Satin elegance : The female red-headed trogon (Harpactes erythrocephalus) may skip the flashy red, but her plumage is all class — soft hues, fine barring, and a gaze that means business. Photo: Husini Bakar. #Biodiversity #Wildlife #Birds #Birding #WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography

A couple weeks ago @CTGT and I headed to a local spot where we get good looks at Wood Ducks in March. Along with seeing about ten of them, we had the delight of seeing another coolly graphic species, a wayward Long-tailed Duck.

Good day!

Editing is truly like freeing a sculpture from within the stone. To think, I used to despise revising.

It’s about discovery, about going deeper into emotions—or deeper into the forest. It’s about possibilities.

Be everwell.

Ein schönes Wochenende! Schaut euch mal wieder um und genießt die Natur! #lippe #lippeliebe #heimat #heimatliebe #hermannsdenkmal #externsteine #lipperland #wandern #nature #photography #fotografie #natur #teutoburgerwald #hiking #wanderlust #outdoor #naturephotography #landscape #wald #travel

Few pics from yesterday evening at Nuuksio national park.

Met a swan couple and even tho I am NOT a birdie girlie, took some pics of them. Not sure what to do with these but maybe I figure out how to edit them the best way - so out of my comfort zone Still it was fun watching them minding their business. I'm sure they are building their nest soon and getting ready for some little ones.

Did you know that swan is the national bird of Finland?
