I believe this would be a Least Chipmunk (Neotamias minimus). found running wild in the Grand Tetons National Park #Photography #Wild #Wildlife #Animals

A lone Bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus) a rare sighting as they usually travel in groups. I think this one was looking around to see where everyone else flew off to. #birding #birds #birdphotography #Photography

Spring is back! (at least around here). This is actually a photo I shot last summer but it is a beautiful day in the Portland area :)

A creation I made with a shot of ships in waiting at the Astoria Oregon port, superimposed with a nautical chart of the same area. #Photography

While trying to shoot some pics of this Great Blue Heron, resting on a piling, a California Sea Lion swam by, stopped and barked at me a bit, then swam off. It happened so fast I didn't think about switching to video mode in time :( #birding #birds #BIRDS #birds! #birdphotography #Photography

Just to show I'm not all photography. I created this composite of several AI generated images and digital painting to blend it all together. See if you can guess the song that was in my head. #digitalart
