This little western honey bee was all tuckered out on a sunflower petal. #photography #macrophotography #westernhoneybee #beephotography #macrobee

I searched every milkweed plant along the pier in Grand Haven and finally found one monarch caterpillar (because who doesn’t go to Coast Guard Fest looking for caterpillars? 🤣) #photography #macrophotography #monarch #caterpillar

I had to head out of town for work right after Rebel Road so I’m a little late posting my photos this year. #photography #streetphotography #motorcycle #rebelroad #muskegon

Hi there! What’cha doin’? Met my mom and aunt for breakfast but didn’t want to head home before my class reunion that started at 1 (we’re old now, we can’t party late 🤣). Decided to take pics in mom’s backyard. No butterflies but did spot this damselfly. #photography #macrophotography #damselfly

Oh look who I found! I see Ms. Leafcutter Bee is back eating up all my echinacea again this year! You’re cute but I hate what you do to my flowers. #photography #macrophotography #bee #leafcutterbee

Views from my train window… I finally finished going through my photos from my trip to Yellowstone. This is one of my favorite shots as we travelled on the California Zephyr through Colorado. #photography #trainjourney #amtrak #colorado #viewthroughmywindow

I hope you have a bee-utiful day! #photography #macrophotography #bee

Hmm, found someone munching on my echinacea this morning. #photography #macrophotography

The view out my train window. One of my favorite areas when riding on the California Zephyr. I love the colors in this area of Utah. #photography #amtrak #californiazephyr #utah #viewoutmywindow

Gotta freshen up and look good! -Bee #photography #macrophotography #westernhoneybee #bee

It’s a rough weekend. My dad passed away almost 23 1/2 years ago. I hate Father’s Day because frankly it’s hard. It hurts. Yesterday, I called my mom up and asked if she wanted to go to Cherry Point Farms. What it really meant was I wanted to go take pictures. Not just any pictures… #photography

I needed some bee therapy today. Took a trip up to Cherry Point Farm so I could take shots of some bees. Might be the best shot of a bee in flight I’ve had so far. #photography #bee #westernhoneybee #macrophotography #beeinflight

Traveling along on the California Zephyr on Memorial Day, we had our eyes peeled for wildlife. I didn’t have the right lens on my camera to capture a great shot of this beauty in the tree along the river but if you zoom in to the center of the pic you can find it. #photography #amtrak #baldeagle

Thanks to the rain I finally made a little headway in going through my photos this morning from my train trip out on the California Zephyr (still have to go through the ones from the trip home, too). The stretch through Colorado is so gorgeous! #photography #amtrak #colorado #drivebyphotography

I’ve visited churches all around during my travels from little white country churches to Sainte Chapelle in Paris. The architecture fascinates me. While in Salt Lake City, I wanted to see the Salt Lake Temple. #photography #churches #saltlakecity #ldstemple

Time didn’t allow a trip to Eva’s Bakery this time with a 3 am train to catch but I might need to make another trip to Salt Lake City to try it. I did love the store front! #photography #saltlakecity #evasbakery #storefront

Such a beautiful @amtrak.com train station, inside and out! This was my first chance getting to explore Union Station in Denver. #photography #trainstation #amtrak #denver

I had traveled to Idaho in 2024 but until the other day, I had never actually seen it in the daylight. This was the view out of our van window on the way back from Yellowstone. #photography #idaho

While on our @amtrak.com trip to Yellowstone last week, we had a chance to get off the train and explore Denver for a little while. It gave me the chance for a little street photography. #photography #streetphotography #blackandwhitephoto #Denver #amtrak

This may have been my favorite area of Yellowstone when I visited last week! #photography #yellowstone

“But I want to go play in the water!” “No, lay down and take a nap like your brother.” Bison at Yellowstone last week. #photography #Yellowstone #bison #fluffycows

At one of our 1st stops when we arrived at Yellowstone, our guide told us to look right until he told us it was time to look to the left so we could get the full effect of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. When I turned my head to the left, this was my view! #photography #yellowstone #canyon

I’ve been trying to decide where to start with my photos on my recent @amtrak.com trip to Yellowstone. I’m still going through my pics but this experience outside Denver was incredible! How often are you higher than the rainbow? #photography #amtrak #rainbow #trainjourney
