Been a while since I've been to the ponds. Felt like coming home. And what a better way to start a new year than capturing duck butt, geese, mergansers, and a cormorant feeding on a catfish!

I’m writing a longer piece about this but right now it keeps hitting me that I was formally diagnosed with autism this week.

I had the exquisite joy of having an experience that has been on my #SecretBucketList since I was a kid. I never thought it would become a reality.
After letting my facial hair grow out for three months, I had a true barbershop shave this afternoon. (1/4)
