A bit of autumnal forest dampness on a hike today. A little dark, a little spooky, but mostly just pretty.

Twin Falls trail, Olallie State Park, Central Cascades in Washington State (USA).

One of the new illustrations…

I’ll be getting some prints done when I’ve finished a few more new pieces. Hopefully they will be available by the end of October.

I checked on my favorite belted #kingfisher and he's still there 2 months later. Same tree, just facing the other direction. Rocking the punk hair gloriously. Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, Virginia, USA 4-Oct-2024 #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Brace yourself for this one: Black holes the size of an atom (!) that contain the mass of an asteroid (!!) may fly through the inner solar system about once a decade (!!!) and could explain dark matter (!!!!) and if one flies by the moon or Mars, we should be able to detect them (!!!!!) https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dark-matter-black-holes-could-fly-through-the-solar-system-once-a-decade/

Stream near Huckworthy last week #Dartmoor #Devon #mosstodon

The water was still enough to see an incredible wave extend in front the beaver’s head. I’ve seen beaver many times but never in such still water and at such a low angle to capture just how far the wave trough is in front of the beaver. What a way to kick off fall in Northern Nevada! #nevada #WildlifePhotography #truckee

Some time ago I made a gif of them:

Stream at Middlemoor, Whitchurch Down this week #Dartmoor #Devon #water #landscape

I know it looks like some heavy photoshop, but if you expose for the brilliant white of the Egrets the shadows of a small cove in the reeds become a black hole….

I spent yesterday chasing a pair of Roseate Spoonbill that somehow ended up in northern Nevada and got some good shots, but the egrets stole the show. 🤷‍♂️😆 #BirdPhotography #nevada
