#Connect2Nature #Birds #BirdoftheDay #RedorDead I call this my "Monet shot" since the background and water reminds me of the artist's style. It has the warm reds and oranges of autumn. The Heron was an added bonus. #Nature #Photography

Immature male Bullock’s oriole for the #SummerVisitors theme of #BirdOfTheDay picked by @alan678.bsky.social These birds breed in California and most of the Western US, and winter in central and southern Mexico. #birds #nature #photography #ECK
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead: any bird with red in the photo but not on the bird or any bird on bare winter branches. This #BlueJay has chosen NOT to be the most colourful thing in the picture. #birds #photography #BirdPhotography #jays #wildlife #WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography

Per Helen @helenbennett.bsky.social , today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FabulousWaders. Any wading bird. Alt is #Speckled #TricoloredHeron #birds #wadingbird #RockinTuesday #TidesOutTuesday #ColorADay #BlueTue #photography #nature #wildlife #thelittlethings #ECK
According to Helen Bennet, @helenbennett.bsky.social, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FabulousWaders. I think this reddish egret fits well. It was feeding in the shallows of our local wildlife refuge. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #ECK #birds #Birdsky #birders #NikonZ8 #conservation
For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, #FabulousWaders, I offer this photo I took of a lone Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) wading in the St. Johns River in North Florida just after sunrise. This was #AMomentinNature!

We have heard that brunch holds more dangers than any other meal. Our story, "The Fruit Is Very Acceptable Here," confirms this. We think it would commonly be regarded as "fiction," and maybe "science fiction," and possibly "fantasy fiction," and probably "weird fiction." Zoe knows but will not say.

But Zoe's friends are getting suspicious, so the time has come to face the confusing conversational human gantlet... of brunch. @angrykem.bsky.social DELIGHTS. www.adventitious.net/stories/the-...
One of my first photos. The light from the low winter sun started interacting with low clouds at noon, which caused this amazing light. The birds stand on rocks just under the surface, far from land. #sea #scape #clouds #BirdOfTheDay #Firsts #birds #photography
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Firsts: some of your earliest bird captures. I started taking pictures of birds in 2020 (I wonder why), which was when I discovered the existence of #BlackCrownedNightHerons. I was excited when this one perched next to the path. #birds #photography #BirdPhotography

Great thread: a fascinating look at how ancient Greek art told stories, often using similar techniques to comics.
Flint Dibble@flintdibble.bsky.social · 6d agoEveryone's comparing Nolan's Odyssey to Homer, but I think there's much more richness The ancient Greeks adapted the Odyssey into ART While these images might appear static to us, I want to walk through how an ancient Greek saw art: AS DYNAMIC STORYTELLING like our films 1/13
