Bonne soirée à tous 🤗😘

Sunrise. Mt Hood. Lifting fog through the trees and mountaintop, creamy yellow sky, topped with gray and white clouds, with a small patch of blue sky at top.

Last one of Mt. Hood at sunrise yesterday. Feb 28. Wishing you a peaceful day. 💛🩶🫶🏻

Two Mule Deer with their faces in a shaft of light, a fawn with its mother nuzzling on one huge ear...in black and white.

Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder & joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily & I must return the gift.

Happy Friday, beautiful and peaceful weekend dear friends! 🍀🕊

Don't make me come down there! ...says the Arizona Gray Squirrel from the Ponderosa Pine branch above my head.

We're heading up to the pines...✌️

I'm NOT quitting my day job to become a poet, don't worry. I am manifesting though, since we're headed up the mountain this weekend. Stubby, the Mule Deer buck, backlit and passing by me in a snowy clearing on his way down to the creek and the does, not pictured, in black and white.

“I dub thee ‘Stubby’”...I said to the deer,
Whose antlers were odd, but he showed no fear,
As the rut was on, and the does were near.
So I took his photo, while the coast was clear,
Then posted it on Bluesky, for my friends dear.

Did you just call my trunk thick?? ...says a Mule Deer looking back over her rump from the far side of a clearing in the forest.

Fesshole: On twitter, in an effort to find any excuse to get more of my deer pix into the timeline, I used to sneak deer into my Tuesday or Thursday treehugger skeets...

...good times. 🤘😉

Thank you all for your RPs,❤️, and follows!🙏
Peace for everyone, everywhere! 🍀🕊

Today's destination in the Black Mountains, "Thumb Butte" or as the locals call it "Finger Rock"...because it looks like someone giving the finger from certain angles, duh...just up the hill from all the vibrant desert marigolds in bloom across the desert this morning...

SPRING has already sprung...🌼⛰️🌵

...over in the Black Mountains of Arizona. So today we hiked out to 'Finger Rock'...officially named Thumb Butte, to enjoy the #wildflowers! 😶‍🌫️👍

🌿 Wanna come along? I took some pix! 1/3 🧵

High tide at Gyles Quay, Co. Louth earlier today. The cormorants were loving it.

📍 Sheep’s Head Loop Walk

Mama and baby strolling along the aptly named Sheep’s Head Loop in West Cork last Saturday morning. It was a foggy, drizzly start, but that didn’t take away from the absolutely stunning scenery.

Bonne soirée à tous 🤗😘

One of those moments from the slopes of Beinn a' Chearcaill, what a magical place this is.

get lost together..

A wee Mule Deer fawn wearing her winter coat is walking away from the camera, ignoring my pleas for a look back, and is actively scanning the snowy hillside beyond with her radar-dish ears to locate her momma (not pictured), in black and white.

Your outer journey
may contain
a million steps;
your inner journey
only has one:
the step
you are taking
right now.

Deer eating seeds.

I put seeds down on the stump to attract the Red- bellied Woodpecker but these two had a different idea.

A Mule Deer fawn in the snow is just starting to show some nubbins if you pixel peep to check out the light in his sunlit eye.

Find beauty not only in the thing itself
but in the pattern of the shadows,
the light and dark which that thing provides.

Looking like 5 miles of bad road at this time of year, a Mule Deer buck emerges from the shadows and looks back at you from the cold and snowy forest with a forlorn gaze.

The hope for the animals of tomorrow is to be found in a human culture which learns to feel beyond itself. We must learn empathy, we must learn to see into the eyes of an animal and feel that its life has value because it is alive. Nothing else will do.

...relax your eyes, if you're looking for a deer. So am I. Or a bull elk. A shot I really want. In the snow. Looking back at me, with his tracks leading thru the forest between us. Like this frame of just the tracks...that appears like I was a day late to meet the one who followed this trail. Sad face. Call it manifesting, but I carry around a mental file of shots I want, and 'see' them happening. Soon, deer peeps. Picture it with me.

Winter reveals the secrets of the woods. ❄️🦌🌿

There goes Gordo, the Great Blue Heron of Lynx Lake, flying away from the little cove that I just shot his session in. The dam is at the other end of this little gem of a lake.
