CIRCLE WITH A DOT

People hate it when I take pictures of them with food in their mouth. I don't think this pair of house finches minded one bit. Clifton, Virginia, USA 30JAN2026. #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

There is a lot of hardship, hunger, and suffering in the world -- but not for this #squirrel -- not after discovering an unlimited buffet of seeds on my deck railing. Special thanks to @paulk for the tip for circumventing Mastodon's image size limit. #nature #naturephotography

The blue sky reflected in the background sky contrasted with the barn red of the deck railing, combined with some interesting big shapes and diagonals add interest to this photo of a house finch devouring bird seeds. That's my opinion, CCs welcome! #photography #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

What's a good way to shrink large hi-res #photos so they can be posted directly on #Mastodon, I have the full Adobe Photography Suite, Topaz, and whatever comes with Win 11. Yes, I have tried hosting the photo elsewhere and posting the link. Those posts get almost zero visibility. #photography #fediverse #tools
