This #robin was singing his heart out until he spotted me. Then there was a sudden silence, but he waited long enough to get his photo taken. The River Bann is in the background.

Today is my #BlueSky 1 year anniversary! I really appreciate this supportive & welcoming space for sharing my photos. Thanks to all the friends I’ve made and those that take time to like/comment/share my posts 🥰

This pic is from my very first post!

A vertical photograph of a woodland path in autumn. The path is carpeted with a dense layer of fallen, reddish-brown leaves and is flanked by tall, dark tree trunks. The bright sun bursts through the canopy at the centre of the image, illuminating the golden and amber leaves with a powerful, warm glow, creating a strong feeling of depth and light.

Hiking trail with lace lichen hanging from the trees and a bridge in the background which goes over a gulch in the mountainside.

#EastCoastKin #Hiking #Lichen
A hiking trail winds between trees that have lace lichen hanging from their branches. The sun is illuminating the lichen and leaves making them a bright green. Further down the trail, there is a wooden bridge that goes over a gulch that runs down the mountainside. It's a sunny day. Marigold trail in San Luis Obispo, California.

I came across this beautiful manzanita tree on a hike. The wood is gorgeous in its deep red.

#EastCoastKin #ManzanitaTree #Trees
The frame is filled with a manzanita tree that has pale minty green leaves and red/purple trunks and branches. The contrast in color is interesting, and the wood looks very smooth. Spotted on the Miner trail in the Irish Hills, San Luis Obispo, California.

Sorry been out with my camera all day. Temperature here feels like -4°C 🥶🥶Coming to check as many #BirdOfTheDay posts as I can. #birds #post #photography #EastCoastKin
A small black-and-white wagtail stands sideways on a weathered wooden post, its long tail held straight behind it. The bird’s crisp monochrome plumage contrasts with the smooth green, softly blurred background, giving the portrait a clean and elegant look.

Talkin Tarn Country Park, Brampton, Cumbria (October 2025)
Autumnal colours on the path beside the tarn and a leafy carpet 🍂
#talkintarn #cumbria #autumn #nature #trees #photography #eastcoastkin
An autumnal view on the walking path by the side of a forest and tarn at Talkin Tarn Country Park, Brampton, Cumbria on a mostly cloudy October day. The branches of the trees are above the path and almost fill the picture and have leaves in various shades of green, yellow, and red, with many fallen leaves covering the ground. The path is carpeted with copper coloured leaves. On the left is a glimpse of the glacial tarn next to the path. Any light through the dense leaves is quite dull from the cloud cover apart from a glimpse of blue sky on the right of the picture. Talkin Tarn is a kettle-hole lake formed by the immense force of glaciers 18,000 years ago. Moving ice scoured and carved the landscape leaving glacial sand hills and a natural bowl, which filled with water as the ice sheet melted. The name Talkin is derived from the Celtic 'Talcan' meaning brow of a hill.

The way the two wild rose stems framed the sun really caught my eye.

North Essex, #EastAnglia, UK. November 2025

#Landscape #ClassicMono #Photography #EastCaostKin
On a foggy November morning the sun appears in the sky as a white dot. The silhouette of a wild rose briar briar arches into the sky creating an arch over the sun. A second briar does the same below the sun. In the foreground the hedge that contains the rose has spiders webs and water droplets glinting in the weak light. In the back ground the shapes of trees appear dimly in the fog.

Looking outward from a small inlet. Both sides of the inlet support tall evergreen trees and barren shrubbery. The inlet winds away from the sight line. Muted colours of autumn dominate the pic with a little red from some distant branches. Sky is grey and reflects a purply grey in the still water

This close-up vertical photograph captures a dense, architectural mass of Mediterranean spurge (Euphorbia characias), likely the subspecies wulfenii, filling the entire frame with a captivating display of texture and form. The image is dominated by numerous, robust, and upright stems, each meticulously clothed in a spiraling arrangement of narrow, oblong, blue-green/grey-green leaves. The foliage creates a highly textural, almost sculptural, effect, with each plant forming a distinct, rounded, and brush-like head. The leaves are tightly clustered, lending a feeling of density and abundance. The overall colour palette is a rich, cool spectrum of green, ranging from deep, shadowy forest greens in the lower and background areas to vibrant, almost chartreuse, lime greens on the newer growth and developing inflorescences at the tips of the stems. Lighting in the photograph is soft and diffused, highlighting the intricate details of the leaves and the overlapping structure of the plants without harsh shadows. This even illumination emphasises the matt, slightly waxy texture of the evergreen leaves. The depth of field is shallow, allowing the central cluster of plants to remain in sharp focus while the surrounding plants gently blur into the background, creating a lush, immersive visual experience. The dense planting offers an impenetrable look, showcasing the plant's architectural quality prized in garden design. The scene is natural yet orderly due to the repetitive, starburst-like pattern of the foliage whorls. This plant is known for its ability to thrive in dry, sunny conditions and produces a milky, irritant sap when broken, a characteristic of the wider Euphorbia genus. The image is a study in natural geometry and shades of green.

A greylag goose in a meadow. The greylag goose is a herbivore, feeding primarily on aquatic or marsh plants, grasses, but also grains and potatoes. It exhibits no particular dimorphism; the female is slightly smaller than the male.
