Ohh, to be a fat happy seal on the beach enjoying life at my own pace... 😂

📷 Photo captures a solo female Northern Elephant Seal (Mirounga angustirostris) basking in the hazy sunlight on a central Californian beach. The remainder of the rookery was clustered a few hundred yards up the beach. A handful of very large adult males flipped dry sand onto their backs while about a dozen very active juveniles were in the surf, doing what juvenile creatures do best: playing, fighting, yelling, splashing — basically running amuck. It’s no wonder this little lady chose to inchworm her way beyond the masses for some good ol’ fashioned “me-time”. Friends of the Elephant Seal, San Simeon, CA; Sept 2017. 🌊🐘

One of the last opportunities for me this year to get out for an astro shoot. This time with an enthusiastic bunch from Greymouth Photography Club and pretty much perfect conditions :)

📷 Photo captures a rainbow palette of Texas springtime wildflowers, with a bright red Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja coccinea) at the front and center. There’s no denying the fact that Bluebonnets get most of the attention, and rightfully so, but I think these fluorescent Paintbrushes may be my personal favorite. (Subject to change, because I’m terrible at making firm decisions #LibraProblems)

Half Dome from Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park during sunset. Removed from the park but worth the drive. Shot with Canon 5D mark 3
With temperatures dancing around the freeze mark & light fog lifting at the sun's warm touch, this secluded hilltop pond was the perfect place to catch the first light of day -- the perfect place to stand in awe of Mother Nature's extravagant Autumn display. To witness this gorgeous show up here in the northeastern corner of the U.S., is truly a special experience! | Macedonia Brook State Park, CT

2016|| Leave nothing but footprints. Take nothing but pictures. Kill nothing but time.|| I wish quotes weren’t so lame, but my goodness is it relevant. These moroccan landscapes are timeless and stunning.

From last week, mid-deep-freeze in Central Texas. I took a few mini-adventures around the yard while we passed the time in between huddling around a tiny propane heater and waiting for power to come back on. Clearly, ice-glazed things became my muse, forcing me to slow down and take in all of the small details of the freeze, and leaving me with beautiful souvenirs of what was otherwise a terrible experience. Nothing like Mother Nature to keep you humble about basic necessities. All’s well that ends well. 😅❄️

Still dwelling on Texas' many rounds of springtime blooms... it was difficult to keep count as the palette seemed to constantly change. As if the preceding Bluebonnet bloom wasn't enough of a show, the final discharge of Firewheels set the Texas landscape aflame, sure to leave spectators in awe! 🔥

Photo captures a crowded field of Firewheel flowers (Gaillardia pulchella) dancing in the warm sunlight of a May afternoon. All the same, but all unique. Some taller, some shorter. Some in bloom, some expired, and some have yet to begin. Individual differences, collective beauty. 💫
