New puppy in the house! I really like taking dog tongue pictures. There is something honest and raw about their panting after hard play. #photography #petphotogrsphy #beardedcollie #beardie #dog #photographersofbluesky

I'm so happy to welcome this firefly to my yard! Fireflies are an indicator species. Their presence or absence directly reflect the overall environmental quality of an ecosystem. Fireflies were all but gone from my yard. I've been actively re-wilding my yard, and now they are making a comeback!

"I'm learning to fly" This white breasted nuthatch fell from a tree in my yard; gliding to the ground. I picked it up, took it to the tree. He climbed and fell two more times. On the third try he fell and flapped his wings, fyling for the first time. I felt so proud! 😅 #photography #nature #bird

Good friends placed a memorial to two of our dogs, Blade and Bolt. They were spectacular agility champions and phenomenal companions! Everyday they filled our lives with love and joy, and left their paw prints across our souls. They are dearly missed. #agility #AKCagility #SIUE #Beardedcollie
