A close-up selfie of a woman (me!) smiling warmly, showing a "rosy glow" from the cold. She is wearing a grey knitted hat and a deep purple scarf. The low winter sun is behind her, creating a soft golden halo around her hair.

A striking silhouette of a large, bare winter tree against a pale blue sky filled with soft, white "mackerel" clouds. The sun is low on the horizon, creating a bright, hazy glow behind the dark branches.

Abstract macro image of translucent bubbles made by mixing oil with water suspended in deep blue liquid, with varying sizes forming an organic cluster; highlights and reflections create a glowing, almost cosmic effect.

One more from a very pleasant early morning potter around Bushy Park yesterday. #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin #Scape #BushyPark
A willow tree shines bright yellow across a frozen pond. There is a pastel pink fringe of sunrise where the sky meets the land. A bright full moon still shines brightly in the blue, early morning sky.

#FlyFishing the Yaak River in September

#artyear #scape #landscape #Montana
The image presents a tranquil river scene rendered in clear daylight, characterized by balance, stillness, and natural order. In the foreground, a broad riverbank is densely covered with smooth, rounded stones in muted tones of gray, blue, and soft brown. Sparse grasses and young green shoots emerge between the stones, suggesting a seasonal transition—likely late spring or early summer—when new growth cautiously reclaims the margins shaped by water. The river itself flows gently from left to right, its surface calm enough to reflect the surrounding vegetation and sky. The water is shallow and clear, with individual stones visible beneath the surface near the edges, reinforcing a sense of clarity and quiet movement rather than force. Subtle ripples distort the reflections just enough to remind the viewer of the river’s steady passage. On the far bank, dense shrubs and low trees form a thick band of vibrant green, their foliage full and sunlit. Behind them, taller coniferous trees rise in darker shades, creating vertical contrast and depth. These trees lead the eye toward a softly contoured, forested hillside in the distance, its blue-green tones slightly muted by atmospheric perspective. Above, the sky is pale blue and largely unobstructed, marked only by a few faint, wispy clouds. The light is even and unharsh, suggesting either morning or late afternoon, when shadows are gentle and colors appear natural rather than saturated.

'Tracks in the Snow', Long Lane, North Essex, UK. January 2026

#Nature #Landscape #EastAnglia #Photography #EastCoastKin
A dusting of snow covers the track as it passes between rows of trees on either side. The are human and animal foot prints in the snow. The weak, early morning Winter sun highlights the trees and casts shadows on the snowy ground. Through the trees the bright blue sky an be seen.

A row of sunlit starlings on a electricity line. They are all looking upwards in the same direction except one that has its head turned towards its neighbour, as if it's asking a question. Another exception on the extreme left is investigating the wire it's perched on. The sky in the background is clear and bright blue.

Looking Over The Pond

The year turns softly, breath held still,
As light finds courage in the cold.
Reflections whisper: start again -
New stories waiting to be told.

A tranquil waterside at dusk, with bare winter trees silhouetted against a pastel sky of soft blues, pinks and gold. Houses glow with warm lights along the far bank, reflected in the calm pond, creating a peaceful scene suggestive of renewal and quiet beginnings.

A vertical photograph of a snow-covered field at sunset. The low sun is positioned directly behind a line of bare, dark trees, creating a vibrant sunburst effect with light rays stretching across the bright blue sky. Long, dramatic shadows from the trees stretch forward across the pristine, textured white snow.

#EastCoastKin
A striking contrast of old and new architecture in the City of London: St Andrew Undershaft church stands in the foreground, its pale stone walls, narrow arched windows and clock tower framed by neighbouring historic buildings. Beside it rises an ornate Victorian office block with carved stonework, bay windows and arched entrances at street level. Towering behind them is 30 St Mary Axe, known as the Gherkin, its iconic bullet-shaped form clad in diamond-patterned glass panels that reflect the blue sky and drifting clouds above.

A calm harbour scene with fishing boats and small yachts moored on clear turquoise water, their reflections shimmering below. Colourful hulls line the quayside beneath dramatic, layered clouds breaking to patches of blue sky, with low hills in the distance.
