In the foreground is the City of Oshawa, Ontario. Houses and trees on the nearby streets are lit up by the street lights. The sky is dark blue, almost black, and the moon in full. Six moonbeams in a star pattern shine across the sky and down to the city.

A rock formation stretches into Lake Ontario and the rocks are covered with snow. It is pre-sunrise and the sky is turning shades of gold and orange. Those colours are reflected on the water. In the foreground are some small bare trees on the bank leading up from the shore.

As the cold snap continues, a memory from January 2023. Wisley looked absolutely stunning. The curator at the time sent an email to the staff telling them to go for a walk! A lot of plants didn’t survive that cold weather. For example a whole trial of Hebes was wiped out! #thicktrunkTuesday
Across a lawn turned white by a thick layer of frost, is a tree. Each branch is covered with frost which has turned the whole tree white apart from the trunk and thicker branches which look black.

So big response to today’s #BirdOfTheDay Thank you so much you great bunch of people. Sorry I won’t be able to comment on many but I will repost as many as I can. Apologies. Forgot about #BlueSkyMonday taken today #photography #ThickTrunkTuesday #EastCoastKin
A wide winter landscape in Ireland showing a snow-covered field stretching into the distance beneath a pale blue sky streaked with wispy, high clouds. In the right foreground lies a large fallen tree trunk, cut into thick sections, its rough bark and exposed wood dusted with fresh snow. Behind it stands a cluster of tall, leafless deciduous trees, their dark branches spreading intricately against the sky. The ground is lightly blanketed in snow, with faint hints of grass showing through in places. In the midground and distance, more bare trees line the edges of the field, creating a calm, open rural scene. The overall mood is quiet and wintry, with soft daylight and crisp air suggesting a cold but clear day.

Dawn is breaking over the lake. On the horizon, the sky is pink and then turns to blue. There are 5 Canada Geese flying above. In the foreground are the branches of several bare trees and there is a promontory jutting into the lake.

The ground is covered with snow. There are silhouettes of three large trees in the foreground and many other smaller trees. Behind them, the sun is rising behind clouds. The sky is several shades of yellow and orange, with a strip of blue sky at the top of the photo.

#BlueSkyArtShow #NewYear dawns in #Ireland #Sunrise #photography #EastCoastKin
Golden sunrise over an Irish landscape, with dramatic dark-blue clouds edged in warm orange light. Sunbeams stream through gaps in the clouds, illuminating distant rolling hills and casting shimmering gold reflections across calm water in the foreground.

The #NewYear means that I only have about 10 more weeks to capture sunrises over Lake Ontario, before the sun moves further north.
#BlueSkyArtShow #Photography #EastCoastKin
Taken from the shore of Lake Ontario. The sun has just risen above the horizon and the sky is stripes of gold and orange. There is a patch of dark blue sky at the top of the photo, with a white cloud across it. The sky is reflected across the water and the sun's reflection travels all the way to the shore. One long sunbeam crosses the water and the sky diagonally.

Stillness and Glory

Calm upon the water, fire in the sky, and all around, the near-deafening music of the dawn chorus.

In the foreground are silhouettes of three trees and a wooden arbor. There is a lamp beside the arbor and behind it are the waters of Lake Ontario. The sun is about to rise above the horizon and the sky is orange, blending to blue. There are a few grey clouds.

The Lord Moon of the Mall pub on Whitehall, near Trafalgar Square, London.
#UrbanGaze #Photography #EastCoastKin
The pub has three large rounded windows and a rounded entryway. There are hanging baskets between the windows, around the entrance, along a railing and all along a ledge above the pavement (sidewalk). They are filled with red flowers and trailing ivy. There are three steps leading up to the door.

The photo was taken in a park. In the centre is a gazebo with two benches inside and trees in front of it. The ground is covered with snow. The sun has just risen above the horizon and it has turned the sky a dark yellow with blue sky above that.

The rocks in the creek are covered in snow, as are the ones on the banks. The shallow water is flowing around the rocks and is not yet frozen. There are bare branches of several shrubs growing on the far bank.
