Yesterday while hiking on the Lunch Loops in Grand Junction, I happened across the lovely Eastern Collared Lizard in photo 1, reminding me of another I encountered last year, June 22 in nearby McInnis Canyon. They are stunning creatures! #collaredlizard #desertwildlife #WelcomeToFruita #lunchloops

I always prefer to shoot moonrises one day prior to full, but I only got up here today, May 1. Nevertheless it was truly spectacular to watch at the Full Glower Moon rose over the saddle of Goblin Knob, in the Selkirks! #Moonrise #FlowerMoon #NorthernIdaho #XT5 #MayDayMoon #Photography
For all those suckers who ever supported this jackass! Sorry, I don’t know who to credit this to, but it’s pretty spot-on!! #FDJT #ImpeachAndConvict
Ilka Joy showed up on my doorstep, 01/08/2008, assigned by the Cat Gods to rescue me. She worked hard, resolute for 18 years 3 months, and she’s gone over that rainbow bridge, 04/07/2026. The very first photo I took of her, and the last, this afternoon. You did your best, Sweetheart.
Here’s one for #FridayFunk or #FunkyFriday , if there is such a thing. A #Vertorama from day 1 trekking the #IncaTrail back this past October. #Photography #EastCoastKin #WestCoastKin #Trekking #Peru #CaminoInca
I like the light I saw yesterday evening. I don’t much care for the gas and diesel prices. Pullman, WA, 04/01/2026 #UrbanGaze #YellowThu #Photograhy #Hopperesque #TheBlueHour #BlueHour #PNW
What’s going on with #BlueSky and #Photography ? It appears all my photos have disappeared and the Photography feed is empty? #BlueSkyArtShow #PNW #Reflection #UponRelection #BlueSkrPhoto
Ai data centers, cyber currencies…all sucking up vast amounts of electricity. Isn’t that going in the wrong direction?? #BreachTheDams #LowerSnakeRiver #PNW #Sustainability

Best day of skiing all season, but with our lack of snow here in the #PNW this was only my second day on skis this season! #vertorama Be sure you see the entire image! #XCSki #NordicSki #Photography #selfie I wish it would stick around, but we’re expecting it to warm up and rain in a few days.

Just came across a portrait I shot of a buddy of mine a few years ago. I always liked this one. #Portrait #ClassicMono #BWPortrait #CharacterPortrait #5dmkiii
