Thrilled to capture this Indigo Bunting taking flight Saturday at McKee-Beshers. Love the wing extension. So graceful!

An Indigo Bunting with the sunflowers this morning at McKee-Beshers. I returned in hopes of capturing better Indigo Bunting photos. Persistence paid off!

This framed view of London's Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), Houses of Parliament and Westminster Bridge is great day or night. I captured it on vacation last year over the holidays.

Thanks Luna!

It is!

Thanks Brad! I was at ground level, but I agree that the tight crop makes it look like I was in an elevated location. The sign is over 100’ up from the water.

Full Moon rising over the ancient Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion - Greece. This moonrise alignment was on my photography bucket list, and I was fortunate to capture it in August, 2023. Forecast is cloudy tonight in DC. #thephotohour #templeofposeidon #sounion #fullmoon

Evening blue hour behind the US Capitol. First time I've setup for the U.S. Capitol Compass Star shot. Glad to finally take this.

Blackwater Falls last Saturday in Blackwater Falls State Park, West Virginia

Thanks Adam! Hope to get back there some time in fall (when there is less water flowing) for some tranquil waterfall shots.

@photohour.bsky.social thanks for the repost!

My bad - It's Elakala Falls in Blackwater Falls State Park. I was working on a photo of the actual Blackwater Falls before this one and didn't switch the name.

Blackwater Falls last Saturday in monochrome. Kinda like today's weather!

It's another great West Virginia site to photograph.

Yesterday morning's peak bloom cherry blossoms in still air at 5:37am. They're stunning in the dark as well! Loved the reflection.
