Serene Scissor-tailed Perch
This is a close-up of a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher (Tyrannus forficatus), captured in the picturesque Arkansas Ozark Mountains.
I don't always take great photographs, but when I do, you can find them at:
Pigeons in Black and White
This black and white photograph captures two pigeons in close formation, their wings fully extended in mid-flight. The intricate details of their feathers and their synchronized movement create a sculptural quality, prompting some viewers to liken the image to a finely crafted statue. The harmonious balance of the birds against the minimalist backdrop evokes a sense of elegance and timeless beauty.
I never overlook pigeons in my photographic journey; in fact, I find joy in watching them perform their graceful dance across the sky. Explore my photo gallery at:

Sketching some of my favorite birds, ravens and crows! I used my favorite fude nib fountain pen, the Jinhao 159.
Rust-Colored Songbird
"This is a brown thrasher (Toxostoma rufum) perched gracefully on a tree limb. Its vivid yellow eyes stand out, adding an intensity to its watchful expression, while its rich reddish-brown plumage and streaked underparts highlight its striking appearance. Truly a captivating glimpse of this fascinating songbird!

Good morning.
26 March 2025
I really need to get off my proverbial couch and start being productive, but I just don't feel like it. I wonder if Maslow ever considered a scenario where wants take precedence over needs. For instance, when someone gets paid at the end of the week, should they prioritize buying food or upgrading to a new cellphone? Surprisingly, the choice often falls on the cellphone. In today's world of constant connectivity, one could argue that a cellphone qualifies as a necessity, though perhaps not as fundamental as food. Meanwhile, there are many in the United States whose most basic needs—food and shelter—remain unmet, forcing them to struggle daily. As the saying goes, "There but for the grace of God, go I."
“It isn't normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.” -Abraham Maslow

Yellow-Tipped Wonders
I photographed these cedar waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) about 15 minutes ago. They visit this same tree every year—well, maybe not these exact birds, but you get the idea. The tree is located to the west, and they tend to perch high up, making raw photographs appear as silhouettes. To reveal the vibrant colors of the birds, I usually lighten the images a bit.
