Here is a Western Striped Whipsnake that I found in southcentral Idaho this past weekend while looking for horned lizards. This was shot with the Nikon Z 14-30mm F4 lens on the Z7. At 14mm there is some perspective distortion and the corners aren't as sharp as I would hope but I am still pleased with it overall. This image was imported with lightroom, exported to Topaz Noise AI to minimize noise and then imported into Luminar 4 for some quick edits to make the image pop.
This image was taken at the City Museum in Saint Louis. This place is a concrete and wire wonderland. Clearly the guy behind the design was a mad-man, but we get to reap the benefits of his design. The museum is inside an abandoned shoe factory in fact, there is a shop just to the left of the image where they make and sell shoelaces. We got a pair. The place is an endless opportunity for interesting images. The hardest partis getting one with no one in the frame.
Here's to knowing yourself a little bit better and loving yourself a little bit more. Here's to you!
Shot in RAW then developed and process in Snapseed. Noontime photo walk to check out my new RAW capacity with iPhone 6s Plus. Like what I see so far.
Here in North America for sure, the skill of cursive handwriting is disappearing. My generation learned cursive handwriting with either dip pens and ink, or cartridge/fountain pens. The inexpensive ballpoint would come soon after my time. My children never learned to use a fountain pen and even gave up cursive, occasionally printing but instead using technology. I am not even sure if their children will learn to write cursive.
These are just some of my writing pens that I have used over the years. I left my Parker out of the photo only because it is filled with ink, while these are not. One issue that strkes Parker 75 owners, on occasion, is that the nib grip will start leaking and need to be replaced. Unfortunately, mine has started it again for the third time in 35+ years of use. With the pen long discontinued, getting even a used grip section is difficult.
I just thought to share this photo before I put them all away again. Happy Valentine's Day to me for my love of the writing pen. :)
Taken at home, in Moncton, NB, Canada on 14 February 2021.

I was a bit surprised to see this Sedge Warbler at the fen, normally they have left by now to return to Africa.
It is quite yellow so is probably a youngster.
Here's an abandoned house on Pereau Road, about a half mile above Mill Creek and about a half mile below Hiltz Brook. The house is gone now, with only a barn remaining... just off the left side of the photo. I've taken pics here on a number of occasions, beginning around 1980 and was disappointed to find on later trips that it had been torn down. This photo was taken in late December of 1984 less than an hour before sunset. Photos taken during the summer at mid-day were OK, but I REALLY LIKE the low angle light seen here.
I was traveling with several cameras, a Nikon F3HP, a Wollensak Stereo 10 3d camera, and my favorite... a small (6x9cm) century Graphic, which I used for this image. I liked working with the Graphic, enjoyed focusing on its ground glass screen... working with an upside-down and reversed image. Focusing wide open then stopping down, attaching the film back, then shooting was a slow process. One thing that was a pain during the summer was the chance of having a black fly or mosquito get inside the camera while swapping out the ground glass back for the roll holder. It has happened several times over the years, but only at times of incredibly severe levels of bug activity.
This image was taken with my old 6x9 cm Century Graphic. The lens was a 105mm f/3.7 Ektar in a Kodak Flash Supermatic shutter, using a Graflex Singer 120 roll film holder loaded with Ektachrome 100 film. It was copied digitally using a Nikon D3500 camera, a 55mm Micro-Nikkor lens, with a Nikon 4T close-up lens, and a Sigma 1.6x close-up lens mounted on the 4T.

Here's another image from canyon Þakgil from summer of 2017. Her the camping site can be seen at the bottom of the valley. I will admit the hike up there wasn't long but not an easy one. Safe if you're careful. I was there with my family in 2017 and will visit later on my own where I can hike a bit more. Lot's of super dramatic scenery there. :)
Osprey

Just taking off to go back to the nest at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Galloway, NJ.
Here's another view of Chicago’s skyline, this time from atop the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower. While I had hoped for clear conditions, I felt the approaching storms yielded a cool and ominous look to the image. Shot handheld and through less-than-clean glass, this isn’t as clear as I’d like, but still a sight to behold if you ever have the chance!

It was a joy to photograph farm visitor Katie today. Behind her is the info kiosk, where I've mounted photos of the farm's animals, with their names listed.
Living here in the City has been an incredible experience. I've seen so many amazing things, eaten at so many different restaurants, driven up so many hills, checked out so many views... and seen a few stunning sunsets. A redo of this vantage point had been on my list for quite some time, and when I saw this long-burning sunset building up while the Giants were playing over in Kansas City in the World Series, I knew the time to capture this shot had come. Just a little traffic in the city on the way... ehh, nothing compared to LA. Note all the orange in the skyline: Coit Tower, Transamerica, Embarcadero buildings, etc... seems like more every year.
Then the Giants came back to town over the weekend and I bused it over to AT&T Park to stand outside the fence and watch. It was a total circus. Game 6 is tonight and the city will go orange and wild again!
Thoughts, suggestions, etc are welcome, as always! This is a single exposure at 35mm, slightly cropped.

Kicking up clouds of dust, CECX (Cummins Inc.) Tier-4 "Clean Diesel" Demonstrator #1919 accelerates quickly out of Jasonville, Indiana with an INRD train for interchange with CSX at Terre Haute. Yes, it sounds a little like a bus, albeit a bigger, more powerful one. The locomotive runs with the QSK-95, Cummins' 16-cylinder 4400-hp prime mover.
