I made a blind on our side of the bay because I've had so many birds take off as I approached in the past. It's paid dividends in being able to watch the birds and animals in secret.

The eaglets are out of their nest. There are two this year and last year's juvenile is still hanging around the lake. I wonder how many will stay. (infosec.pub)

Telephoto Polarizing Filter Saved my Lens (infosec.pub)

I just installed a polarizing lens filter on my 150-600mm telephoto lens last week. This week, I was photographing birds by boat when my camera strap slipped off my shoulder and fell to the deck, lens first. I tried the camera out, and it seemed to be shooting fine, despite the cracks.

I just got home and took off the filter and the lens is fine! My relief is palpable. If you have been putting off adding a filter to your expensive lenses, I really recommend it.

During the pandemic I started taking photos of the snails in my yard, and now I'm making the jump to Pixelfed. I think this is my favorite shot so far.

What a beautiful creature! I always love when I cross paths with a snapping turtle.

Newly emerged. Landed on some netting while I was gardening, seems to be settled in for the night.
