Crimson Crown

This is a male ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris). I believe I captured this photo earlier this morning—though I could check the image properties to confirm, laziness prevails. The vibrant red feathers on its throat always remind me of plate armor, perhaps resembling a gorget.

"The image beautifully captures a ruby-throated hummingbird mid-flight, showcasing its agile movement and vibrant plumage. The hummingbird's body gleams with bright green feathers, while its throat boasts a striking ruby-red patch bordered by white. The wings, gracefully blurred, reflect the rapid motion typical of these energetic birds. The background features soft white tones, with accents of red and gray, drawing attention to the hummingbird's elegance." - Copilot

White Wings Unfurled

This morning, the boys—Ben and Charlie, my dogs—and I were out for a walk when I paused to photograph a small bird perched in a tall, dead tree across an open field. While focusing on the bird, I noticed a great egret (Ardea alba) flying towards me. Quickly shifting my attention, I began snapping pictures. The egret soared directly overhead, giving me the chance to capture this breathtaking shot.

"This image captures a great egret in flight, soaring directly overhead against a vibrant blue sky. The bird's long, graceful wings are fully extended, revealing intricate feather patterns. Its slender neck is slightly curved, leading to a sharp, yellow-orange beak. The egret's pristine white plumage contrasts beautifully with the sky, and its black legs trail elegantly behind as it glides effortlessly. The photograph exudes serenity and highlights the bird's majestic presence in mid-flight." - Copilot

Good morning. 😴⏰☕

17 April 2025

Coffee, anyone? Morning rituals are sacred, and making coffee tops my list right after waking up. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. It’s a habit, though not necessarily a neurologic one—or maybe it is, now that I’ve looked up the definition! What I meant to say is that it’s not really an addictive habit. If coffee isn’t an option, I just go about my day—albeit stumbling into walls and tripping over dogs. Coffee is supposed to be an eye-opener, and it definitely earns that title, considering I have to open my eyes just enough to ensure the cup’s lip meets my lips. I usually savor my first cup while greeting you with a cheerful “Good morning!” And now? It’s time for round two.

"What goes best with a cup of coffee? Another cup." - Henry Rollins

Nature's Quiet Motion The image showcases a peaceful scene where tall, golden-brown grass stretches into the foreground, gently swaying in the breeze. Beyond the grass lies a shimmering body of water, exuding tranquility. Adding a hint of movement to the serene setting, a white bird in flight cuts across the water's surface. The blurred background gives the image a dreamy and ethereal quality, blending warm, earthy tones with cool blues.
