Just some fun this #newyear. I’m looking forward to learning and experimenting even more this year with new shooting and editing techniques.

Good morning from a cold Dublin. Glad we're above zero today at least.

Yesterday was cold, cold, cold up in the mountains. -6ºC at Sally Gap, but before sunset the sky cracked open.

Frost covered fields leading to the mountain, a cloudy sky opened with crepuscular rays lighting the scene.

Rotbraunes Eichhörnchen, mit größtenteils braunem Fell, sitzt auf einem Stein, auf dem etwas Schnee liegt. Das Eichhörnchen sitzt ausgerichtet zur rechten Bildseite, hat den Kopf in Richtung Kamera gedreht, und schaut nach unten.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #speckles&spots birds with speckled or spotted plumage. The alt theme is #most the bird you think you have most photos of. Good luck. Here’s a red-shouldered hawk taken yesterday. Ps: pls remember the theme hashtag too #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #blueskyMonday

This fogbow against a blue sky and sunshine seems like a good way to feel inspired as we set off in 2026. Behold the beauty and glory of nature!

#EastCoastKin #Hiking #Fogbow #Nature #Weather #WestCoastKin #Selfieshadow
A white, fully arched and complete fogbow has formed in the dry field of the open space at Laguna Lake. The sky is blue above it and light fog is seen at its base and center. My shadow is centered under the fogbow. It's as though I'm stepping into a new world and dimension. San Luis Obispo, California

Close-up of orange berries of euonymus fortunei (known as wintercreeper) hanging from their tan coloured shells called capsules. Their green leaves are hanging behind, with a bokeh effect of the other berries and leaves in the background.

Good Afternoon Bluesky Folks
Here is a picture of a House Sparrow that I saw Yesterday while on a Hike around my Neighbourhood.
Captured on a Canon EOS R50
The picture shows a small songbird perched on a thin, bare tree branch with visible buds, suggesting early spring or late winter. The background is a clear blue sky, and the bird is captured in a side profile facing right. The bird has: - A distinctive solid brown cap on its head. - Pale beige or buff-colored underparts and body. - A short, conical beak typical of seed-eating birds. - Subtle grayish tones on the sides and a relatively plump, rounded body. - A fairly long tail extending downward. This appears to be a **female Eurasian blackcap** (Sylvia atricapilla), a warbler species known for its brownish cap in females (males have a black cap). It's perched calmly in a natural setting, with soft natural lighting highlighting its feathers. Alternatively, it strongly resembles a female house sparrow (Passer domesticus) due to the plain streaked brown plumage, brown head, pale underparts, and thick conical bill—common traits in many small brown birds like sparrows. The budding branch adds a seasonal touch, indicating new growth.

A friendly fox focused on movement in the distance. I am focused on the fix and his intense stare. A head portrait of a favourite fox of mine.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlackAndWhite, any bird that is mainly B&W, and the Alt theme is #Finches.

Always keep your balance ✌️
