So excited to capture video and images of a neighboring coyote climb to the upper limbs of an apple tree, grab an apple and then make its way down. @danieldietrichphoto I am grateful for your research and writing this story. @baynaturemagazine thank you for featuring it. You can find the story via the link in my bio.

NANPA (North American Nature Photography Association) just announced the winning images for their annual showcase competition. I am honored that my image, “Pandemic Moons” won first place in its category of Altered Reality. Throughout the pandemic I photographed the moon and compiled favorites using Photoshop to create this sphere. My father passed during that time and I feel like I captured our memories of stargazing and marveling at the moon together with this image. 

Thank you NANPA 2024 Showcase organizers and judges for this award and congratulations to all of the incredibly talented photographers that were a part of it.

A Hermit Thrush in the evening light. You'll mostly find them foraging on the ground for insects or in shrubs, but this one posed long enough on my fence for me to snap a pic. They have the sweetest melody of any bird that I've heard - just like a flute!

I often glance out my kitchen window to see what birds or wildlife are around me. I was lucky to spot this beautiful golden-crowned sparrow in the evening light and took a quick photograph through my window.

I watched this beautiful coyote search for voles/gophers and even apples from a tree nearby.

Beautiful Mount Rainier at sunset from the sky. So happy to be looking out the window to capture this beautiful mountain above the clouds. Reminded me how important it is to enjoy the beauty of nature around us wherever we are. Happy New Year everyone!

Looking through some photo archives I came across this one. Although photographed from a very far distance and not super clear, it was a special moment for me seeing a coyote in the early morning light walking along these sand dunes so peacefully.

One of my favorite birds when exploring Mount Diablo. You can't mistaken their laughter-like calls. Acorn woodpeckers depend heavily on acorns and store them in holes like these. They live in family groups and work together to raise their young, gather food, and guard it. 
 For them, it truly takes a village. 😊#woodpecker #acornwoodpecker #birdphotography #birdsofinstagram

That moment before a successful hunt. Love those ear tips! ❤️

I love watching this beautiful hummingbird as he jumps off his favorite perch.

Just strolling through...
Love the variety of wildlife that comes by. This is the first time I have seen a white turkey.
