I have seen these beauties in all kinds of places but finally found one crossing the path in front of me, so exciting. Got to ground level at a respectful distance and shot away. Even got some tongue shots.

Was a little lazy over the winter but the season has begun… starting with a trip up to Assateague, both Maryland & Virginia sides.

This post features a couple photos from the Maryland side. Couple wild ponies & a Sitka deer.

Took a photography/posting break for the holidays… now it is back to nature therapy!

There are tons of adorable animals out there but it is tough to beat a Bufflehead! The males are striking yes, but the females are so just so dang cute. 🖤🤍
