Dont forget to check out my starter pack of art I think is cool, and are cool people. Sure I love follows and likes, but I wanna talk about it all. So engage to be added, and talk to each other about art. We spend too much time on it, to be this quiet about it. go.bsky.app/KdKygXZ #art #supportart

After the rains in a rose garden.

Glistening rain droplets cling to a slender thorny rose stem, each tiny sphere catching and reflecting the surrounding light. A single curved orange thorn juts downward, adding a sharp contrast to the delicate shimmer of water suspended above.

Amber and copper in a stand of cypress

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Several cypress trees rise from rippled water, staggered from one another. Through them a lake and darkened shoreline are visible in the distance. The autumn foliage glows with copper tones.

our worlds touch, then drift apart

Zoooooom ~ Female Kingfisher on a fly-by ~ extremely fast birds - the perfect shape to just cut through the air as well as diving into water ~ photo taken at Forest Farm NR - Cardiff - South Wales 😎 🪶 🦉 #birdingwales #ukbirding #birds #kingfisher #nature #wildlife #birdsofbluesky #birdwatching
A UK kingfisher is a small, stocky bird, similar in size to a house sparrow or robin, but with a large head and a long, dagger-like beak. It is often described in terms of its sound and movement, as its bright colouration, while striking, can be hard to spot in the dappled light by the water. The difference between the Male & Female Kingfisher is on the beak with the male having an all-black beak but the female has an orange streak on the lower bill. Size and Shape: It is a compact bird, about 16-17 cm (around 6-7 inches) in length. If a physical model were available, it would feel small and robust, with a disproportionately large head and a long, pointed bill designed for fishing. Its tail is very short, and its legs are small with orange or reddish feet. Colouration (High Contrast/Vibrancy): The bird has a high-contrast pattern. Its back and tail are a bright, electric or metallic blue, while its underparts (chest and belly) are a rich, rusty orange or copper. It has a white patch on its throat and a white spot on the side of its neck. Flight: Its flight is rapid, direct, and low over the water's surface, a "flash of metallic blue" that is over in a blink. Hunting: It typically sits very still and patiently on a low-hanging branch or post over the water, watching for fish. It then suddenly dives headfirst into the water with a quick splash and pops back up to its perch almost instantly.

Limestone oak wood. The last vestiges of autumn colour remained today. They were in the minority thanks to the greens off the ivy and brambles. The Oaks were gone completely with only a few hints of yellow from Sycamores, sweet chestnut and the odd birch. #photography #landscapephotography

For #BlueskyMonday, this popup storm raced across the salt marsh that lines coastal North Florida at our local wildlife refuge. It was just after sunrise. I dodged several of them that morning. So much fun to photograph. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #clouds #rain #storms

A close-up view of a pair of worn blue leather shoes with beige laces standing on the ground covered in colourful autumn leaves. The leaves are shades of yellow, brown, and orange, scattered over wet grass and soil. One bright yellow leaf rests on the right shoe, catching the sunlight.

Bright autumn

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Swamp's edge in autumn, with yellow and orange leaves arching over still water. The trunks of tupelo trees rise from the surface, their bases darkened by moss and moisture, while fallen leaves float motionless on the water.

I was visited by what appeared to be a hundred or more Pinyon Jays today. They stopped by for some snacks. Some of the ones who visited can be seen in the first photo below.

"Casper"
A few years ago, there was a leucistic barn owl near us, locally known as "Casper".
Seen here with dinner.
It was a ghostly sight flying over the fields.
For @robcrank68.bsky.social's #birdoftheday theme of #StandingOnThings.

A white barn own (it is leucistic and lacks pigment in its feathers). It has a brown shrew in its mouth. It is sitting on a wooden post of a barbed wire fence. The foreground is long grass and the background hedgerow.

Sierra Nevada mountain range seen from Carson Valley, Nevada.

#EastCoastKin #SierraNevada #LandscapePhotography #Snow
The landscape after a snowstorm has soft mounds of snow accumulated in front of houses, almost to the point that the houses are not visible. There are a few scattered trees, and beyond the houses and trees is the Sierra Nevada mountain range, covered in snow. The sky is blue with some spotty clouds. Sheridan, Nevada in the Carson Valley

Pigeons in flight, triggered by the loud and piercing sounds of nearby construction. In the lower right corner is the gold dome of the Colorado State Capitol in Denver.

#Minnesota is finally seeing winter. We got some snow yesterday, barely a dusting but still snow. This was taken last winter, but same vibes. #Photography #LandscapePhotography #Landscape #Photo #Nature #Hiking
A winter tree leaflessly takes up the foreground as a frozen river leads the the eye from the center right to the back left. Grasses line the river before reaching the forest in the distance.
