Caught this little Mallard duck at the park yesterday. Or rather, she caught me while I was trying to sneak up for a photo. #Photography #10MinutesFromHome #Birds #BirdOfTheDay #RedOrDead #ColorADay #RedWed #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland

Good morning from PDX. One of Mt. Hood from April 19, 2026. 💛🏔️ Smoky conditions and poor air quality remain today. The Grasshopper Fire near Hood is 19% contained. Much gratitude to the firefighters.🌲💚🏔️ #Photography #Scape #PNW #PDX #Oregon #Mountains #MountHood #Forests

Mt. Hood. Mid morning. Dark conifers, snowy mountaintop with some rock exposure, thick layers of gray and illuminated golden sky and clouds, with scattered clouds throughout.

'The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead Alt #SummerVisitors' This cormorant looks like a guardian of the nature reserve 🪶 #birds #birding #wildlife #nature #photography #naturephotography #thelittlethings #ECK #Scape

The picture shows a cormorant perched on a wooden post. The bird is sitting upright and looking to the right and behind it. A red-and-white-striped navigation mark is attached to the post. Blurred, green trees beneath a grey-blue sky form the background.

European white storks arrive in spring and head back to Spain or North Africa in autumn. A truly incredible journey! 🦅🌍 #BirdOfTheDay #SummerVisitors #birds #wildlife #LakeConstance #Bodensee #WaterWednesday #photography #naturephotography #thelittlethings #ECK #Scape

A white stork is standing on moss-covered rocks on the bank, looking slightly to the left. It has a marking ring on its right leg. The water is very green with gentle ripples. The white of the plumage is visible in the water.

A gorgeous tropical island taken from a boat. A lush, green mountain leads to a strip of beach on the left with a hotel building. The water is an amazing, clear turquoise with some dark spots where there's coral. The sky is blue with with puffy clouds. There are few boats next to the island toward the center.

Urban egret Snowy egret at Lake Merritt in Oakland. I thought the very urban background was kind of cool. #BirdOfTheDay #FabulousWaders #birds #EastCoastKin #ECK #PhotographersUnited #photography #OM-3

A snowy egret standing in a lake near the edge. You can only see the water, but it's reflecting a metal fence on the left, metal posts on both sides of the egret on the right side, and a rusted wall at the top. The egret is facing about 10 o'clock and is reflected in the water.

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead, any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches. Alt #SummerVisitors Migratory birds associated with summer or your favourite bird to capture in summer. #birds #photography #ECK

A Meadow Pipit perches sideways on the curved seed head of a dark purple grass, its finely streaked brown upperparts and cream underparts sharply in focus against a smooth green background. The bird grips a large reddish earthworm in its slender bill, likely carrying food back to a nest or recently fledged young. Its alert dark eye and slightly raised crown feathers give it an attentive expression, while the soft, blurred backdrop draws full attention to the delicate plumage and the vivid contrast of the red worm against the bird’s pale face.

Going out with Sam but will be back in late afternoon to do my BOTD whizz through. 😁 I took this in a dark corner of my garden under a large tree in the rain. Just liked it. Bit different. Not exactly vibrant. 😂 Spot metered. #photography #flowers #BloomScrolling #ECK #macro #NatureLovers

A close-up macro photograph of a single white oxeye daisy against a deep black background. The bright orange-yellow central disc is sharply detailed, contrasting with the white petals, several of which are slightly curled, uneven, or weathered, giving the bloom a natural, lived-in character. Tiny raindrops cling to a couple of the upper petals, while a larger droplet hangs delicately from the tip of a lower petal. The dark background isolates the flower, drawing full attention to its intricate textures and simple elegance.

Good evening everyone. Going to catch up on comments and do some #BirdOfTheDay Hope you are all having a lovely day. 🙏🏼 #RedOrDead #photography #ECK #birds #Ireland

A close-up portrait of a juvenile house sparrow perched on a slender branch with glossy green leaves and deep red stems. The young bird has soft, buff-brown plumage, a pale cream breast, and a chunky pinkish bill with a hint of yellow at the gape, indicating it has recently fledged. It faces slightly to the right, its dark eye catching the warm sunlight, while its fluffy feathers give it a rounded, endearing appearance. The background is a smooth blur of olive and dark green tones, isolating the sparrow and creating a calm, natural setting that draws attention to its delicate features and fresh juvenile plumage.

Morning #BlueSky ☕️ & two Irish staples, a dramatic dawn sky & the nation’s favourite bread being dropped off at the local grocery store. Have a beautiful day friends ☺️ #ECK #WindowsOnWednesday #AOFoto #Photography #Dawn #Reflections #PhotographyOfBlueSky #Clouds #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Ireland

Our moody early morning scene captures the quiet routine that begins long before most people are awake.

Heavy charcoal-grey clouds stretch across the sky, broken only by narrow gaps where the rising sun pushes through, casting soft streaks of golden light along the horizon.

Several overhead power lines cut diagonally across the dramatic sky, adding to the sense of an ordinary working morning.

In the foreground is the entrance to a modern supermarket. Large glass windows reflect the warm glow of sunrise while the interior remains dimly lit, hinting that staff are preparing for the day ahead.

Metal railings surround raised planting beds filled with tall ornamental grasses, and sturdy stainless-steel bollards line the pavement at the front of the store.

To the right of the building, a bright yellow bakery delivery van stands out against the dark surroundings.

Parked beside the entrance, it appears to have just arrived with the morning’s fresh bread.

Although no workers are visible, the van suggests the familiar, unseen rhythm of early deliveries that stock supermarket shelves before customers arrive.

Trees frame the background, their dark silhouettes blending into the stormy sky, while a few streetlights remain standing over the quiet car park.

The contrast between the glowing sunrise, the threatening clouds, and the vivid yellow delivery van creates a striking image of everyday life.

A reminder that while the town is still waking, the day’s work is already well underway, ensuring fresh bread is waiting for the first shoppers of the morning.

And finally our picture today is finished with a simple white border frame.
