Well, hello there little friend! #wildlife #wildlifephotography #backyardwildlife #nature #squirrel #sonyalpha #sonya7IV

A sharply focused photograph of a squirrel peeking around the right side of a heavily textured tree trunk. The squirrel has a greyish-brown face and back, with prominent fluffy orange fur on its chest and belly. One paw is visible gripping the bark. The squirrel is looking directly at the viewer. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blend of bright greens, yellows, and whites. There is a watermark in the bottom left corner that reads "Nick Chill PHOTOGRAPHY".

During a beautiful trip to Leadville, Colorado I was able to capture this aerial panoramic of Clinton Gulch Dam Reservoir. You can see Bartlett Mountain to the right and Quandary Peak to the left. #Colorado #coloradophotography #landscapephotography #mountains #aerialphotography #Drone #djimavic

An aerial panoramic view looking down a vast mountain valley under a bright blue sky with light, wispy clouds. In the foreground, the deep blue water of Clinton Gulch Dam Reservoir sits at the base of the valley. Dense pine forests cover the steep slopes on either side of the reservoir. In the background, rugged alpine peaks rise above the treeline with patches of snow; the sharp peak of Quandary Peak stands on the left, while the rounded, snow-streaked slopes of Bartlett Mountain are visible on the right.

Sunset light on "chicken-of-the-woods" mushroom. Laetiporus sulphureus is a type of bracket #fungus which grow on trees. Taken in Backbone #StatePark, Dundee, #Iowa. (2025) 📷 #SonyAlpha a7IV 🛜 See the 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆 feed #nature #naturephotography #naturephotographer #plants #publiclands

A vertical photograph showing a cluster of pale yellow, shelf-like fungi, a type of bracket fungus or polypore known as "chicken-of-the-woods", growing on the side of a large, dark tree trunk in a forest.

The fungi are illuminated by a warm, golden light—possibly the setting or rising sun—that seems to be shining into a crevice or cavity in the bark, making the mushrooms glow brightly against the shadowed wood.

The surrounding forest environment is softly blurred in the background, with dark green foliage and some lighter green leaves (possibly maple) visible in the foreground and to the right. The contrast between the bright, warm-toned fungi and the dark, textured bark and shadows is strong.

A photo of a marshy river scene, with a dozen tundra swans in the water at the bottom of the frame, backed by a sticky, tree-lined land partition, behind which you can see more water. In the upper half of the frame are 7 swans flying straight toward the camera, spread across the frame from left to right in a near perfect line, with wings spread at varying angles.

I had an absolutely amazing time with this family portrait session. These folks were full of energy and so much fun. We couldn't have asked for better weather, with the fall colors complimenting their fantastic wardrobe choices. #fallcolor #fallportraits #portraitphotography #photography #portrait

A portrait of three brothers of various ages standing on a weathered wooden dock. The oldest boy, tall with dark hair, wears a green and black plaid shirt. The youngest boy, in the center, wears an olive green henley shirt. The middle boy, with blonde hair, wears a rust-colored henley. They are all wearing jeans and brown boots. Behind them is a calm body of water and a forested hill with subtle hints of autumn color.

A tight, low-angle crop of three children's legs and feet, showing them standing side-by-side on a weathered wooden dock. All three are wearing dark blue jeans and light brown, square-toed leather boots. The background is a blurred pond.

A portrait of four sisters standing outside by a pond in autumn. The girls are wearing fall colors including a mustard yellow dress, an olive green jumpsuit, and a yellow top with a tan jacket. The youngest girl in the foreground wears a plaid flannel shirt tied at the waist over jeans. They all smile directly at the camera.

A family portrait of a mother and her three sons walking toward the camera on a dirt path in a forest. The mother wears a long-sleeve, sage green dress with a wide brown belt and cowboy boots. The three boys, dressed in jeans and long-sleeve shirts in olive and rust colors, are holding hands. The trees lining the path have faint yellow autumn leaves.
