@PMOsborneWriter @deuxiemepeau Damien has an uncanny ability to weave together his personal narrative with universal themes to which we all can relate, invariably with a sense of humor, hope, and humanity, of striving, searching, and struggle. Damien unflinchingly and unapologetically shares himself with us.

I was thrilled today with the arrival of "Back From Away," the newest addition to my growing collection of the poetry of Irish poet Damien B. Donnelly (@deuxiemepeau). "Going out is easy. Coming back in is an art not easily understood"--epigraph to the new collection.

I was delighted to spot this beautiful Question Mark butterfly on 13 March 2024 at Prince William Forest Park in Northern Virginia. #butterfly #NaturePhotography #questionmarkbutterfly

@StormsJournal The package arrived safely by the end of the year and I am beginning 2024 surrounded by The Storms. Happy New Year, Dami.

[Michael Q. Powell @MichaelQPowell1]

@StormsJournal And a very Merry Christmas to you, my dear friend.

I spotted this cool-looking Virginia Opossum yesterday while wandering the trails at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge. #opossum #wildlifephotography #marsupial

"Take Flight 2023" has landed. I was thrilled today when the post office delivered my copy of this poetry anthology that has one of my dragonfly photos on the cover. It's a 2018 shot of a Migrant Hawker that I photographed in 2018 in Brussels.

[Michael Q. Powell @MichaelQPowell1]

@DragonfliesSW Yay! I can't wait to get my copy! :)

Today I was overjoyed to receive 2 packages from Ireland. Howl is a collection of stories and poems from contemporary Irish writers. The Storms is a printed journal of international poetry, prose and visual arts, founded and edited by Irish poet Damien B. Donnelly @deuxiemepeau .

Most of us are familiar with the lotus position in yoga, though those of us of a certain age may have trouble getting into it. Here's a variant of that lotus position that I spotted last week at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens--the downward facing lotus. #lotus #flowerphotography

This week I captured an image of a bald eagle with its freshly caught prey that appears to be an American Coot. #wildlifephotography #baldeagle #NaturePhotography #americancoot

Dating is hard for ducks too. This male Ring-necked Duck was unsuccessful in striking up a friendship with a weathered male mallard decoy. #wildlifephotography #dating #nature #DuckTales

Yesterday I had a short session with a handsome male Canvasback duck. When I asked him to smile, he gave me a wide, open-mouthed grin. #wildlifephotography #NaturePhotography #happyduck

I love the distinctive yellow eye-markings of White-throated Sparrows, a species that spends its winters with us before returning north in the spring. #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #sparrow #canon7d #tamron150600mm

@StormsJournal @jenlareine It was one of my highlights of 2022 to see two of my photos in print in a collection of amazing poetry.

I was delighted last Thursday to capture this in-flight image of a Double-crested Cormorant as it was flying low over the water. #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #cormorant #birdphotography
