Night night sweet dreamies

Sometimes all you need is just for somebody to be there, even if they can’t solve your problems

Just knowing there is somebody there who cares can make all the difference

Be someone’s somebody 🐈

A cold start to yesterday morning and amazing to see a hoar frost on the back of this Tundra Bean Goose at Swinister, Shetland.

A short video of the Eurasian Bittern that graced Spiggie for a couple of days last week. With less than 30 records it remains a very rare bird here in Shetland.

A Bohemian Waxwing on a branch surrounded by red berries.  The bird is taupe with peach patches above the eyes and on the cheeks.  There is a black patch under the beak and a black band across the eyes. There is a dark peach patch under the tail.  The tips of the tail feathers are yellow.  The bird is looking toward the camera.  There is blue sky in the background.

A snowy owl sits as the sky transitions from night to day. The moon is barely visible over its head as the sky fills with color.

West 79th Street Boat Basin: Incredible view of ice floating along Hudson River on Valentine’s Day 2/14/2026. Timing wasn’t right so we didn’t see any Bald Eagles on the floating ice but the scene was truly amazing to see so I am happy I went there!#hudsonriverfloatingice #winterscenery #floatingice

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

When I came upon this wonderful grove of lenga and nire trees in Argentinian Patagonia, I could not pass up the opportunity. The dead branches and beautiful black trunks add an interesting graphical element to a sea of autumn colors.

A short -eared owl flys over some marsh reeds on a foggy morning. The reeds are golden yellow and the owl is backlit with its wings glowing.
