I was at San Diego Comic Con this past week and I definitely have to update yall on how it went!

For the longest time, I've been taking #FindThatLizard photos with my Nikon D3500, which I absolutely love! However, I am much overdue for an upgrade. I applied for the Black Women Photographer x Nikon Quarterly grant and won! Part of the award includes a new Nikon Z6III.

Yay! #foundthatlizard hiding in the next photo

Tonight you’re searching for a sagebrush lizard. Can you #FindThatLizard?! Recently, I visited Calico Basin. I got there early, at 7 am. It was almost 90 degrees even that early, and I worried I wouldn’t see anything.

Happy #WorldSnakeDay! I'm sharing about my first time ever seeing a rattle snake. The photos in the video are of a banded rock rattle snake | saw in 2020 out in the Chiricahua mountains. So cool! I hope you see a snake today! #snake #wildlife #nature #outdoors

I #FoundThatLizard! You should give it a try!

I #FoundThatLizard, can you?

A fellow hiker on his way to his car said he’d been there since 4 am and didn’t see anything. Herping really is just the luck of the draw. Within the first 30 mins of this hike, I saw a sagebrush lizard. These small lizards are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day.

This’ll be a #FindThatLizard challenge in a couple weeks after you forget about this video 😂😂

I went camping up in Mt. Charleston right outside of Vegas and it was divine. The only thing that would’ve made it better is a hammock

Tonight, you're searching for a western fence lizard, Sceloporus occidentalis, aka blue belly. Can you #FindThatLizard?!

The guy on the bus next to me started out our journey man spreading so I said fuck it. I guess we’re touching cause I’m not making myself smaller or uncomfortable. He has since retreated to the confines of his seat 😌

Excuse my French but Fuck FIFA and whoever approved the $65 parking fee for fan fest at union station. The money gouging is ridiculous and purchasing my ticket should’ve come with a warning about the fee if they weren’t going to accommodate travelers otherwise😭

We did it 😎

Heading out to see some very special lizards!! Also I need a new camera bag. This one does not fit everything. Any recs on what to upgrade to? #photography #wildlifephotography #photogear

South Philly you have lightning bugs to protect too 😘

Made a new friend

Everyone, say hello to the long-tailed brush lizard, Urosaurus graciosus graciosus. It's their first time being featured on #FindThatLizard! This cutie graciously (see what I did there? 😂) let me do a whole photoshoot! I was experimenting with a new lens that one of my friends suggested.

Give me a couple mins! This week’s FindThatLizard challenge is loading!

My problem is that I have so many great ideas and I try to do all of them with very limited time. Even worse I’m prone to excessive procrastination. The rest of this years I’m building skills to help myself develop systems that work!

So the photo I want to use as this week's challenge photo is waaaay overexposed, and trying to fix that is proving to be a pain in my butt

I'm looking at the photos I took yesterday, and I only took 81. I was very intentional with each shutter, but that tells me I didn't see enough lizards. I'm going to add a few of the photos I took to this thread as I edit them. #photography #wildlife #JoshuaTree #NationalPark #Outside #lizard #toad

Joshua Tree was even better than I thought!

I’ve decided to use my free will in the best way possible and go camping in Joshua Tree. I need an escape from regular life and to be isolated for a lil bit

Happy Juneteenth! Make sure you do something nice for a Black person today! Chattel slavery may be over be we are still direct victims of its negative impacts today. You can support this Black woman by becoming a patron, blessing my Venmo, and/or telling a friend about the work I’m doing. 🔗 👇🏿
