Don't forget to appreciate the sparrows. They may not be as colorful or flashy as other birds, but they are beautiful #birds #wildlife #photography 🌿

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Sometimes people find the color in Aurora photos misleading, as what you see in real life oftentimes looks mostly grey. This photo from the early morning substorm on May 11th I edited specifically to look like what I saw with my own eyes. It was incredibly beautiful #photography #aurora #astro

I haven't been able to get out lately due to cloudy and overcast weather, and now I'm sick, so I'm digging into some slightly older photos. This wigeon slipping on ice was taken about a month ago #birds #wildlife #photography 🌿

One of the great things about having a high quality lens is that it allows me to crop more for artistic purposes. With my old 75-300, I couldn't do much cropping at all without losing a ton of image quality #birds #wildlife #photography 🌿
