Amber.

Soft morning light filters through a dense forest, illuminating the orange-brown fallen leaves on the ground. Tall dark tree trunks rise vertically, creating depth and contrast against the hazy, misty background. A warm patch of light glows in the distance, giving the scene a calm, atmospheric, almost magical feeling.

This coyote photo might be my best of the year--and I think I had a really great nature photography year!

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #OnTheEdge , any bird at the edge of a body of water.
Here, a group of sanderlings run along the shore in #LongBeachCA last Saturday.
#Birds #Photography #Nature
A group of five medium size shore birds run from right to left a frame. They are bright white on the under sides with mottled, black and white on their heads, back and feathers. They have black beaks and black eyes. They are on the tan sand just as the latest ocean wave recedes into the sea.

The sun shines through autumn colored leaved trees in a forest. The path is covered with fallen leaves.

The gnarled oaks of this #ancient #woodland in Dartmoor are absolutely spectacular. It’s one of the few last remaining temparate #rainforests in Britain.

The delicacy of the #ecosystem is obvious having visited, with the vast array of mosses, lichens, ferns and more all living in harmony.

Tall, thin, leafless trees line a freshly snow-covered area with a wooden path winding its way through, also snow-covered.

Lovely colours over a mirror still Loch Dughaill yesterday morning. I had to hang onto a branch and lean out over the water to get this. It could have gone one of two ways.
Orange sunrise over still water.

On an early summer morning, beautiful puffy clouds reflect in the calm waters of Vermillion Lakes in the Canadian Rockies, while the distant mountains catch the first rays of the sun.

Butterfly Season 2025

The unofficial BlueSky mascot

If you have followed me, you probably read that this male Eastern Tailed-Blue is one of the smallest butterflies in the world; 0.5” wingspan when open; about the size of your pinky nail when his wings are closed.
