Chunky shroom on an old, half-dead tree in our little orchard. We leave standing deadwood wherever we can, since it's a vital part of the ecosystem. The woodpeckers especially appreciate it.#mushtodon #tree #nature
The year's first Monday, come and gone. Today's walk featured a couple neat little fungi friends under a pale sky. Love where I live. #fungiverse #lichensubscribe #nature #awalkaday #pnw #fungi #mushrooms
Happy New Year everybody! The holidays are about to end and I'm slowly getting back to things.One thing I've been experimenting lately is to add colour to cyanotype print using acrylic inks. Here's one of these experiments.#Nature #cyanotype #Illustration #NatureIllustration #Drawing #SketchBook #TraditionalMedia #AcrylicMarker #Acrylic #ink #InkDrawing #Plants #Woods
Took a very pleasant hike on a local trail today. No mountain, no ocean, no ponds— just a blissful walk in quiet solitude through a winter wonderland with no sounds except for the crunching of my feet on the snow. 😀❄️ #hiking #winter #CapeCod #nature #snow #photography #landscape #NaturePhotography #LandscapePhotography
Another first-time find for me. Highlighter orange northern cinnabar polypore (Pycnoporus cinnabarinus) really stands out in the grey part of winter. I love how there always seems to be something new to find. #nature #fungi #mushroom #mushrooms #mushtodon
Welcome 2026!It's a sunny, very cold morning, way too cold to take the camera outside into -22°C.Before the big freeze I found this beautiful Tree Lungwort (Lobaria pulmonaria) in an old-growth forest surrounding a lake.#lichenSuscribe #lichen #nature
Sparrow in a Pine TreeThis is a chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina), which I suspect has the largest population around here at the moment — though the goldfinches might have them beat. Hard to say for sure. There’s no official count, just what the eyes and ears suggest.If you enjoy photos of birds and other wildlife, take a look at my photo gallery. Sparrows are never overlooked—they're a valued and important part of my collection.

Today was an excellent day. I decided to head up to the Pinecrest Lake / Strawberry area to feast my eyes on mountains and snow before the storms come. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day trip. #Snow #California #Nature
My Mastodon instance disappeared without warning, so I'm starting over here. In the winter, you'll see mostly bird pictures and the rest of the year, you will also see flower, insect and landscape pictures. You won't find politics here and I won't try to sell you anything. I always include an ALT with my pictures. Here's a recent one of a pileated woodpecker. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography
