Maybe it is a bit of projection, but it seems this Pacific Black duck is enjoying life. #overtherainbow #birdoftheday #eastcoastkin #birds #birdphotography #australia #westcoastkin #melbourne #pacificblackduck #birdsofbluesky #photography #ECK #duck #photographersofbluesky #photographersunited

Image of a striped face, brown-eyed swimming duck. The brown and tan bird appears to look up wistfully as if she is smiling.

First sight of full moon last night. As the moon was rising, the sun was setting and reflected pale pink on the moon and the horizon. The truck looks like it is pushing a large pink ball along the highway overpass. It was almost translucent in person. Emeryville, CA #moon #sky

Pale pink full moon rising over horizon and highway overpass. A large, bright red coca-cola truck is just to the right and looks like it is pushing it down the hill. Sky pale pink, water is pale blue.

A large white-eyed black bird close up and caught looking. The Little Raven, so black the feathers look blue, appears as if it’s angry he/she was interrupted.

Headed into darkness, South Island, New Zealand. #classicmono #weekdfordark #EKC #blackandwhite #monochrome #BWfriday #alphabetchallenge #westcoastkin #forestfriday #trees #storm #photography #photographersunited #photographersofbluesky #newzealand #westcoastkin #landscapephotography #scape

Black and white image of a long unkempt dirt road that cuts in between natural trees and those that have been hedged. High grass covers the road’s middle and sides, but an old fence marks this haphazard end. A manicured field, most likely one that has been harvested, proves the area must not be abandoned. In the distance, dark and light foreboding clouds hover too close for the mountain peaks.

Horizontal orientation twilight landscape photograph capturing a large full moon aligned over distant mountain ridges during the golden hour. The top section of the frame features a soft gradient sky transitioning from warm golden-pink hues near the horizon to deep cool blue above. A sharp, detailed full moon hangs prominently in the sky. Below, layered mountain silhouettes recede into atmospheric haze, creating strong depth and scale. The low-angle natural light highlights subtle atmospheric textures and terrain contours. Optimized for golden hour full moon landscapes, moonrise mountain photography, twilight horizon alignment, atmospheric mountain ridges, and moon-driven landscape photography indexing.

This past weekend, I finally got a shot of an adult painted bunting. Lots of long hours in the hot sweaty swamp led to this. 😅 #BirdOfTheDay #MultiColour #Birds #Photography #EastCoastKin #ECK #EricOlsonPhotography

Good morning birders. Today I thought I would let you post freely so the #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #YourChoice bird capture/ captures you’ve been itching to post. No alt obviously. I’ve went with the unloved but beautiful in sunlight Starling. Taken a few days ago. #birds #photography #ECK

Close-up portrait of a European Starling perched among leafy branches. The bird’s glossy black plumage shimmers with iridescent purple and green highlights in bright sunlight, while neat white speckles cover its breast and flanks. It faces to the right with its long, pointed bill and dark eye sharply in focus. Soft green foliage and blurred leaves create a smooth natural background, drawing attention to the starling’s striking metallic sheen and intricate feather detail.

An Atlantic Puffin spreads its wings with the sun rising over the ocean behind it. The warm tones from the sun create a ray of orange on the water and backlighting coming through the puffins wings.

Male Chestnut Teal awakened from a nap and now watching my every move, Melbourne, Australia. #eyeofthewild #flyday #birdoftheday #birds #birdsofaustralia #birdphotography #photography #ducks #australia #photographersunited #photographersofbluesky #chestnutteal #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #ECK

Image of a multi-colored duck with red eyes. The Chestnut Teal’s feathers range from a light chestnut to dark brown, then changes when the body plumage transitions to a head of bright green. The duck rests on one leg and looks directly into the camera. Water fills the background, yet it appears too cold for this regal bird.

It was a windy day in Brisbane and this Powerful Owlet seemed to be hunkering down. It's an unusual position to see a POwlet in. After attacking some bark it made its way upright again. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

Local housing companies have arranged holiday jobs and summer activities for young people for several years. The young people have been able to create public art in the form of colorful mosaics on concrete walls, pedestrian tunnels and plantings. 💛💚💛 #UrbanGaze #ShowHeart #ColorADay #YellowThu #ECK

A large, concrete circular planter stands outdoors on a sunny day, decorated with colorful mosaic art.
Light gray, textured concrete cylinder with a prominent, large heart shape mosaic is embedded into the front center. It´s filled with multi-colored broken ceramic tiles in shades of yellow, orange, red, white, pink, and hints of green.
To the left and right of the heart, smaller mosaic designs feature simple flowers and abstract shapes made of yellow, blue, and red tile pieces.
A small tree with dense green leaves and reddish-brown tips grows out of the center.Lush green shrubs and small purple flowers surround the base of the tree inside the planter. To the right, a low-lying green bush lines the edge of a grassy lawn.
A three-story apartment residential building sits directly behind the planter. Facade is made of light yellow brick with white balconies and dark brown trim along the roofline.
Bright, direct sunlight casts strong shadows on the ground and highlights the vibrant colors of the mosaic tiles.

Queensland Popsicle hibiscus with a male Bright Cornelian visiter, QUT, Brisbane, Australia. #hibiscus #bloomscrolling #flowers #australia #butterflyweek #butterflies #butterfly #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #photographersofbluesky #photography #photographersunited #flyday #bugsky #insectthurs #ECK

Image shows a small delicate butterfly dressed in light brown and red-orange. The butterfly has muted stripes that appear irregular and taper to what appears to be an eye—yet the black dot is just a decoy for predators who may be drawn to attack the wrong end. A bright yellow, orange, and pink-red hibiscus flower, with yellow stigma and anthers, acts as a place to rest under the bright blue Queensland sky.

intense heat, receding with the tide, yet the air is still, silence lies draped across water, rock and sand. Far out, a lone sail, drowned by blinding light: To vanish into a sun filled afternoon, to travel with the fading sun, boundless, aimless, rocked by a gentle sea- #photography #seascape #eck
