Backyard play during a break in my workday, I wandered outside to capture the blooms on my dogwood tree only to find this handsome little fella just hanging out, posing just for me🐝🌸#NaturePhotography #shotoncanon #macrophotography #nature #dogwood #bee #spring

@truthplane @behaviorpanel @behaviorpanel would you guys please, pretty please cover Sherri Papini!? 🙏🏼 a classic example of entitlement, deception and narcissism that I’d love to hear your take on

Feeling cooped up indoors? Here's a little #MondayMotivation while we work together to stay safe and wait out the recent storms. ☀️🎄✨ by Beth Young (@optimal_focus) at Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve via Flickr.

On a wet winter afternoon in Yosemite, thick swirling fog could be found throughout the park along water tributaries and tree lines. The sun was just beginning to break through and render the fog in golden light in this scene of Cascade Creek #NaturePhotography #woodland #mood

Stones in a creekbed reflecting a spectrum of opalescent colors in the rippling waters of Glacier National Park. #Abstract #NaturePhotography #water #glacier

Release the Kraken!! On the rugged coast of Madeira, there is a rocky location where the waves slap against each other and shoot vertically up in the air.#Portugal #seascape #madeira #landscapephotography #NaturePhotography

A Christmas morning walk in Armstrong Redwoods, a beautiful area of giant coastal redwoods and lush green ferns. The fog was just beginning to burn off and provided an ethereal mood with dramatic beams of sunlight in the forest. #NaturePhotography #forest #California #CanonFavPic

Wishing everyone a rejuvenating and festive holiday season! This image of an early frost blanketing the diverse woodland of the Smokies represents the stillness and quiet of the season that I so appreciate #NationalPark #landscapephotography #nature #NaturePhotography

Just sharing a few of my favorite seascapes from the stunning island of Madeira 🇵🇹🌊#seascape #madeira #Portugal #landscapephotography #landscape #nature

The towering sea stacks of Ribeira da Janela as seen from the air from our @djiglobal Mavic 3 with beams of light illuminating the steep cliffs of the tiny island of Madeira at sunrise.#portugal #europe #aerial #aerial_photography #drone #dji #sunrise #madeira

Latest install of my work at Kaiser Permanente hospital in Manteca. Makes my heart happy to see one of my simple poppy images printed large and in charge for the benefit of patients 🥰❤️💪🏼 #healthcareart #NaturePhotography #Healing

More blissfully quiet explorations of the beautiful variety of autumn colors along the banks of a stream in Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains National Park. #NaturePhotography #landscapephotography #Tennessee #autumn #Reflections

A rare phenomenon of suspended particles of ice crystals that delicately covered the trees at the highest elevations of the Great Smoky Mountains NP. The frozen fog that clung to the woodland emphasized the forest’s intricate layers and textures #landscapephotography #Tennessee

How about a little bit of waterfall for your #WaterfallWednesday I loved the glow of the golden autumn foliage in what I consider to be just a classic Smokies scene #NaturePhotography #Tennessee

The richness & diversity of Smoky Mountains NP is so inspiring! The bright yellow of the leaves tricked the camera into rendering the dark shadows in the background in a rich, vibrant blue that I quite liked for an autumnal Skittles candy effect #autumn #NaturePhotography #fall
