Hi guys! I'm a professional artist dipping my toes into the fediverse.

I'm already a bit nervous to start, but I managed to learn the basics of servers on Mastodon and have chosen one that I think is neat!

I'm really interested in expanding my fediverse experience so, if you have any tips or apps to recommend for someone who loves art, nature and the news, don't be shy to let me know!

To the pleasure of meeting all of you! :)

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone, I am blown away!

This photo was taken on a recent trip that included #KranjskaGora in #Slovenia. Slemenova Špica was probably my favorite hike of the trip. We had just finished climbing up the initial steep hill in deep fog only for this scene to reveal itself as a reward. Sometimes you make a photograph and other times #nature gives it to you. What a beautiful country!

A black and white image of a tree (Slovenian Pine?) standing out in the center against a foggy forest. The fog is forming a fogbow arching over the scene. A fogbow is a lot like a rainbow but looks colourless and forms in fog. I've only ever seen three!


Here is a globular springtail (around 2 or 3mm in size) floating on water and cleaning themselves with a water droplet. They use the water droplet to clean but also to moisten their skin as a way to retain water. As they are so small, losing too much water from their body is a danger. They are often found in damp and moist environments. This one was filmed in my garden a couple of days ago on a barrel which had filmed with rainwater.

Berlins #Stadtnatur zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass hier Vogelarten leicht zu beobachten sind, die ansonsten sehr scheu sind. Dazu zählt der #Habicht, der jetzt aktuell in der #Balz steckt. Durch seine Kontaktrufe & den kahlen Bäumen, ist er leicht zu entdecken. Beispielsweise im #Tiergarten in #Berlin #Mitte. Hier gibts den Ruf zum Hören und so sieht er aus:

It's an interesting exercise posting an #introduction I'm here because increasingly I am seeing traditional social media become anti-social media.

I miss the days of ICQ and to a lesser extent MSN Messenger. I also miss the original IRC and the joy people had of even having the opportunity to be online and connect. Hopefully we can rediscover that joy of connection in new places.

I'm a #photographer so you can expect that from me on my profiles. Thanks for reading!

A landscape photograph of the Florentine forest of Tasmania showing trees reaching up in the foreground and mountain vistas in the distance. In the sky black cockatoos are returning home for the evening. The image reveals fire damage, with large areas on the distant hills scorched by fire, and trees in the foreground in the lower right turning orange and red as leaves die from fire damage.


I made a peertube account to post videos of my plein air painting sessions in the mountains if anyone is interested

I took this photo last September. Fall was almost there but still summer wanted to stay a little bit more. She's a bear hanging around with her cubs in a prairie at the very last moment of the sun and I like how she looks peaceful. Beautiful bear, isn't it ?

How I took this photo ? Canon R3 EF500 mm usm II 1/1250e f5,6 Iso 1600 Manual Raw No filter Not AI Natural light.

J'ai pris cette photo en septembre dernier. L'automne était presque là mais l'été voulait encore rester un peu plus longtemps. C'est une ourse qui traîne avec ses petits dans une prairie aux derniers feux du soleil et j'aime son air paisible. Magnifique ours, n'est-ce pas ?

On the picture you see a brown bear sitting looking up in the last raylights of the day. Everything is yellow because of the low sun.


This is one of my favorite shots of all time. Taken in 2020 at Allegheny State Park in NY. It's not often I get to photograph the sunrise but I couldn't have been happier with this one.

There is an entomology article from 1987 titled

"An Apparent Lowering of Moral Standards in the Lepidoptera"

It's about same-sex activities among butteflies.

I think this one has a lot of potential mileage. Punk rock band names? Queer Regency romance novel titles? Fictional Victorian gang names?

I just went through my #photos from yesterday and - unfortunately - none of them REALLY worked out the way I wanted. I somehow knew it already on location because it's a difficult season:

The snow melting and leaving a lot of brown patches, a clear blue sky with lots of sun, which is nice for me to see - but not for a cool photo. - BUT it was a good hike, that's what I have to keep repeating to myself

Thought I'd write an #Introduction. I'm a writer who loves to draw and make things. I find joy in nature and in making everyday observations. I'm a fan of #AnneofGreenGables, and I'm always looking for kindred spirits.

I Told You We Should Have Left Earlier

This pair of house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) appear to be interacting. It seems all the spots at the bird feeder might be taken.

Searching for finches? Check out my photo gallery at:

"The image shows a lovely pair of house finches perched on a curved metal bar. One of the finches has brown and white streaked plumage, while the other has a striking red head and chest with a brown and white streaked body. The blurred background draws your attention directly to these beautiful birds, making them the focal point of the photo.

Crested Tit

Taking flight, after pecking out a decent sized chunk of a peanut out, to eat elsewhere.

"Nature" is an interdependent system of autonomous things.

You would think we could learn something from that.

Not least that both go together.

Australia has a reputation for dangerous animals.

Here's a Pademelon. They can be skittish when they zoom off and can bump into your shins if you're in their way 😅

#tasmania #lutruwita #marsupial #animals #nature
A small wallaby like marsupial called a Pademelon. It has a short tail and rounded ears, which are sticking up in the photo. It is hunched over forward picking at the vegetation. It has greyish brown fur


I was fortunate to see whooping cranes for the first time recently. As the sun was setting, three took to the air, circled, passed right overhead, and honked--close enough to hear their wing beats.

In the 1980s, my biology professor used them as an example of a species about to go extinct--he wasn't optimistic as to their fate. By 1860, their numbers had dropped to 1400. By 1942, there were 16--all in one Texas population. Today, there are ~536 in Texas and ~800 total.

Just three snaps from my hike today. I didn't want to try anything new to be honest. So I just went for this summit. The views were great, especially with the fog down there.

It hasn't snowed for a while, that's why there are a LOT of brown patches of grass around. Not really great for nice #photos to be honest. But it nice to get out and have some exercise.

Oh and I was SUPER happy about my spikes. Some parts were just ice.

Feathered Sunshine

This charming male American goldfinch (Spinus tristis) made a visit to my backyard this morning, joining a lively group of others

"When Brown-headed Cowbirds lay eggs in an American Goldfinch nest, the cowbird egg may hatch but the nestling seldom survives longer than three days. The cowbird chick simply can’t survive on the all-seed diet that goldfinches feed their young." - allaboutbirds.org

"The image shows a goldfinch perched on a black metal shepherd's hook. The goldfinch has a bright yellow head and underparts, with a black cap on the top of its head. The wings are black with white markings, and the back is a mix of yellow and olive green. The bird's black beak is short and conical, typical of finches. The background is blurred, highlighting the bird as the main subject of the photograph. The image is signed "© Swede's Photographs" in the bottom right corner." - Copilot with edits


Since I started as a photographer, I have always loved silhouettes, the low light of the evening or morning. I love these atmospheres. During a recent trip to Finland, I had the immense privilege of meeting this mother bear just before nightfall. For me, it was such an unforgettable moment.

How I did this photo ? Canon R3 EF500 mm f/4 II usm 1/1600e f5,6 Iso 1600

Depuis que j'ai commencé à photographier, j'ai toujours aimé les silhouettes, les lumières rasantes du soir ou du matin. Les contres et frisants. J'adore ces ambiances. Lors d'un récent voyage en Finlande, j'ai eu l'immense privilège de rencontrer cette maman ourse juste avant la tombée de la nuit. Pour moi, ce fut un moment inoubliable.

Awesome to write a Lie of the Land feature for #outdoorphotography Magazine in their latest issue 314, including a lovely double spread of my image Pine and Birch, Ancient Caledonian Forest.
