Rust has a way of attracting me, photographically. Maybe it is the color. Maybe it is the deterioration.
The same Snowy Egret from before, but now with more speed.
Sometimes I prefer my titles to be exacting. In this case, I truly can’t confirm the Mallard is really watching the Snowy Egret take off. But it is in the Continue Reading →
I’ll have some nesting pictures later in the week because these Brandt’s Cormorants in La Jolla, California nest RIGHT next to a sidewalk on a bluff. But for now, enjoy Continue Reading →
Trash interests me. I’m odd that way. A drone’s eye view of the Calabasas Landfill shows their technique of laying down a bunch of strips of plastic and then just Continue Reading →
The LA Central Library has a LOT to explore. Not just books, but a lot of art as well, including the ceilings.
Coming up with titles is sometimes hard. My brain’s not awake right now. Sorry. From the lovely fields north of Santa Barbara toward Solvang in California.
More from San Fernando, before the shops opened.
I’m sure there is a story around Black-crowned Night Heron are called Night Herons. I’ve only ever seen one at night but the rest are plentiful during the day. A Continue Reading →
I don’t make it out to San Fernando that often. Earlier this week was honestly my first time actually wandering around the town itself. I was amazed to find that Continue Reading →
Sometimes down where all the slurry and trash of life gets flushed, new ideas/life spring forth.
More from the backstreets of Encino and Tarzana in Los Angeles.
While waiting for my car to be cleaned I took a walk down some trashy allies and along a fence separating the freeway from strip malls. You never know what Continue Reading →
Sometimes you go to the human-made pond in the human-made park and are curious about the birds, thinking you’re not going to find a lot. It’s not like National Geographic Continue Reading →
Hanging out at LAX, watching the flights come in.
A non-typical gloomy day in Malibu this week gave me the opportunity to work with Elegant Terns and a bit of motion blur.
Sometimes the drive-by scenes that pop up at a stop light are the ones that interest me most. Spring is here in LA but these trees have not received the Continue Reading →
Yesterday was a transition day out at the Malibu Lagoon. When I got there drizzle coated my camera and had left the parking lot and beach deserted. Except the couple Continue Reading →
I went birding at Malibu Lagoon today and these Elegant Terns were so dang loud and active. Kinda cute, kinda. ð
A very artful bird with distinct coloring.
Classic classicness. I love this view and the whole Yosemite Valley.
Yes, all the martial arts I have ever learned comes from Bruce Lee and Kung Fu Panda films. This then, is an egret in a crane pose.
Some birds love belting out the hits.
High up on the Nose of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, there’s nothing but granite.
Taken at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve while this fella was trying to stay away from nearby egrets.
One of the best uses of drones, I feel, is a solid panorama of what the world looks like from up there. When no hills exists, grab a drone.
Winter will soon be losing its grip on Yosemite National Park. But back in January, when the crowds are far away and we didn’t yet have cuts to Park staff Continue Reading →
This female Nuttall’s Woodpecker has some serious talons helping to jump all around the tree limb and hide from me. A little patience and 25 images later, finally captured an Continue Reading →
Without this lucky photo of a curlew in flight, I never would’ve known the beautiful pattern they have on their wing feathers.
