Rolling hills at dawn with a few trees dotting the horizon. There's a set of tire tracks cutting through the grass.

Bluesky has really started feeling like a chore for me, so I decided to remove most of my photos and start fresh (mainly without the hassle of constant hashtags). I want my posts to be more thoughtful and meaningful. I hope you'll still stick around!

Water can be a little spooky sometimes. 👻 Happy Halloween!

These are sick!! Was the skull pure luck, or did you manipulate it after? Either way, super awesome shots!

This reminds me of the art collages people make out of paper and magazine scraps -- love it!

This is stunning😍

Thanks Alan! I've been having fun reworking some of my old shots in lightroom😄

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #herons. I am, of course, going with another great egret, as they are part of the heron family. There is still debate about how the species are classified biologically!

I think #egrets might be the best #BirdOfTheDay theme yet, but I'm probably biased! Here's a great egret from back home this past summer.

Misty Oregon coastline near Yachats with rocky cliffs, soft fog drifting over the ocean, and gentle waves along the shore captured by Dan Sproul.

Fog rolls gently over Oregon’s rugged shoreline in Misty Coast Oregon. This serene coastal scene captures the tranquil beauty of the Pacific Northwest — where cliffs meet mist and ocean in perfect harmony. 🌊

My favorite bird to photograph, but I didn't know much about their history. Thanks for the lesson and beautiful photos! 🪽

Thank you! It was my first time there and I'm definitely planning to go back. I will be avoiding tourist season, though😂

Yes! From last weekend.

A close-up photo of an orange Calendula flower set against a dark, out-of-focus background. The main subject a single fully bloomed flower, is positioned in the upper right-center of the frame dominating the composition. Its petals, a vibrant & warm shade of orange, are arranged in multiple concentric layers, creating a full and dynamic appearance. The outer petals are longer & more spread out, with a slightly ragged edge, while the inner ones are shorter and more densely packed, curving inward towards the flower's centre. The overall shape is reminiscent of a daisy but with a more complex, layered structure, characteristic of a "double" or "semi-double" flowerhead. The flower's central disc, is a deep, rich reddish-brown hue, providing a striking contrast to the bright orange petals. The centre is textured, composed of many small, tightly packed florets. Surrounding the prominent central disc, a ring of shorter, darker orange petals helps to transition the colour palette from the brilliant outer layers to the dark core. The stem supporting the main flower is a pale, greyish-green, & is visible below the bloom. To the left of the main flower another flower is visible in soft focus. This second flower appears to be at a different stage of development, with some petals still furled and its form less distinct than the main subject. Its colour is a slightly less intense orange. A third, smaller, & even more out-of-focus floral bud can be seen further to the left, suggesting a plant with multiple blooms & buds. The background is almost entirely black, with a few faint, indistinct hints of green foliage. The dark backdrop serves to isolate the flowers & highlight their warm colours & intricate details. The lighting is natural, coming from above & to the right, which creates soft shadows and a gentle glow on the petals. The image uses a shallow depth of field, rendering the flowers in sharp focus while blurring the background, which adds to the dramatic feel of the shot.

Hope my #Bluesky buds have had a #BloomScrolling great weekend!

That reflection is incredible!
