Some of my favorite shots to take are along bridges like this one -- it's always fun to discover how they turn out as "tiny planets".

Red Wing, Minnesota, USA; traditional territory of the Wahpekute & Očhéthi Šakówiŋ nations ~ original 360° photos at SouthernMinnesotaGuy.com

Two people walking on a pedestrian bridge over train tracks and a snowy field. Because this is a "tiny planet" representation of a 360 photograph, it looks all wonky and stuff. (I think that's the technical term.)

Here's a #DailyPhoto from earlier this week for #FungiFriday. My app tells me it's Stereum Ostrea, aka #FalseTurkeyTail

#Nature #NaturePhotography #Fungus #Fungi

Bracket Fungi growing on a rotting tree stump. It is a fan shaped fungus with crimped edges, twisting into various shapes and combining to form a "rosette" on the top of the trunk. It is an off white colour with rings of different shades of brown

Fully open purple crocus flower covered in small water droplets that reflect the light in front of a black background. Lighting tangent to the flower creates dark shadows in the curvature of the petals. The yellow and orange pistil in the center is lit up brightly.

I captured this image on foggy morning on the Mullica River. I really loved the minimalist look to this when I processed it.

A boat is tied up at a dock, waiting for the fog to lift on the Mullica River in New Jersey.  You can barely make out some land and channel markers in the background through the thick fog.  This photo is processed in black and white.

One of the last photos I took of Jasper and the bay, along with the young sorrel colt they took under their wing. The two were found shot to death by murderers and cowards. The young sorrel hasn't been seen since. I hope he turns up safe! My heart is heavy, and my faith in human nature shaken once again, to the core!

Three amigos. The pinto stallion and the bay have been friends and travel buddies for a long time. They took the young sorrel colt under their wing when he became separated from his family.

Another surprise.

When I first started this hobby, there were a lot of house sparrows and house finches around and I learned to tell the difference between two, or so I thought. What I really did was learn to identify a house finch, once I did that all others were house sparrows. 🙄 This bird is a breeding male.

And I'm out of characters 😠.

"You can find House Sparrows most places where there are houses (or other buildings), and few places where there aren’t. Along with two other introduced species, the European Starling and the Rock Pigeon, these are some of our most common birds. Their constant presence outside our doors makes them easy to overlook, and their tendency to displace native birds from nest boxes causes some people to resent them. But House Sparrows, with their capacity to live so intimately with us, are just beneficiaries of our own success." - allaboutbirds.org

This is a male house finch perched on a branch in a tree.  The bird almost blends perfectly with his surroundings. He has a short thick black beak and black eyes.  A thing I find interesting is his visible eye appears to be set forward more than most birds; his eye is hard to see so perhaps it's a trick of light. The feathers on his back and wings are a rich dark amber brown with a light tan strip on the wing about halfway down.  His throat and breast are mostly white tan, but there is a black patch just below the throat, which according to what I've read identifies a breeding male.  His feet are pinkish and grasping a branch but are difficult to see because of focus.

A small hydrangea flower. I'm fascinated by these flowers. I don't know if it's the simplicity, the symmetry, the small nub in the center, or most likely, all three.

We have a bush about 15 feet long and 7 feet high that grows hundreds of these flowers every spring. I photograph them way more than I should.

A closeup of a single white hydrangea flower. The flower has four rounded petals, one up, one down and one on either side, making it nicely symmetrical/ There is a single small nub in the center. The flower is at the end of a stem that has various other plant parts on it. The background is out of focus shades of dark green.

Puppy pic ...

This is an old photo. When we first got Ben, we got his brother Jerry as well. So, it was Ben and Jerry. Now it's Ben and Charlie.

Ben is on the bottom in this picture. Unfortunately, Jerry passed away about nine years ago at the age of five. Yep, it's sad, but I have fond memories of the two of them together and their escapades.

Ben and Jerry, both small black and tan puppies, still wet from a bath. They are snuggled one atop the other and covered with a red towel.

Throwback to one of the wildest (and luckiest) shots I've ever taken.

On approach into London several years back, the position of the sun & clouds created a halo around our plane's shadow as the sun highlighted the Tower Bridge. I'm still kicking myself for using my iPhone instead of my good camera, but I didn't expect the clouds to part. Lesson learned! 😒 😆

#Travel #TravelPhotography #London #WindowSeat #Photography #Rainbow #Thames #TowerBridge #UK #Throwback #ThrowbackThursday

Taken from my window seat as the plane approaches London, clouds part enough for sun to shine on the Thames and highlight both the Tower Bridge and The Tower of London. To the right of the frame you can see the shadow of the jetliner as it soars above the city, and it has a rainbow halo surrounding it as the sun shines from behind it and through clouds.
