Lately, I feel like I’m either constantly buzzin

Lately, I feel like I’m either constantly buzzing from one thing to the next, barely catching my breath, or so drained that I’ve got no motivation to get moving.

I try to spend as much time in nature as I can, but that’s not as easy as it sounds most days. On the days I do manage to go into the outside, though, it reminds me that life doesn’t have to be this mad race we’re all running. (Though I hate how quickly we forget this bit)

I reallllllly want to try slowing down more - and even that feels so strange to me since this isn’t something I usually struggle with. But watching this bee in his ‘stop and smell the flowers’ moment was a nice little reminder of how much there is to gain by turning down the pace a notch, and being fully present. (Or at least trying to)

Am I alone in this?
Is anyone else trying to find a slower pace these days?
If yes, I’d love to hear how you’ve been getting on.

Fall in full swing 🍂

The changing leaves along Hamilton’s waterfront with angry clouds rolling in, creating the perfect mix of calm and chaos.

Nature’s transition is always breathtaking from above. It’s a reminder that even though change can be difficult, it can also be beautiful. 🌿

Maybe there’s a lesson here for me too - finding peace in what I am and letting go of what no longer serves me.

Ever wonder what it would be like if these guys were huge? Like, bigger than humans huge? They already give off that ‘I’m watching you’ vibe, but if they were any bigger, I’d probably have to reconsider my love for birdwatching. Would I still find them majestic if there was a chance they’d swoop in for a snack? Probably not… but hey, I do love a good thrill!

Nature’s little surprises. Spotted this shy beauty hiding among the tall grasses. It’s amazing how much life is out there if you just take a moment to pause and look closely. 🐦🍃

Here are some photos from my latest stroll 🍂

I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather this week, so l haven’t been out much. But I did enjoy a peaceful walk yesterday where I was able to snap these close-up shots of fall.🍁

Hopefully, next week brings more time outside.

Last night, I witnessed the Aurora Borealis for the first time ever, and I didn’t even need to travel more than 5 minutes from home. Honestly , it was nothing short of magical. 🌌

This phenomenon, also known as the Northern Lights, occurs when charged particles from the sun collide with Earth’s magnetic field. These particles interact with gases like oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere, creating these vibrant, dancing lights in the sky.

The colors you see—greens, purples, and pinks—depend on the type of gas and the altitude of the interactions.

Seeing this in person was surreal, and though this wasn’t planned at all, I’m so glad I could capture it! And I’m super grateful to my friend @annarm90 for encouraging me to go out and try to see it. ✨ #AuroraBorealis #NorthernLights

Check out this beauty! I got this shot of a green vine snake during my time working in the jungle in Guyana! The last image shows my work site where I lived for many years!

Scorpions like this one can be found all over the $Scorpions like this one can be found all over the world, including the rainforests of Guyana where I snapped this shot. It’s wild that there are over 1,500 species of scorpions! While many have venom, only a small fraction pose serious risks to humans. In regions like this, species can range from mildly venomous to those with potent stings. Most stings cause more pain than harm, but nature always keeps you on your toes with its variety of survival strategies! Have you ever encountered a scorpion in the wild? #insectphotography #insect #insectinstagram #scorpion #scorpions #scorpionking #macro #closeupphotography #guyanawild$

I’ve been learning all about birds lately, so on

I’ve been learning all about birds lately, so on the off chance that you’re also interested, here’s what I learned about the Eastern Kingbird (badass name btw) photographed here.

First off, these sleek birds with a bold black-and-white pattern aggressively defends its airspace. These birds take on everything from hawks to crows if they come too close to their nest. ⁣

🌳 Habitat
Eastern Kingbirds thrive in open spaces with scattered trees. You’ll find them along forest edges, in fields, orchards, and near water bodies like rivers and ponds. They’re widespread across North America in the summer, before heading down to South America for winter.

🦟 Behavior
These little aerial acrobats are incredible at catching insects mid-flight! They perch high up on branches or wires, waiting for the perfect moment to swoop in for a snack. Fun fact: despite their aggressive nature during breeding season, they form peaceful flocks during migration!

🍽️ Diet
Insects are their go-to meal, especially flies, bees, and wasps. They’ll also eat fruits like berries later in the summer, making them a little more omnivorous than you might expect.

Ok, that’s it for todays lesson 🙂

Have you seen one of these bold birds in your area? Let me know in the comments! 🖤🤍
