A beautiful sunset last year that I thought would be the start of a great winter season.
Turned out to be a warm one with little snow pack after all.

A serene landscape photograph captures snow-covered trees and their reflections in the still water of Lake Ballinger, creating a peaceful and monochromatic scene.

Winter's quiet beauty at Lake Ballinger. The snow-dusted trees and their reflections are magical. ❄️ You can barely note the eagle in the very top of the tall tree on the left.

It's #BlueskyMonday. This beautiful and elegantly shaped old snag lays just off shore on a local beach in North Florida. Perfect for #longexposure image making. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #Nikon #Z8 #sunrise

A wide stream of rippled water cuts across a golden sand beach, flowing out to sea, on the side of of small bay, cut between rocky headlands. In the foreground black sediment forms intricate, sweeping patterns.

More coastal magic from #Lewis last November: on the north west coast, the small, but perfectly formed beach inlet of Bagh Dhail Beag. Sediment from a freshwater stream leaves behind stunning patterns at low tide.

The T46Bs are still here, currently making their way down Possession Sound. T419s are likely around too somewhere.

The neck feathers are iridescent and only present the visible violet color when they catch the sun at a specific angle. The iridescence does not stem from pigment but rather nanometer size features in the structure of the feathers. Nature's nanotechnology!

A vertical photograph taken from a low-angle perspective shows a winding dirt and gravel track disappearing into a dense, fog-shrouded mature forest. The foreground is composed of blurred, wet dark earth and a thick blanket of reddish-brown fallen leaves covering the forest floor. Tall, dark, and straight tree trunks rise vertically, creating a repetitive pattern that dissolves into the heavy, cool-toned mist, which obscures the distance. A few withered, yellow leaves cling to branches on the tree on the right. The light is soft, diffuse, and cool.

If it makes sense to you and hurts no one else, it doesn't have to make sense to anyone else.

Small catfish surfacing in the Brazilian Pantanal. We were the only ones who cared... everyone else was staring at a snoozing jaguar.

Those completely random moments with "Subheader Species" often help fill my wildlife experiences & turn a good trip into a great one.

Last year we approached 5-6 boats puttering near a sleeping jaguar in Brazil. BORING! But hundreds of tiny catfish, randomly burbling on the surface nearby? Awesome!

The valley, shrouded in mist, leads from a tiny cove up to the distant village of Kilkhampton - where you can just see the church tower rising above the mist. The valley contains remains of Iron Age settlements, an Iron Age fort, a Roman fort, and on the beach, WWII tank defences. In the 17th-19th Century the valley was a major smuggling route with just a narrow path leading from the village to the cove.

Photo by Kort Duce An osprey catches a fish at Sandpiper Pond in St. Vrain State Park, Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the bird is backlit as it flies away with a trout clutched in its left talon. The fish, measuring roughly 12 to 18 inches, hangs beneath the osprey as it beats its wings. Water droplets scatter through the air, flung off as the bird shakes mid-flight to shed excess water. The background reveals the opposing shoreline, softly blurred in muted greens and earthy tones. An overcast morning sky glows with filtered sunlight, adding a subtle, luminous quality to the scene.
