Sharing some shots of Oropendolas I took last year under the rain in Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Did you know their name comes from the Spanish words “oro” and “pendola”? These translate to “gold feathers,” referring to the bird’s bright yellow tail feathers. 💛

Following up on my latest post, here it is another shot of the Milky Way I took from Mono Lake during our last trip in October. It is a better view of the Milky Way core since I was using my other camera with a higher focal length lens. ✨

This photo is also a stack for the sky and a blend with a blue hour shot for the foreground.

What do you think of this different composition?

Last October I had the pleasure to visit the Eastern Sierra for a few days, one of the nights we went to shoot the Milky Way in Mono Lake. The core was lower but I was able to catch it. I was lucky enough that there was no one else in the area and I had the place all to myself. This is one of the few places where there is little light pollution, perfect for night photography. This is a stacked photo for the sky blended with a blue hour shot of the sand Tufas. Let me know what you think?

The Tufas, as many other things in the Eastern Sierra, always blow my mind and I am so happy I was able to shoot the Milky Way there. Have you ever seen the Tufas in Mono Lake?

“Blue hour magic” - Took these a few weeks ago when my dear friend was in town. We, with went to shoot in Santa Cruz and were treated to a pretty sunset. I always enjoy shooting the movement of the waves to see what patterns I can capture. Let me know which one is your favorite.

Took this shot last year when the PhotoGals came to visit, I have shared some shots of this outing already, but the sunset was so epic that I find myself wanting to share more photos with you, I hope you enjoy them!

📸 Eastern Sierra October Throwback! 🧡💛❤️

Can we just take a moment for the Fall colors that absolutely erupt in the Eastern Sierra?! 🤯 These shots are straight out of Lundy Canyon and around June Lake, where the aspens were putting on a serious show. It's like nature turned the saturation dial all the way up!

Which photo is your favorite? Let me know if you spot a little golden magic in your feed today! ✨

Long time no see, Facebook! 👋 It's been a minute, but I hope everyone's doing wonderfully! Sending good vibes your way.

Throwing it back to January with these vibrant beauties! 🦜 I had the most incredible time in Costa Rica, and these Collared Aracari toucans were definitely a highlight. Their colors are just mesmerizing!

Soaking up all the tropical feels with these feathered friends. Can't wait to share more adventures with you all soon! 🌴

King Vulture Kids: Fluffy & Fierce!
Remember my post about the majestic adult King Vulture? Their babies are equally awesome.
* Fuzzy Chicks: No sleek black & white yet, just soft downy feathers.
* Crown in Progress: Those iconic red wattles? Not so prominent on the youngsters.
* Mini-Monarchs: Smaller, but already rocking that regal posture.
These little guys may not be as intimidating as their parents, but they're still captivating!

Witnessing the incredible work at in Costa Rica! My friend leads their wildlife sanctuary, rehabilitating animals like the ones in these photos. Tragically, many are victims of poaching or accidents, luckily in Proyecto Asis they help them recover and go back to the wild when possible. Learn more & support at institutoasis.com
