Following #hashtags has been a real game changer for me. My feed is now peppered with amazing airplanes (#avgeek), interesting animals (#wildlifephotgraphy), and information about places that interest me (#nola #ecuador) #MastodonTips

I got a new camera and went away for the weekend. I was walking around because my mom suggested I take a picture of the sunset. As I was walking closer to get a better view, I heard something... It sounded like a rodent, and I knew there were groundhogs nearby, so I followed it. Turns out, it was a young porcupine! #CanonR7 with 24-105 f4, turned out to be more like 168mm with the cropped sensor, so that's still pretty close. #porcupine #photography #wildlifephotgraphy

Last day of work. Cheers to retirement, more birding, and taking off on new adventures. #solaceinnature #birds #birding #birdnerds #roseatespoonbill #freedom #mastodonwildlife #wildlifephotgraphy #creationstruck

A young Silver Garden Spider (Argiope argentata) most likely. When I shot this, the entire stabilimentum (the decorative part of the web) was smaller than a dime, about 12mm by 9mm. The spider's body is 3mm long, about the size of Roosevelt's nose on a dime. The body of an adult female would be around 12mm with long legs. #spider #macro #macrophotgraphy #arachnid #wildlifephotgraphy
