A black and white close-up of a luscious orange rose with dark edges on its outer petals. In front and behind it are blue sea holly, a plant that looks like a pine cone with spiky leaves.

A rose to outshine all others - vibrant shades of red and orange with purple edges - with salmon, orange, and yellow roses and green leaves in the background. Silver-blue thistle with its spiky foliage is to the right of the rose and below it.

A small brown bird with a tan and white breast and a white brow stripe (Carolina wren) stands on the edge of a water bowl that's sitting on a wooden bench. The background is mottled green lawn. The photo was taken through a porch window.

A small stream runs through the center of the photo bordered by rocks and light green vegetation in the foreground. A large boulder rests on the opposite side with smaller rocks along the shoreline and overhanging evergreens and beach trees.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #HangingAround or 'Birds at Unusual Angles', here are two cedar waxwings eating berries from a waxed-leaf privet. They appear to be mirror images but note the different colored tail feathers. 🧡💛 #Birds #EastCoastKin #NaturePhotography #PhotographersofBlueSky
