Last night’s 96% Sturgeon Moon rising over the National Mall after breaking through low clouds. From the Lincoln Memorial, I caught it just after it cleared the Capitol dome - a brief moment before it slipped behind the Washington Monument. I love how this tight view includes the flags flying at half‑mast in honor of Dolly Parton.

A deep partial lunar eclipse rising over the Washington Monument last night. The moon picked up that copper‑red glow - just shy of a true blood moon.
I captured this single frame 18 minutes before maximum eclipse, when the sky was clearest. By the time the eclipse peaked, the moon was more hidden behind thicker clouds.

Squeezed Needle — Back from a Pacific Northwest trip that included Seattle, and this view of the Space Needle was just a ten‑minute walk from our hotel. Loved this compressed perspective.

Wrapping up with some additional favorites from this year at the McKee-Beshers sunflower fields. I was fortunate to catch some solid takeoff sequences - always unpredictable, but fun when the launch lines up.

Photos feature Indigo Buntings, a Field Sparrow and Common Yellowthroats

Indigo Bunting taking flight early Saturday morning at McKee‑Beshers. It’s always fun to catch them in the air, and I was lucky enough to capture a few sequences. My prior post and this one are my favorites.

Indigo Buntings loving the sunflower fields this morning at McKee‑Beshers in Poolesville. So cool to capture one with its wings fully expanded as it took off.

Last night’s incredible Freedom 250 Fireworks in Washington, DC. What an experience being immersed in them while standing by the river. I didn’t just watch the fireworks — I was in the fireworks. It felt like the ultimate IMAX experience, with super‑tall bursts right in front of me and an unbelievable variety of sounds from the exploding shells. The late start and the 3 a.m. arrival home were absolutely worth it.

Happy Fourth of July! Photos from yesterday’s practice flyovers and aerial demonstrations for America’s 250th celebrations—part of the Freedom 250 / Wings of Freedom events leading into the Fourth of July weekend.
This was my first time seeing the Thunderbirds and a B‑2 bomber up close. Airshow photography rookie here, but wow. I thought it was only going to be simple flyovers, but they did a lot more than that!

Sunset at Anaeho'omalu Beach (A-Bay) on the Big Island - Hawaii. Timeless photo I took several years ago.

Last night’s full moon - a blue micromoon - rising over the Jefferson Memorial. The thin clouds added great texture to the sky, and the calm winds provided nice column reflections on the Tidal Basin.

tech details: Nikon Z8 at 200mm, f/4, single frame
