Early morning light, a Snowy Egret Fluff, posed and poised so beautifully who could pass up such an opportunity, life is good.

Have a great day and thank you as always for stopping by, always so very much appreciated.

Dandelions are the scourge of a lawn, but one cannot help but appreciate their beauty once they go to seed.

I will miss the White Wagtail all Autumn and Winter. It was the friendliest bird of all; I could easily name it the easiest bird to photograph (excluding Sparrows or Ravens).

I found this feather and tried to capture the softness, but the lightest breath made it sway...

San Diego, California 2012

Our stop for lunch at La Gordina was amazing! They had feeders all along the windows and the hummingbirds put on quite a show.

phosphor bronze, dandelion clocks, LEDs, PCBs.

LED bulbs give off virtually no heat. Studio Drift used this property to combine

technology and nature poetically. Real dandelion clocks are fastened as filters

on the LED bulbs. A normal bulb would immediately scorch the fluff.

Here it produces a delicate play of light.

just kickin it with a 7 week old timberwolf/malamute, no bigz

One morning as the photo assist dog and I were out for our walk, this hummingbird flew in front of us, around us and all around a tree. It seemed to be showing off the bit of fluff in her beak. I thought nesting season was mostly over here in the Bay area, but maybe she was lining a nest.

She's within the overhang of a tree, thus the muted greens in back. This was the only shot that came out that morning, as she kept moving in random directions, and the photo assist dog was doing her best to try to trip me up!

A little fluff (an eider duckling) fell out of moms wings that were tucked around all her small babies.

Auntie eider came to rescue and stopped the small one from falling down from moms protective care.

Auntie eider stepped up and sat down behind mom, so she became a wall where the babies were all jammed in their mom - so cute to watch! ❤️
