Here is a moment of peace for your timeline. Little River, Great Smoky Mountains National Park

While I am a sports fan, I do not agree with the tomahawk chop, the drum, or mocking chant of the Chiefs.

Another awesome sighting from Paige. We love our backyard. The area brings so many different wildlife being near a river that's apart of a large conservation area. #baldeagle #nationalbird #naturephotography #conservation @frecklefacema.bsky.social

Amazing shot of the moon between silver maple branches from fiancée. We feel so lucky to live in front of a large conservation area. #moon #naturephotography #Samsunggalaxy #phonephotography @frecklefacema.bsky.social

Happy Saturday from the bison 🦬 . #bison #snow #nature #forestry

Is there anywhere in America where a forester can work and the leadership is competent? Asking for a friend. #Forester #environmentaljobs #jobs #nature

#update This is what that side of the pond looks like now.

Christians hate hearing the origin of Christmas 🤣.

This is my busy season as a #forester, so less posts. Anyway, one of my first tries at a #career was web designer. No idea what I was thinking. You couldn't pay me to sit at a desk nowadays. #careerchoices #naturelover #cantsitstill

My crew is finally able to get around to destroying some #invasivespecies. This week we cleaned up around a nearby #pond, but job's not finished! The 2nd pic shows how much more we have to do! Progress pics coming soon!

ID that tree! #Hint: its bark is both fireproof and waterproof. #treeID #trees #forestry #nature 🌳

Starting tree ID days, so who can identify this tree?! #Hint: this tree is considered a living fossil! 🌳 #tree #treeID

Great news. Now, do the Southern Plains bumble bee 🐝

U.S. wildlife officials proposed on Tuesday that monarch butterflies receive protection as a threatened species.

Sad!

Another beautiful picture from my fiancée. Foggy morning. #photography #naturephotography #trees

Prescribed Burn day! 🔥 🔥 🔥 #prescribedburn #prescribedfire #forestry

It's wild to see how much invasive species such as autumn olive and honeysuckle can obscure from view. This at one of our historic location called Missouri Town. #invasivespecies #grownative #invasivespeciesremoval #forestry #beforeandafter

Mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides)

I'm sorry, but if you're vocal about hunters and not about the ridiculous amount of corporate-led deforestation, then I don't want to hear your opinion. Blaming the little guy is irrational and comes from a privileged standpoint in most environmental issues, if you ask me.

Story of my life on this app 😂
