I was so excited when I photographed this beautiful female kingfisher (aka Queenfisher 😄) that I posted a shot before I had time to properly edit it.
.
Loved this image so much I ordered it as a print—and it just arrived today!!

Last night, I was out walking Ringo (our kinda harness-trained cat) when I looked up and saw how insanely clear the sky was—even with all the light pollution. I texted my wife to come outside and check it out, and for a minute, we just stood there taking it in.
Life’s a roller coaster, and a short one at that.
One of my favorite quotes: We’re here for a good time, not a long time.
I almost didn’t post this… but moments like that are meant to be shared.
If it speaks to you, show it some love. 🌌✨

There was a lot of cool birds today out at lake casitas, however none of them wanted to be photographed and hid behind the bushes and leaves. But this Western Bluebird posed for a full shoot 😁.

I finally captured my 1st Common Yellowthroat!!
.
I struggled with this one, since they are always jumping around in the thickness of trees and bushes.

Touching up on my milkyway editing, forgot how much time and trial and error this is ha ha.

This was from October 2022.
