Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #MoodyFaces and the Alt theme is #Borbs any bird looking round.

Oh dear, why are you in such a bad mood??
Keep smiling, little round birdie ✌️

A greenfinch is sitting on a small branch of a tree by a feeding station. It has puffed itself up and looks rather grumpy.

A fading red poinsietta leaf on a block of ice that formed in a bucket during our recent cold spell. Resulting image heavily processed in Lightroom.

A curled and fading red Poinsettia leaf on a block of ice rescued from a bucket where it had formed during our recent cold spell. The ice has a curved edge on the right hand side of the image creating an 'escarpment' with the poinsettia leaf sat next to the curved ridge line. A red Led light was used to illuminte the ice and in post processing the tones were adjusted to darken the whole image and the ice and to heighten the colour of the ice resulting in a dark and glassy look to the curved ridge line of the ice and on the downslope of the escarpment.

So my cohost Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has said today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #MoodyFaces any bird looking moody, and the Alt theme is #Borbs any bird looking round. It’s frosty here so I’ll be out with the dog taking snaps for a while. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A moody Little Egret.
A moody white egret deep in thought stands motionless at the edge of dark, still water, its long black beak pointed slightly downward and delicate breeding plumes hanging from its chest. The bird is illuminated against a shadowy background of reeds, with a faint reflection visible below and a strip of green grass in the foreground.

When you walk in kindness
others will turn towards you
seeking the source of your
light and energy,
just as the Sunflower tracks
the Sun, recognising its
life-giving source

#Poem #Poetry #Kindness #Sunflower #EastCoastKin
Bright yellow petals surround the round brown centre (filled with seeds) of the Sunflower. Two smaller Sunflowers sit behind the big one in the front. Green leaves support each flower head.

Small brown wren perched among glossy green leaves, shown in side profile with finely mottled plumage, a pale eyebrow stripe, and a slender pointed bill. Its dark eye stands out against a softly blurred green and pink background, creating a calm, natural portrait.

Good Afternoon BlueSky friends! Here is a picture of a European Robin that I saw at Christmas Time Last Year Captured on a Canon EOS R50.
This picture is a close-up photograph of a small songbird perched on a thin, bare branch. The bird is a European robin, with its beak wide open as if singing or calling loudly. It has a bright orange-red throat and breast that stands out sharply against its softer gray-blue head, back, and wings. The belly and undertail are pale whitish-gray. The bird has a plump, rounded body, large dark eyes, and a short tail. The background is a plain, overexposed white (likely snowy or bright sky), and the branch shows some lichen or frost patches. The overall mood is lively and charming, capturing the bird in a moment of vocal expression.

Good Evening and Goodnight
BlueSky Folks! Here is a picture of a poppy Flower That I Saw last year
while Wondering Around My Local Area Captured on a Canon EOS R50
The image is a close-up photograph of several vibrant red poppy flowers (Papaver rhoeas) in bloom. The main flower in the foreground is sharply focused, showing delicate, crinkled scarlet petals with a dark purple-black center surrounded by stamens. Behind it, a few more poppies are slightly out of focus, along with some unopened green buds on slender, curving stems. The background is softly blurred with warm, earthy orange-brown tones, suggesting a brick wall or sunlit soil. The lighting is golden and gentle, likely taken during late afternoon or early evening, giving the scene a warm, serene feel. Overall, it's a beautiful, intimate nature shot emphasizing the fragile beauty of wild poppies.

Close-up portrait of a ginger-and-white cat with amber eyes, facing the camera. Small snowflakes rest on its ears and head, highlighting its pink nose, white whiskers, and alert, curious expression against a softly blurred outdoor background.
