There's nothing like hearing a "whoosh" behind you & turning around to see a bald eagle against a #bright blue cloudless sky 🦅💙🌞 #BlueSkyArtShow #Saturday #Florida #art #photography #nature #environment #naturephotograpy #winter #birdwatching #birds 🐦🪶
A bald eagle with wings slightly spread, because it just landed on a pine tree branch. There are lots of pine needles and the sky in the background is cloudless and bright blue.

#autumn where I live looks pretty much the same as other seasons, until the migratory birds arrive 🤩 My 1st sighting of an American Avocet 🩶 #BlueSkyArtShow #Florida #migratory #Saturday #beach #Birdwatching #nature #photography #birds 🐦🪶
An American Avocet is a soft gray and black wading bird with longish, pale legs. It's easy to spot because its bill is very long and thin, and turns up at the end. This particular bird is in the water, and very politely stood still and showed me its best side.

99.9% of my photos are nature & birds, so this is the only #road shot I have for #BlueSkyArtShow I took it because the sticker made me laugh 😂 #photograph #photography #urban #Saturday #Florida
A photo of a road with 2 cars passing, and palm trees and a building in the background. The sky is bright blue, but with some gray and some gray and white puffy clouds. On the right side of the photo a sticker stuck on an orange road sign reads "fuck a fucking job"

Came across this at a shrine to St Michael when I was walking side streets in a nearby Greek community. Lots to look at! Photo is at a weird angle, because the crucifix was in an alcove behind a gate. ##BluskyArtShow #Vibrant #Florida #Saturday #photography #photo
