The photo shows rain collecting on a glass window and a blurred background of a ships railing with a rescue ring hung on it and the sea in the far background.

Oh the expressions on these two! This is a very new baby pony who did about 9000 cute things while I watched. Mom’s mare glare isn’t about humans. It had to do with other ponies invading their personal space. #becauseponies #dartmoornationalpark #ponies #horses #wiildlifephotography #photography

Three young wild horse siblings for #BlueSkyArtShow #ThirdPlace #wildhorses #horses #EastCoastKin #photographersofbluesky #wildlifephotography #nature #photography

These three foals are siblings. From left to right is a palomino filly, a buckskin colt, and a Cremello colt. The buckskin colt is rearing and was being generally obnoxious. The filly has her ears down showing her annoyance. I named the buckskin colt Stinker and it stuck. He’s still out wandering the wild of Utah, still an obnoxious stinker.

Birdtober Day 1: Lilac-breasted roller I am attempting Birdtober again. 31 birds in 31 days. Watercolor and colored pencil. #birdtober #birdart #illustration #watercolor #birds #naturalscienceillustration #birdtober2026 #art #illustration #birdart #watercolor

This is a watercolor painting of a lilac-breasted ruler, a bird found in Africa. It is the national bird of Botswana and Kenya. The bird sits on a thorny branch.

The number one rule for me participating in Birdtober is I only allow myself one hour to do the painting.

This little lion pony in a maze of gorse is what you get to look at today. How can you not love a Dartmoor Hill Pony? #dartmoornationalpark #becauseponies #ponies #horses #wildlifephotography

This pony reminds me of a lion. A lion would be much bigger. 😂 This pony was hanging out with the pony that was eating the gorse. I love that you can see the hills of Dartmoor in the background. #dartmoornationalpark #becauseponies #ponies #horses #wildlifephotography #photography

Yummy Gorse! A Dartmoor pony’s favorite snack. #becauseponies #dartmoornationalpark #dartmoorpony #wildlifephotography #horses #photography #horsephotography #animalphotography

Yummy Gorse! A Dartmoor pony’s favorite snack. If you’ve been around wild equines, or, in this case, live most of the year as wild, you may have noticed they like thorny food. I guess it’s their version of hot pepper sauce. 🤷‍♀️😂 You can watch the ponies here in Dartmoor stomping on the horse to tenderize it before chewing on it…very, very carefully.

This Dartmoor pony wants to peer into your soul. #photography #animalphotography #horsephotography #wildlifephotography #dartmoorponies #dartmoornationalpark #becauseponies #ponies #horses

A Dartmoor pony stares right into the camera. Dartmoor ponies are bay in coloration.

Getting to this Dartmoor pony took a little bit of balance and endurance. It’s wet. It’s England. Go figure. We were hopping from one tussock to another down the trail for a bit. But to look directly into this pony’s eyes made it all worth it. They can see into your soul, I swear.

There are different designations of Dartmoor ponies. Like Heritage Dartmoor ponies or Pedigree Dartmoor ponies. This pony was some sort of designated Dartmoor pony but I can’t remember. It was eight years ago and I was too busy trying not to fall off a tussock to remember.

I’ve zapped us back to the spring of 2018 with my photographic Time Machine. We are now in Dartmoor National Park hanging out with hill PONIES. Are you excited??? #becauseponies #dartmoornationalpark #ponies #animalphotography #wildlifephotography #horsephotography #photography #nature

Three hill ponies stand in the foreground of this photo taken in the UK’s Dartmoor National Park. They look like Shetland ponies crosses. One is black and white pinto and the other two are gray. Their manes and tales are wild and the ponies are a little muddy.

A scene from Bombay Beach/Salton Sea in California for #BlueSkyArtShow #Summer

One of the art installations along the remnants of the beach in Bombay Beach, California that sits on the ravaged edges of the Salton Sea. Wooden logs stick up from the sand like an abandoned pier. The silhouettes of birds, a fishing pole, and a kayak all help add to that feeling of being at the coast, where the coast is toxic.

An Anna’s Hummingbird in flight and trying to eat a spider or collect a spider’s web for a nest or both. #BirdOfTheDay #WildMotion #bid #birds #hummingbird #annashummingbird #PhotographersOfBlueSky #PhotographersUnited #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin

If you zoom in far enough you can see the tiny spider on this Anna’s Hummingbird’s beak. These hummingbirds will eat small spiders or poach insects off a web. They also use spider silk to anchor their nests to branches The Anna’s hummingbird is in mid-flight with its tongue extended.

A tiny gray and blue jumping spider sits on the edge of the pitcher plant she calls home. This pitcher plant attracts insects that become meals for both this cute little spider and the pitcher plant itself.
