    I am reprising these images because they've just b I am reprising these images because they've just been honored by @sharetheviewcontest, an international competition that attracted a record 2,646 entries. The Red-Fox kit and hunting Short-Eared Owl made the top 250 and another nine of my images advanced to the last round (semifinals). Last year, my Great Blue Heron and Vole made the top 100. I continue to be indebted to the master, @tinmanlee, who helped unlock something inside of me last year. He is a visionary and continues to be so generous with his time and wisdom. I've also been inspired by my work last year with @seattleaudubon. Both of these images were captured in western Washington state, following my organization's path to inclusion through nearby nature. It's probably no coincidence that both images were taken with the #NikonZ9. The most recent of the shortie on the hunt was captured with the fabulous Z800mm lens. #NikonNoFilter #DiversifyOutdoors #OutdoorsForAll #wildlifephotography #sharetheview

He was so famous that, when I went down to Los Angeles a few years ago to report a story on nature education, all the kids knew him. In this way, he did unimaginable good for wildlife awareness and conservation. Here's hoping his passing moves the needle firmly on safe passage across freeways which he crossed one time too many. #santamonicamountains #celebritycats #wildlife #outdoorsforall #diversifyoutdoors 📷: @nationalparkservice
