  Still can't believe my luck! First visit to Madera Canyon and I saw a Coppery-tailed Trogon!! 😍 #birding #maderacanyon #BirdWatching #arizona #BirdPhotogaphy #birdsofmastodon

  Finally finished up a lino that I originally started in 2024. Quite pleased with the outcome, even if it did take 2 years... #linocut #linocutprint #roadrunner #ArtPrints #MastoArt #FediArt #southwest

  Meep! Meep! Celebrated our 8th Anniversary with @mostol over the weekend by renting an expensive lens and trying to see if either of us have good prospects working for Nat Geo in the event our current careers don't work out. Of course, holding the lens still, keeping it in focus, and zooming all while two road runners are effortlessly weaving between rocks and shrubbery is damn near impossible so this is the best we got. Wiley E. Coyote, I feel your pain. #arizona #roadrunner #bird...

  @weirdmustard @mostol yeah, they've got some gorgeous iridescence to them!

  Just some happy lil dudes munching some sunflower seeds. :) There are feral populations of these rosy-faced lovebirds around Phoenix and from what I've been able to find in terms of research, they don't seem to be having any negative impact on the native species. #birdsofmaston #phoenix #lovebirds #arizona #birding

  Discovered two days ago that the Windsor & Newton Winton line of oil paints are actually student-grade. 🥴 So I suppose I'll be slowly transitioning over to more professional-grade paints. Any recommendations for brands you love are welcomed.

  I've got 4 paintings currently in the works, but in the meantime, here is a cool picture of a butterfly I took yesterday! #butterfly #boycethompsonarboretum #photography

  Went out looking for a barn owl, ended up finding great horned owl fledglings instead! They still have baby fuzz on their face and the tiniest makings of "horns." There were 3 total; I'm not sure if mama was one of them or if was 3 young'uns but wow! #phoenix #arizona #sonorandesert #greathornedowl #owls #BirdWatching #birding

  First loaf in months! Shoutout to @jasaz for suggesting my starter's new name: Doughphelia!

  Saw something today I've never seen before! A Western screech owl tucked away in their little cactus home! So pleased I was able to get a couple decent photos of it. #sonorandesert #phoenix #arizona #saguaro #owl #birding #westernscreechowl

  It's that time of year! 🌼 Some fun saguaro facts: - Saguaros do not begin blooming until they are at least 30-35 years old - Each flower is only open for 18-24 hours - Saguaros appear to flower in a counter-clockwise direction, with buds first appearing on the east side, then the north, and then the west #arizona #phoenix #sonorandesert #bloomscrolling #saguaro #cactus #CactusBlossom #flowers
