Relentless posting into the void. I looked into the abyss, and it looked into me, and now we share memes. Nikon nature + landscape photographer based in Toronto, Canada. All photos © Thomas Boldt.
it is shockingly easy to allow the mundane routines of daily existence to wear away your desire to explore and wonder at the world. guard your heart against this at all cost.
Pretty River Provincial Park in #Ontario, #Canada i could be happy forever mucking about with a bunch of little waterfalls, camera or no. and it's full of brook trout! #nature #naturephotography #landscapephotography #waterfallwednesday #scape #eck #forestfriday
i'm really disappointed that i haven't seen any 'drain the swamp' jokes about the reflecting pool
This flowering tree just kept on giving: food for lots of birds and photos for me, including an entire flock of waxwings having a flower petal snack. #birdphotography #birdsseenin2026 #toronto #nature #naturephotography #eck #flyday
I was lucky to find this Northern yellow warbler #nesting in some treetop #flowers for today's #BirdoftheDay! #birdphotography #nature #toronto #bloomscrolling #coloraday #yellowthu #eck #eastcoastkin #birdsseenin2026
Whatcha doin' over here? 👀 I post a lot of Northern yellow warblers (Setophaga aestiva), partly because they're among the first songbirds to return in #Spring, but also because they're so bright and cute and expressive. #birdphotography #nature #toronto #coloraday #yellowthu #springmigration #eck
I'm feeling a bit fuzzy today, but this female Ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) was a bright little go-getter. Maybe I should follow her example & try drinking *my* weight in nectar... ...or maybe just another cup of coffee. #birdphotography #birdsseenin2026 #nature #toronto #eck
This cute little Magnolia warbler (Setophaga magnolia) gives me the feathery eyeball from the underbrush. Another of this year's proper first sightings - if only that blocking twig was removed! #birdphotography #birdsseenin2026 #nature #toronto #springmigration #eck #animalarttuesday
It's always a touch disconcerting when a bloody predator stops eating and starts #LookingAtYou - even if you're pretty confident you would win the fight. But apparently 20+ million Americans believe they could beat a grizzly bear while unarmed, so 😅 #BirdOfTheDay #birdphotography #nature #toronto
This male Northern yellow warbler claims it isn't *really* having a #BadFeatherDay - it's a 'dynamically adjustable fashion modality' and ugh, you just don't understand it, rude humans. #BirdoftheDay #LMNOP #birdphotography #naturephotography #eastcoastkin #toronto #coloraday #yellowthu #eck
The alt #BirdoftheDay theme is #Green, and fortunately I just found a female Ruby-throated hummingbird sipping nectar at the top of a flowering tree! 1/20000th of a second was more than enough to see her wings mid-beat =) #birdphotography #naturephotography #toronto #springmigration #birdwatching
Who needs Doordash? For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #FoodInBeaks, this little Yellow-rumped warbler (Setophaga coronata) is about to grab a flying snack right out of the air. #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #nature #eck #BirdWatching
Sometimes, It’s Just Not Your Day: A Tragicomedy in Three Acts starring A Baltimore Oriole (he was fine after, don’t worry!) #birdphotography #animalarttuesday #flyday #naturephotography #eck #toronto #springmigration
This image doesn't rely on the #reflection too much, but I still like this one for today's #BirdoftheDay. This Great egret chose the healthy option for its fish lunch: salad instead of fries. #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #toronto #naturephotography
For today's #BirdoftheDay alt theme, #solitude, I present a tiny American kestrel all alone at the top of a tree, thinking deep thoughts. #birdphotography #nature #wildlifephotography #eck #flyday
Suddenly, a wild snack appears! Northern yellow warblers are fast enough to catch these tiny midges in mid-air, but it's usually easier to grab them off the nearby foliage. #coloraday #yellowthu #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #eck
So you may have heard about the Enhanced Games, but this Northern yellow warbler would beat any of them in the strength-to-weight-ratio hurdles (10cm category) Northern yellow warbler, current local champion, 10cm hurdles (Setophaga aestiva) #birdphotography #birds #photographersunited #eck
Quite a few 'first ever' sightings for me during this year's spring migration! This Cape May warbler was very cooperative (and hungry!), instead of staying in the brush like its friends. #birdphotography #birds #nature #wildlifephotography #spring #migration #animalarttuesday #eck #birdoftheday
A Northern yellow warbler hunts through some pink crabapple blossoms for tasty insect snacks. #coloraday #pinkmon #bloomscrolling #naturephotography #eck #birdphotography
A little Northern yellow warbler perches within a wire fence and provides a nice pop of colour for #BirdOnAWire, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme. #birdphotography #naturephotography #cute
tree swallow feeding time! the size of the barbs near this #BirdOnAWire shot for #BirdOfTheDay really show how tiny these little guys are! #birdphotography #nature #breakfast
L. Bob Rife laughs. "Y'know, watching government regulators trying to keep up with the world is my favorite sport. Remember when they busted up Ma Bell?" "Just barely." The reporter is a woman in her twenties.
Double-crested cormorants (Nannopterum auritum) look like unassuming black birds from a distance, but when you get up close for #Headshots, you can see the incredible bright blue in their eyes. The inside of the beak is the same ridiculous neon blue! #BirdoftheDay #birdphotography #nature #eck
if Sam Altman wants me to do it i know it is in my best interests not to do it if Jared Leto wants me to do it i know it is in my best interests not to do it so for them to team up---
Let me take a look at today's totally normal headlines. sfstandard.com/2026/05/21/j...
goodnight, moon waxing crescent, 34% illuminated tonight in #Toronto (taken with a Nikon 180-600 @ 600mm) #moon #astrophotography
Perfectly Normal Bird Stuff: Nesting Edition Northern yellow warblers (Setophaga aestiva) often weave spiderweb into their nests, but it looks like a difficult material to work with! #birdphotography #naturephotography #nature #eck #coloraday #yellowthu
The sunset over Toronto from May 5th. I think this might be the best sunset of the year - at least so far! It was intensely colourful, even before the CN Tower started glowing red. #scape #toronto #coloraday #redwed #landscape #cityscape
