You two! What a fun and imaginative bit of theatre! That's very cool and the paper dress is absolutely extraordinary.

They are! Usually we see them for a day and then they're gone again but because this pair hung out for nearly a week, we were able to watch their activity. Had no idea they were divers! I hope yours hang out for a while :-)

#Scape day: bamboo in snow. Atop the solidified ice/sleet block that is our current landscape, we've received an additional inch of fluff today. It's pretty and adds traction, at least.

Monochrome image of bamboo in snow. A clear white snow path is open in front of us; several battered leaves dusted with snow are nearest to us; bamboo fills the frame on each side of the path.

Thank you! I spotted it so far in the distance and was shuffling across the ice as quickly as possible to catch that light before it changed 🤣 Totally worth it.

#ForestFriday is a little magical this week with ice, sleet, snow, and the warmth of the rising sun.

#iPhonePhotography #Photography #Bokeh #EastCoastKin
Close up image of cedar trees (Juniper) coated in ice. In the upper left corner of the background is an amber rising sun which is also twinkling like so many lights upon the ice-covered cedar branches. Lots of amber bokeh populates the left side of the frame.

We had a migrating pair on our small water in KY a couple of weeks ago. They're so fun to watch as they paddle around and dive.

#Caturday on a Hudson Bay.

#iPhonePhotography #CatsOfBluesky #Feline #SootySprite #BlackCats #EastCoastKin
Looking straight down at a shiny black cat curled up on a Hudson Bay blanket. The cat is solid black, shiny, and a little bit dusty; his back is to the left, tail curled from the bottom of the frame up to the right around his belly, and his head is at the top, nose buried in the blanket. The wool blanket is cream with black, yellow, and red stripes arranged diagonally beneath the cat.

This hat just might inspire me to pick up the needles again. My last knit was a pussy hat.

'Was zu trinken (kein Alkohol)' #FotoVorschlag

Mushroom coffee, frothed.

#EverydayDose #Foodie #iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin
Close up view of a cold coffee drink in a clear glass. The top half of the image shows the layer of tan colored foam topping the coffee featuring large to tiny bubbles. The bottom half of the image is filled with a mixture of coffee and milk which is a rich caramel color. The liquid is slightly separated, leaving a thin line of dark coffee between the top and bottom layers.

It would've helped but that dude was on the move! It was about an inch long.

#Photography #Signs #EastCoastKin
Color photo. Red brick wall with white metal sign which reads, "Motorcycle Parking." Below the text is a simple graphic of a motorcycle and below that, an arrow pointing left and right. The sign is weathered and the paint is cracking. Beneath the design, you can see a "ghost sign" showing through the thin white paint which indicates that it's an old sign which has been repurposed.

This handsome babe was scuttling around my kitchen one morning so I quickly photographed and carried them to a safe place outdoors. Phileurus valgus, a member of the Rhinoceros Beetle fam.

Black beetle on a white background–– a macro image. The beetle is large and takes up most of the frame. It's sporting a hard, shiny shell; wing coverings have a nice corrugated texture; the legs are spiky and built for rough terrain.

I couldn't agree more. It will most certainly hurt but the world needs to stop placating the toddler.

Good night, everyone. It feels like our so-called "leaders" have all but abandoned us, but we still have each other. I didn't know what else to do, so I made a little painting. Stay safe out there 💛

This winter's amaryllis represents strength and resilience––something we could all use right now.

#JanuArty2026 #Flower #ClassicMono #Monochrome #iPhonePhotography #Photography #Resist #PushBack #StandUpForYourRights #StrongerTogether #EastCoastKin
Macro image in black and white. A white amaryllis blossom flows into the frame from the left side, petals extending to the right side, pistil and stamens spike out from the center. A couple of triangles of solid black background are visible on the right side, between the petals. The white flower is lightly speckled with pink and has a green center which, in monochrome, add tonal interest to the image.

Taking a look back at photos from last spring. I climbed to the top of our property to hug this old friend. #ThickTrunkTuesday

#Photography #Landscape #Trees #EastCoastKin
Vertical (portrait) photograph in muted tones. A very tall tree emerges from the bottom right corner of the frame, traveling diagonally toward the top left,, branches emerging 2/3rds of the way up. The bark is deeply furrowed, the limbs are few and gnarled, the spring foliage is just barely emerging against a very pale blue sky mottled with light cloud cover. This tree lives at the top of the highest knob on our property.
