Just adding a splash of color to the feed with this crowded field of wildflowers... 🌈
I am (im)patiently waiting for scenes like this to be the norm again. I’ve seen a few bluebonnets starting to pop around town these past few days, so it seems the wait may be reallyyy close to being over! 💐

I captured this image a few seasons ago during an afternoon visit to the farm fields in the Texas Hill Country. From the moment we stepped foot onto the farm property, we encountered a variety of butterflies. Monarchs, Queens, Fritillaries, and multiple species of swallowtails — including the beautiful one in this picture, a Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor) — to name a few. This zinnia flower field was particularly bustling with all kinds of pollinator activity. It was amazing to observe. But the flashes of bright metallic blue on the underwings and abdomens of these swallowtails were especially mesmerizing. I patiently waited for one of these blue beauties to sweep down to a red zinnia and after a few chances I was able to successfully capture an image with some rich primary color harmony just as I had envisioned. ❤️💙

When the very last light of day hits a rain shower over the mountains, fiercely magical things happen! Nature, in all her infinite artistry, paints a splendid picture right before your eyes -- and all you can do is hope to be ready; hope to do it justice; hope to remember to pick your jaw up off of the ground because you can't believe this is happening & it looks oh-so-crazy gorgeous & HIT THE DARN SHUTTER BUTTON! :) I am forever intrigued by and learning from Nature, and I feel gratefully whole capturing some of her most stunning moments! | Apex, NV
Not the most ideal lighting, but I couldn’t NOT photograph this big guy! 🐂 Spotted while on an overcast afternoon drive around the Texas Hill Country. Captured from the side of the road, with a fence between myself & this beautiful beast (because, trespassing & personal safety & all that jazz...) It sure felt pretty awesome to finally get the chance to have a close-ish peek at a Longhorn, especially considering their legendary symbolism in Texan culture. ⭐️

Happy first day of Spring and Vernal Equinox, y’all! 🌱

They say motivation, like bathing, doesn’t last — so, we need to repeat it often. I like to believe we can lift each other; that the ripple effect of motivation can be felt beyond our realization. Maybe you can help demonstrate that here. It’s your turn! GO! 👉

📷 Image captures a magnificent morning sky over the Gulf of Mexico. The sun danced in and out from behind the clouds, glittering the shoreline as the waves gently kissed the sand. 🌊 This is not my current view (although I sure do wish it was!), but experiencing and capturing views like this long serve as motivation for me to trudge onward through this adventure called “life.” 💫
