billed Grebe swimming in the reflection of a covered bridge.
