Second ArtFight attack! This one's for @chemb0t.bsky.social of his foxo Dack and robo-buddy GEM! Dunno how I completed this piece in less than two days, but I somehow pulled it off! And I'm elated with how it turned out! #ArtFight #fox #PowerStar #traditionaldrawing #traditionalart #coloredpencils
My very first ArtFight attack! This one's for @therealmerbirb.bsky.social ! Objection! #dragon #objection #aceattorney #artfight #traditionalart
I await results of my essay component. A 4 or better and I will have a math teaching license ^_^
Representing my two favorite sports teams! Also, maybe the most comfy hat I've ever worn.
Here's my first really good photo of an osprey (Pandion haliaetus) that I took this past weekend! Super happy with how it turned out! #birds #birdphotography #osprey #wisconsinbirds
Went golfing on Wednesday and played my first 18-hole round of the year! Despite two quadruple bogeys, I shot an 88 (+16) and broke 90 for the first time since 2024!
Grackle! Rare visit to the deck railing, and the camera was ready! #birdphotography #wisconsinbirds #grackle
Here's that picture of a Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) that I got last week! #birds #birdphotography #wisconsinbirds
A little birthday present for @zaxxa13.bsky.social! Here's his derg doing a signature peace sign archer pose! 💪 #dragon #bodybuilder #sketch #furry #furryart #scalie #musclefur #gymfur
Hybrid Prince. Wow. Absolutely enthralling read. I don't know how Tui keeps doing this. #wingsoffire
It's been a year and a half, but I have finally finished another artwork! Featuring my derg OC, Harmony, and @deltaphile.bsky.social ! Had a lot of fun working on this piece! #artwork #art #traditional-art #drawing
Sketch done. Lineart done. Coloring in the works. Can't wait to show the finished product!
Getting back into drawing has to be one of the best decisions I've made in recent times. Relaxing, yet engaging. Oh, and VERY rewarding.
Saw my very first purple finch! So excited! Picture from 02/02/2026.
Just got perhaps my best shot of my favorite bird species (blue jay, Cyanocitta cristata)! Taken at my house, December 3rd, 2025.
Here's a photo of a Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) that I snagged at Otter Lake on Sunday! Such a beautiful bird! #greatblueheron #birdphotography #bird #nature #wisconsin #birdwatching
A family of Canadian geese at the Vlonderpad just outside of Sint Jansklooster, NL! #birds #birdphotography #nature #canadagoose
I'm back with more bird photos! Today, we have an American Robin, Wisconsin's state bird! Taken with my recently-acquired TAMRON 75-300mm! #birds #nature #birdphotography #americanrobin
I just bought a new camera lens! Very similar to my other long one, a TAMRON, but it's a 75-300 now. Also doesn't have the macro feature, but I can live without that. Should be here sometime in the next five days, and I can't wait to actually have good photos again!
Ah, one cute little bird we have here! White-crowned sparrow! #birds #photography #wildlife #birdphotography
More photos! Here we have a Eurasian jackdaw (Coloeus monedula) that I saw in Amersfoort.
Continuing with my posts of pictures from the Netherlands trip, we have a picture of a mute swan (Cygnus olor) that I took in Giethoorn. So elegant! #birds #birdphotography #netherlands
Cleaning up my bedroom, and boy, did I need it. Tired of stepping over stuff lol
Time to begin posting some of the several thousand photos I took during my trip to the Netherlands! This one is of a common buzzard (Buteo buteo) that I took with manual focus, and it's only by sheer luck that this photo is in focus at all. #nature #birds #birdphotography #netherlands
One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds
