Scott KissingerThis one at the National Aviary was posted up on a log like it was posing for a portrait. Sometimes the quieter birds make the best subjects.
If this tiny moment caught your eye, pass it along.
Art in Public Places installation at Roosevelt Park in Longmont. Blue circles, strong shadows, and a 40mm at f/2 to soften the background.
A quick pause can reveal a lot.
First crocuses of the season — purple petals and orange stamens pushing through the rocks. Spring doesn’t ask permission.
The closer you look, the more there is to see.
Fence post near La Veta — old enough to split and twist into its own shape. Barbed wire holding on, Spanish Peak going soft behind it.
Sometimes the smallest subjects hold the most detail.
One PPG Place in Pittsburgh — 40 stories of neo-Gothic glass by Philip Johnson. My son spotted that I was off-center and guided me to the right line.
Cities always reward a second look.
Flamingo at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh. Walked right up. No zoom needed — just pure confidence and zero personal space.
Nature always has another story waiting.
Portal Bridge at Point State Park in Pittsburgh. Repeating arches and curves — pure geometry. Had to shoot it in black and white.
A quick pause can reveal a lot.
Bull moose bedded down in the willows below the Alpine Visitor Center in RMNP. Those antlers are hard to miss, even from the road.
Wild moments like this are why I keep the camera ready.
F/A-18 Super Hornet banking overhead at the Great Colorado Air Show. The wear and exhaust staining on the underside tell their own story.
If you know an aviation nerd, send this their way.
Fence post near La Veta — picked an angle to isolate one of the Spanish Peaks in the background. Sharp up close, soft in the distance.
The quiet details are always worth noticing.
