Sometimes you just have to slow down and take a closer look.

There is so much beauty hidden in the curves, colors, and delicate textures of a flower—details we often miss when we simply glance at it. 🌸

Nature has a way of reminding us that beauty is in the details.

Every once in a while, the natural world gives you a chance to see something you normally wouldn't notice.

I love the character in this little guy's face—the curious eyes, the delicate antennae, and all those incredible details packed into such a small creature. 🦗

The closer you look, the more amazing our natural world becomes.

From the Iowa State Fair to Colorado! 📸
Congratulations to Marca Dagenais of Colorado Springs, winner of my August Print Giveaway! She chose “Twisted by Time,” my Honorable Mention photo from the 2026 Iowa State Fair Salon.
I photographed this twisted bristlecone pine after hiking several miles into Great Basin National Park. I knew immediately it needed to be black and white.
Now an 11×14 print is heading from Iowa to Colorado. ❤️
And the best part? After photographing this tree, we found a life-size photo of the exact same tree in the park’s visitor center!

ID help please — Yellow-crowned Night-Heron?

This afternoon (August 25) at about 2:30 p.m., I looked out at our backyard pond in the middle of Ames, Iowa and found this guy standing on the rocks.

My initial thought is juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, but I'd really appreciate some confirmation from the Iowa birding experts here. Juvenile Yellow-crowned and Black-crowned Night-Herons can apparently be tricky to separate.

The dark/heavy bill, fine streaking, orange eye and overall appearance are what are leading me toward Yellow-crowned.

What do you think — Yellow-crowned or Black-crowned?

And if it is a Yellow-crowned, I'm guessing a backyard pond in central Ames in late August would be a pretty unusual sighting. 😳

Thanks for helping with the ID!
