    Zilker Park, Austin, Texas

    I love that Austin has this wild park (Zilker) right in the middle of the city. I’ve been going there with my grandchildren since they were small.

    A rocky riverbank with several people scattered around, including a person standing with hands on hips on the left and a man and child walking toward the river on the right. Trees with bare branches line the river, and a cliff with a small house on top is in the background under a cloudy sky.

    Backyard at Dawn

    I set up my new home office, so this is the view I get at dawn while drinking my coffee.

    A scenic view of a sunset through a dense forest. The sky is painted with hues of orange and pink, creating a vivid backdrop behind the silhouetted trees. The branches are bare, and some are covered with vines, adding to the intricate pattern against the colorful sky.

    Crane

    Birding is its own reward.
    A heron flies low over a calm lake, its wings outstretched and reflected on the water's surface, surrounded by trees along the distant shoreline.

    Busted

    Wonder Woman - Busted. She ran a marathon the day before and was supposed to be out, going for an easy walk, but when I saw her, she was running.

    A person stands smiling on a road wearing a blue shirt, black leggings, and gloves. Nearby is a stop sign and residential houses with trees in the background.

    Winter trees in Dupont Forest in Western, NC.

    Bare tree branches reach upward against a deep blue sky, creating a stark, intricate pattern. The scene suggests a winter environment with crisp, clear weather.

    This railroad crossing in on one of the cycling routes my club takes. It’s been the cause of many, many concussions through the years when riders didn’t cross properly.

    Railway tracks extend into the distance, surrounded by gravel and bordered by trees, creating a symmetrical perspective.

    A farm pond in Gray’s Creek, NC in winter. The next year, swollen by rains from Hurricane Matthew, the dam burst. It has never been rebuilt.

    Trees stand in still water, creating mirror-like reflections; the setting is a serene, wooded area with bare branches under a cloudy sky.

    I’m not phobic about snakes, but this thing was just creepy looking. No cuddling for him.

    This image shows a close-up photograph of a bright green snake coiled around itself. The snake has a vibrant green coloration with visible scales and small, white, irregularly shaped spots scattered across its body. The snake's head is visible, positioned in the center of the coil. The snake appears to be resting or sleeping. The background is blurred, suggesting a shallow depth of field, which helps to focus attention on the snake. The image is well-lit, highlighting the texture and color of the snake's skin.

    Koalas are adorable to look at and fun to photograph, but if you’ve ever thought about adopting one, do yourself a favor and Google “Gumnut and Craigslist” and you can thank me later.

    A koala holding a baby koala rides on its back. They cling to a rough-textured tree branch in a lush, green natural setting.

    Charlotte on a cold winter night.

    A city skyline features illuminated skyscrapers standing prominently against a cloudy night sky, with urban infrastructure and roads in the foreground creating a bustling metropolitan scene.

    When I worked at a large rural high school, I used to take a walk every day at lunchtime, even when we’d have a rare southern snow storm.

    Footprints form a trail in fresh snow, leading towards a line of trees under a clear blue sky, with shadows casting patterns on the ground.

    Lorikeets, a nectar eating parrot found in Australia. It is common along the eastern seaboard, from northern Queensland to South Australia.

    Colorful parrots perch closely on a branch, displaying vivid green, blue, red, and yellow feathers. The setting appears outdoors amidst indirect sunlight and blurred natural surroundings.

    Sunrise over Tomales Bay in Inverness, California.

    A bird glides through a vibrant sunset, with rolling hills and mist over a calm body of water. The sky blends hues of orange, yellow, and blue.

    The tulips in the spring in Central Park, New York City

    Tulips bloom vibrantly, creating a sea of light and dark petals. In the background, a statue stands amidst trees and people, capturing a serene park setting.

    I love the way the snowy background makes them look so brilliant. #birds

    Birds gather at a snowy bird feeder; a cardinal hovers mid-flight while others perch nearby. Falling snowflakes enhance the wintry scene with branches visible in the background.A small bird with a reddish crest perches on an ice-covered branch, surrounded by a blurred green background.

    A winter view of the dogwood and azaleas in my front yard that will be so beautiful come spring.

    Snow-covered trees stand still, their branches laden with white, against a backdrop of a road lined with more snow-blanketed landscape and bushes, under a dim, pale light.

    Useless Things - Hiking Edition. The little known national scenic trail, the Nuesiok, located in the Croatan National Forest in North Carolina floods frequently and the park service tries to help, kind of.

    A narrow wooden bridge crosses a small, flooded area on a forest trail surrounded by trees.

    I took this photo out the window of a restaurant while eating dinner near (not with) David Sedaris who has a vacation home nearby. In case you ever make it to Atlantic Beach, NC, check out Amos Mosquitos for fresh caught local seafood.

    A house with windows lit stands against a vibrant sunset, surrounded by marshland with tall grasses under a dramatic, cloudy sky.
