Beautiful morning in Braemar, with frost hanging on in the birkwood for a few hours. I rushed out to make the most of it, but in the time it took me to walk around the loop, the frost had thawed by the time I'd gone full circle.

trees & shrubs border a small pond and are reflected in the stillness of the water. The sky is grey blue and the pond mirrors its colour.

Caloplaca cluster. A beautiful seaside #lichen at #Newfoundland, Canada. #fungi #fungifriends
Photo of a number of bright yellow lichens growing together in a cluster or mat on seaside cliff rock. The lichens are more or less round.

A Solstice sunrise (this one’s an ink-and-watercolour from a few years ago - we haven’t had any sort of sunrise here for the last week or so!). For the final day of #artAdventCalendar - best wishes to everyone.

Absolutely wild pink nitrogen ribbon aurora burst last night here in Iceland. There was cloud cover, and I was worried the show would stay shrouded. Voila!

The purpley-pink & white ribbons are much closer to us in the atmosphere than standard green arcs, and are fast moving.

The pretty dried seed heads in the meadow were glistening in the sunshine yesterday. 📷 🌿

Happy winter solstice everyone! ✨🕊️

A photograph of a dried winter umbel seed head that is covered in dew and cobwebs making it sparkle in the low sunlight. The image focuses on one large seed head that looks like a "starry" burst or explosion as the individual seed structures radiate from a central point. The background is buff coloured with a 'bokeh' appearance.

Got that solstice sort of feeling today. Lunchtime in the northernmost town in the world.

(Very long exposure to show you the dayside aurora. Actual visibility is closed to nothing)

Here is a black and white photo I took of a forest crow flying over the sunset. A dip in the dark trees frames the towering clouds with soft leafy limbs. At the center, the sky yawns open with brightness, revealing the bird's body and curved wing silhouette in diffused sunlight. A taste of rain on the westerly breeze teased the moment with storm potential. I remember thinking: suns, planets, and moons play the eclipse game. Crows are no different. Little mischievous drops of midnight—loose upon our days. This new haiku is a fallen feather I picked up. caw eclipse ebony freeze frames dusk's wool yawn

Today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme from @churchstreetimages.com is #OpenHouse, celebrating the feed's year.

I got back into #Photography a year ago, to get me out of the house; and the first image I felt really proud of was this one. Not flashy, but for me ... less random

A year ago today I brought our garden bothy cat home for the Christmas holidays… and she’s still here. Ok, so she’s still nervous, does the occasional naughty pee and makes me sneeze, but she does look very sweet when she’s sleeping #Caturday
