#RedWed #ColorADay #Architecture #Sunroom #winter This sunroom is at a friend's house. This room, and the dining room where I enjoyed so many wonderful dinners, are the social heart of the house. Outside are bare winter trees; inside is endless comfort and warmth.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekEforEphemeral This is hedge bindweed (scientific name: Calystegia sepium). It belongs to the Convolvulaceae family and is a close relative of the cultivated morning glory, which is why it's often referred to as "wild morning glory." #bloomscrolling #wildflowers #ECK

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #FabulousWaders. Only a few years ago, the wood stork was endangered. Today it is thriving! This prehistoric-looking bird is indeed fabulous. ALT has processing details. #birds #ECK #photography #wildlifephotography #WoodStork #SouthFlorida #Luminar

This, I found out, is a wingless meadow katydid. The pink eye and pink on the body were gorgeous and different and certainly got my attention. Only time I've seen anything like it! #MacroMonday #ColorADay #PinkMon #insects #ECK

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #Firsts, some of our earliest bird captures. First time I captured cardinals was 2007. It was snowing, and I shot through a back door window. If I'd opened the door, they would have flown away. The plastic cardinal on the pole amused me. 🤭 #birds #wildlifephotography #ECK

Went out early this morning, and everything was still wet from the rain, including this squirrel. Caught him running and jumping along the top of a fenceline. #SquirrelSunday #wildlifephotography #ECK #UrbanGaze #wildlife

How do you not see this America when you look at Donald Trump? This is what I see little innocent children being raped and threatened.

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #OverTheRainbow, any bird looking skyward. This male anhinga fits the theme. 😊 #ECK #birds #photography #wildlifephotograpy #anhinga

#SmallBirdSaturday Captured these female house finches while walking yesterday. First there was one, then the second one joined it. #birds #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #housefinches

ALT #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Yellow. American goldfinch. Spotted singing in a tree just off a main road in NE Ohio.

Prius wouldn't start. Figured out what was wrong, bought the part, had it installed by a friend. Worked perfectly again! Until the part failed after two months! Shame on you, #Toyota; I expected better from you. Now I have to buy it again. This really is the Age of Enshittification!

#scape #waterscape #ECK Always follow the light. Details in ALT. #landscape #LakeHuntleyFL

#BirdOfTheDay is #YourChoice. I took this pic of a blue jay a few days ago and have been wanting to post it. He looks like he's showing off that grub he scrounged from the rain gutter. That's very smart! He was the only one looking there, too! #birds #ECK #BirdPhotography #photography #bluejay

#HumansofBlueSky #UrbanGaze #ColorADay #YellowThu These two, who are waiting for the bus, look festive with their colorful bags but what I see are people with no car, schlepping multiple bags home on a bus. That's very hard, especially if some of it's food and/or very heavy! #StreetPhotography

#BirdOfTheDay #YourChoice I chose this snowy egret, stalking a backwater swamp for food. This was the first time I'd tried replacing the background, and it became one of my most popular photos. #birds #art #snowyegret #ECK #wildlifephotography

#RedWed This hibiscus caught my eye the other day. Such a pretty flower! #bloomscrolling #flowers #hibiscus #ECK

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #MultiColour. This male painted bunting is doing his stretching exercise on a branch. 🙂 They are a species of bird in the cardinal family, and they are often described as the most beautiful bird in North America. #birds #paintedbunting #wildlifephotography #ECK

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekDforDark The woods at night, slightly brightened by two solar lights.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Grey. This pic of a grey catbird shows the darker-colored cap on its head and the rusty red under its tail. They're nice to have around as they provide natural pest control and are friendly birds. #birds #catbird #ECK

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekDforDark I chose this night panorama to start the week. I took the pics on Lake Betty in Highland County, FL, last year. Mosquitoes were pesty, but this photo was worth it. #ECK #panorama #nightphotography

#BirdOfTheDay theme #CHE Cormorants, Herons and Egrets. This great blue was standing on the shoreline, looking majestic. Even amidst that profusion of colorful vegetation around it, the bird stood out. #birds #ECK #GBH #greatblueheron #birdphotography

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekCforCurves An unexpected tunnel I came across while exploring a nearby park. I hoped it was a portal that would take me to another world--a better world!--but alas, I only got to the other side. #tunnel #ECK #curves #architecture

Be sure to read #HeatherCoxRichardson's post this morning. She's on BlueSky. It's sure to infuriate you, as it did me. That man has to be removed and charged! What else has he done to Democrats in blue states that we don't yet know about?

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #EyeOfTheWild – piercing eye or eyes as the dominant feature of the portrait. This is a crested caracara, a bird that eats carrion. Its beak is suitably bloodied as I caught it in the middle of a meal. #birds #wildlifephotography #ECK #caracara

Heads up: Taylor Farms lettuce is sold under these brand names: Marketside (sold at Walmart) Earthbound Farm (owned by Taylor Farms) Cross Valley Farms (owned by US Foods) Private labels for Target, Whole Foods (365), and Amazon Fresh. AVOID ALL OF THEM

What a cool house. Great architecture and colors.

On a recent walk I came by 96 Madison an awesome property , a historic residence which was built in 1857 from what I found online. Love the cool details and colors. Taken in New Bedford MA with Sony A7IV and Tamron 17-28mm Lens #photography #eastcoastkin #newEngland #NewBedfordMA #historic

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #TantalisingTextures, any bird contrasting with hard rough surfaces. These pelicans fit the bill. Background was replaced to feature the birds, rather than a busy Florida harbor. #birds #ECK #pelicans #birdphotography #art #John'sPassFlorida

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #TantalisingTextures or the ALT of #ArtOfMotion. This photo satisfies both. This leucistic mallard exhibits motion with its beak & the ripples it creates moving across the water, and texture & color in its feathers. #birds #ECK #naturephotography
