A monarch butterfly on a pink zinnia

I’m out in the garden collecting seeds before this storm rolls in. The temperature is supposed to drop this week, but as of today I’m still seeing monarchs here in New York. #bugsky #bloomscrolling #gardening #butterfly #zinnia #catskills

Tyrian metaltail flying through orange flowers

Having a patient who is Colombian really motivates me to go back to some of my photos from my March trip!

Hummingbirds in Colombia not only have iridescent gorgets. They also have iridescent tails 🤯

Gonna need an extra hint. 🤔

Nice pic!

🤣🤣 but you're in neon and skintight neoprene, right?

Bal au Moulin Rouge, Place Blanche, poster by Jules Chéret, 1889 Portrait poster of women riding horses holding flowers.

136 years ago, on the 6th of October 1889, the Jardin de Paris, now known as the Moulin Rouge, opened at the foot of Montmartre. The intention was to attract rich customers to the fashionable yet poor district. The Moulin Rouge is known, among other things, for the Can-can. #history #otd 🗃️

Five black birds perch closely together on a branch, their glossy feathers and long tails standing out against a blurred green forest background.

Groove-billed Anis are fabulous birds. A type of cuckoo, this species lives in social groups of up to 10 birds and they collectively guard their territory and even share a nest together!

These birds were taking a break today at @tapirvalley.bsky.social to groom each other.

💚

💚 Thank you!!

A brown praying mantis clings to the body of a black Panasonic camera, its front legs raised near the control dial.

Everybody thinks they're a photography expert now. I put my camera down for a minute and this mantis has to go and change my settings on me.

Collage of close-up photos showing honeybees feeding on clusters of vivid pink-red Sedum flowers. The images capture the bees’ golden, fuzzy bodies among the star-shaped blossoms, with softly blurred backgrounds in pink and green tones.

Macro portrait of a Black throated gray warbler looking down at you from above

Bird photography can be an illusion and some award winning shots published are of birds being baited into coming closer

So when I’m able to nail a photo of a bird from an incredibly close distance, it makes me all the more happy my patience and time birding paid off

A glossy black common raven with shaggy throat feathers perches on a weathered gray metal railing at Hawk Hill, gazing out toward the iconic blurred Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge's International Orange tower and suspension cables emerge from the misty conditions, while Alcatraz Island sits in the bay waters between the viewpoint and the bridge. The Marin Headlands' golden-brown hills roll into the distance, and dark green evergreen shrubs frame the lower right corner of the composition

Ran into this raven (?) at Hawk Hill a week ago. Pretty sure they own the place. Perfect fog with the bridge and Alcatraz in view. 🌉

Two large white orchid flowers, a slight brush of pale pink and bright yellow in center of flowers

Sunday calm. I love the petals' crystalline sparkle in sunlight. Miltoniopsis Rene Komoda.

For this week's #ColorADay #GreenSat, here's a pair of White Fronted Bee Eaters from #Zambia. Taken along the #LufupuRiver. Their green wings contrast nicely with other colors on their bodies. #PhotographersOfBlueSky #photography #birds #BirdPhotography #NaturePhotography #Africa

One or two days per moon cycle I get a chance to improve on my moonfisher photography!

Here’s my latest attempt! She stayed on an awkward shaped perched and I was blocked from getting in position by bush

Ideally I wanted to put the moon lower and out further allowing her to “dive” into it

Rolling green hills with a dirt trail winding through golden grasslands toward a cluster of oak trees on the hilltop, under dramatic blue sky with billowing white clouds in the East Bay Tri-Valley area during spring.

The waters of Red Eagle lake lay still in the early morning at Glacier National Park in Montana. A copse of dark green trees stands about 200 meters away, and tall mountains with a little ice and snow are seen in the background. The nearest mountain looks yellow and brown, while the farthest one looks gray and blue.

I'm a simple man. I see a reflection and I click.
