Light as a feather,
and yet it come down quite hard,
the flow carries off.

A minimalist black and white photograph of a single, delicate white feather floating on a deep black, gently rippling water surface. The feather reflects perfectly downward in the calm water, creating a symmetrical image full of stillness, solitude, and soft melancholy.

One of my favorite images of Livingston, #Montana.

Coincidentally, I am photographing a property from almost this exact spot next week. Almost the entire town is captured in this image.

I think about pulling out the spreading plant all the time and then it flowers. Small-leaf spiderwart.

The foliage is in full swing in some parts of the state, but Mt.Auburn cemetery is just warming up.

My cousin has a few of these lovely chickens. What a face! 🐔🐣✨

📸🌿🐥

A close-up photograph of a chicken with a serious, almost stern gaze. Its head is a rich buff and brown color, with the characteristic bare red skin around its yellow and black eye, and a distinct comb and wattles. Its feathers feature intricate patterns of darker bars. The background is softly blurred with tones of green, beige, and a patch of blue.
