Limonethe maurator (a species of Ichneumon Wasp)
Always so nice to photograph cool insects again after the dreary winter! I miss life in abundance during the cold months...

Ozark flora while hiking around with a friend last weekend. We were looking for early migrant birds and herps but the wildflowers and fungi took over our attention!

All the way back in June 2012, I photographed one of the most stunning birds I've ever seen - an adult male Harlequin Duck from Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 😍 I have yet to see one since.

Calypso Cascades in Wild Basin
Moraine Park
Bull Rocky Mountain Elk bugling during the fall rut
Calypso Orchids (Calypso bulbosa) aka Fairy Slippers. Rare and stunning wildflower
I grew up in #Colorado, and #RockyMountainNationalPark was my stomping grounds for nature photography. Some shots of mine from over the years!

A photo of a telephone pole, wires leading across and back. The tops of three pine trees can be seen in the bottom center 10% of the frame. A Japanese Maple takes up the bottom right corner. The photograph is mostly sky, largely filled with clouds. The sun is apparent behind the pine tree tops, setting. A few blocks of blue poke through the clouded sky.
If you zoom way way in on the first image, below an electrical wire crossing the sky, a large line formation of Canadian geese are flying by. Having lost the V-shape, the line is a loose arc, a rounded check mark.
What you hear you can't see unless you look hard.

An hour well spent.

“Trust you know how to do this.”
Poignant words for these strange times, as Chloe calls them.
As always, I recommend listening to her read aloud.

This is only the shell of a Cicada. It was still holding or stuck on one of my trees in the backyard. I kept it😉😗😁

Birds are not my thing but sometimes I like the lines and shapes (which probably explains my obsession with high contrast photos). #birds #thenaturalworld #thecolorandtheshape
