Maine! Ruby Red

Nothing so ruby red
as the leaves of beach rose
in late October
in Southern Maine
along the Bridle Path
back half a mile
from the sea.
If you have seen them
you know I am right!

And now you have seen them. Sony a5100 with Sony E 10-18 f4 wide angle zoom at 15mm equivalent. Superior Auto with Scene Selection Landscape.

Yellowstone! Contentment

American Bison: Slough Creek, Yellowstone National Park, September 2024 — For the most part Bison project contentment. They are eating machines, head down in the grasses 80% of daylight hours…and with their size and weight it takes that to keep them happy…content. That general air of complacency makes their sudden violent outbursts all the more impressive…and makes them as dangerous as they undoubtedly are. I would much rather face a wolf at 20 paces than a bison…and I would never do either intentionally. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii zoom at 600mm equivalent.
