Guide Dogs UK has a very important announcement for anyone with an unconventional hairstyle, beard, tattoos etc. You are needed to play with puppies.

"We’re issuing a national appeal for volunteers with distinctive characteristics to help socialise the next generation of guide dogs. Our new research shows that 1 in 5 (20 %) of dog owners revealed their dogs have shown signs of fear or confusion when encountering unfamiliar physical attributes." https://bit.ly/3PgRTOc

Hi #PortfolioDay

I’m Loren. I live in Illinois, USA and I like taking pictures of birds and other things in nature like bugs and turtles and muskrats and mushrooms and moss and frogs and flowers and opossums.

I use a Canon R7 with a 100-400mm lens for most of my pictures and occasionally a 100mm or 35mm for macro. I don’t like doing most dramatic edits and don’t digitally remove branches or “clutter” from my pictures.

I have many of my photos posted on here but for my full portfolio or if you’d like a print that can be found here: https://lorennaturephotography.pixieset.com/birds/birds/
