Good morning.

Lone Mountain is the iconic symbol of Big Sky. The stunning 360-degree view from its summit offers sights of the Spanish Peaks, the Madison Valley, and, on a clear day, even the Teton Mountains. If you're lucky, you might even spot one of the majestic mountain goats that inhabit this area. As reported by The Wilson Hotel Big Sky

Here is a good morning "quacker" for everyone. Taken in Ooltewah Tennessee at a local park. www.photohunter.co

The American Snapping Turtle

Suburban wildlife is quite wild. I have a retaining pond along our backyard fence. The pond is next to a busy road and would be the last place you'd expect wildlife to thrive, but it does. This bullfrog is an example of the amazing creatures in the natural world that surround us every day. The bullfrog suddenly appeared out of nowhere, just staring at me as I took a photo of it floating in the water. The photo was edited in Lightroom. I made the frog stand out more by dehazing the image, adjusting the exposure, sharpening the frog’s face, and adding a touch of color. I enjoy the editing process nearly as much as taking the picture. This bullfrog is a lot of fun!

The Wonderful World of Suburban Wildlife

I was at a friend’s house in Nashville, Tennessee. As I was walking through the front door after taking my dog Bentley for a night walk, a “friend” greeted me. I took this photograph with my iPhone 16 Pro Max (my camera isn't with me). The iPhone's native photography software and hardware are quite good; it’s a great tool for practicing photography, including using its macro feature, which I used to take this photo in low light conditions.

In any event, the iPhone has a role and utility in photography particularly when walking your dog.
