📸 Incoming! Northern Gannets: nature’s feathered missiles. Fast, focused, and always looking like they’ve got somewhere very important to be. Caught this one mid-flight while visiting a huge colony in northern Iceland. Pro tip: tryin
📸 Puffin incoming! This little Atlantic Puffin was on final approach after a successful fishing trip off the coast of Iceland. And yes, that’s a beak full of sand eels. Watching them land is part bird ballet, part organized chaos and someho

Some days you bloom. Other days you just… lean. Made this macro image of (what I think is) a daisy, but let’s be honest, I’m a photographer, not a botanist. Either way, this flower perfectly captured my mood today...a little tire

We often get asked how close we get to the puffins in Iceland. Well, sometimes they get really close. 😅. This photo was a happy accident. I was tracking the puffin when Mr. Cell Phone happened to be in the flight path. At least the puffin brought
Just out here trying to enjoy a midnight snack when some guy shows up with a camera, rambling about “perfect golden light.” 🙄 Normally, I avoid photographing horses with their heads down (nobody looks their best mid-munch) but this scen
