A pair of mallards just after take off! The drake or upper duck is quacking! I think he's telling his wife she needs to move a little faster? 🙏🧙‍♂️🤓🪶

Hi! I’m Heidi. A full time landscape painter out of Seattle, WA.

I hike, snowboard, sea kayak, and am addicted to playing ice hockey.

I paint the places I love so dearly in the Pacific Northwest and launch a 6+ collection ~every month. Welcome and thanks for being here!

Happy Monday! My name is Stephanie Moon and I’m a full time artist from Colorado! This painting is one of my favorites, inspired by the jaw dropping scenery in Crested Butte. What’s your favorite place in Colorado??

That’s the plan, folks…👇

You know it’s true, right?!

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

52 years ago, Roe v. Wade secured the reproductive rights women fought for. In 2022, Dobbs overturned it & 22 states restricted our freedoms.

2 days ago, Trump took down reproductiverights.gov. But @reprocaucus.bsky.social will continue to share abortion resources. Your body, your choice!

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

A Tui a nectar feeder is at work in a flax bush. The bird grips the stem ready to plunge the long beak into a flower. The bird normally appears predominantly black with a white wattle. In this image shot from behind the bird across the light reveals the blues and greens in the wing feathers and body. A collar of long hair li,e feathers adorns the neck . The background is very softly focused shades of green and yellow foliage

Protecting our precious ʻUaʻu 🪶 (endangered Hawaiian Petrel) and Nēnē 🦆 (threatened Hawaiian Goose) takes teamwork and care! 💚 An HPPA donation to HVNP will support a biological science technician 🚁🚗 to assist NPS with everything they need to give these amazing birds a brighter future. 🌱✨

Cactus Wren on cholla, facing left.

Arizona’s state bird, the Cactus Wren 🪶🌵

A vibrant bird perched gracefully on a weathered branch, its glossy black body contrasting beautifully with its bright yellow chest. Its oversized beak, a stunning palette of lime green, fiery orange, and electric blue, creates an eye-catching display of nature’s artistry. The bird’s strikingly colorful presence is enhanced by the subtle backdrop of soft green foliage, creating a harmonious balance between its bold features and the tranquil forest setting. A moment of vivid beauty captured in perfect detail.
