A place of solitude. A refuge in a literal sence. From a recent walk along the shore of the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. #photography #landscape #ECK #infrared #fullspectrum #bnw #blackandwhite #monochrome #GulfofMexico #solitude

Today's #BirdOfTheDay ALT theme is #SummerVisitors. I'm not sure about the migratory nature of black-bellied whistling ducks, but I made several images of this beautiful avian in August behind my house. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #ECK #birds #Birdsky #birders #Nikon #conservation

For #TidesOutTuesday. This tidal pool is right next to the Gulf of Mexico along the shores of North Florida. This is an #infrared image taken from the parking lot right next to a beautiful lighthouse. #photography #landscape #ECK #bnw #blackandwhite #monochrome #fullspectrum #ir #NikonZ6iii

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

It's #MacroMonday. My daughter gifted this pitcher plant to me a couple years ago. It sits in a stand on the screened deck behind my house. It seems pretty happy out there. Especially when it rains. #photography #macro #macrophotography #PitcherPlants #NikonZ8

Atlantic Birding, @atlanticbirding.bsky.social, says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Firsts. This image of a beautiful tricolored heron was made back in 2019. #photography #wildlife #ECK #birds #birdsinflight #Birdsky #birders #Nikon #herons

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfJuly. Well this image was made in August. So I'm kinda cheating a little. I don't think this black-bellied whistling duck would mind. It looks so calm and nice and full of gratitude. #photography #wildlife #ECK #birds #Birdsky #birders #ducks #conservation

Good morning, Bluesky. 🌞 A sunrise over the Asia-Pacific from Hualien, Taiwan. #landscapephotography #landscape #seascapephotography #seascape #naturephotography #nature #sunrise #ocean #island #taiwan #asia #eastcoastkin #photography

Today's #BlueskyArtShow theme is #big. I think a milti-image #panorama of big sky with the #MilkyWay might work. This image was made in dark sky along the North Florida coast. #photography #landscape #ECK #astrophotography #nightphotography #NikonZ8 #astronomy #space #NightSky #DarkSky

From Alan H, @alan678.bsky.social, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OverTheRainbow, any bird looking skyward. I made several images of this red tailed hawk doing just that. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #ECK #birds #Birdsky #birders #NikonZ8 #conservation #nature #hawks

It's #scape day. This is the Portland Head Light. I visited coastal #Maine for a week earlier this month. At #sunset on this evening, #clouds drifted across the sky at just the right moment. #photography #landscape #ECK #infrared #fullspectrum #bnw #blackandwhite #monochrome #wideAngle #lighthouses

From Rob, @robcrank68.bsky.social, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #EgretsAndHerons. That's an easy theme for me. I see them all the time. This great blue heron among great egrets fits. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #ECK #birds #birdsinflight #Birdsky #birders #Nikon #conservation

Remembering springtime and my favorite flower. Magnolias are an ancient angiosperm, one of the first flowering plants to evolve into a vast classification of plant life. They retain their beauty to this day. We hold the key to their survival. #photography #ECK #flowers #bloomscrolling #conservation

Forgive me if I've posted this image before but if the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #YourChoice, I'll probably post a snowy egret, my favorite avian. The beauty with yellow slippers. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #ECK #birds #birdsinflight #Birdsky #birders #NikonZ8 #conservation #nature

I stood on top of a diving platform at Wakulla Springs State Park and photographed manatees with friends in the early morning. They gather in the springs in winter for warmth. There were hundreds of them. These beautiful animals deserve all the ongoing and myriad efforts of #conservation.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #MultiColour. I think this glossy ibis fits. It was photographed in the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge on a nice hiking day. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #ECK #birds #birdsinflight #Birdsky #birders #Nikon #conservation #nature

It's one week since our beautiful boy Bo passed away. He was one of the best pups ever born. I felt his presence on the trails in the woods behind my house this morning. It was right after sunrise and it seemed like he was there beside me. I sure miss him.

Oh look at this. How magical.

Something different. This is a multi-image #panorama of a rainbow made with a full spectrum camera and a 550nm filter. I mean why not. #photography #landscape #ECK #infrared #fullspectrum #fauxcolor #rainbows #clouds

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #EmeraldBackdrop. I suppose this works with the green color of a cypress tree as a backdrop for this beautiful roseate spoonbill. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #ECK #birds #Birdsky #birders #Nikon #conservation #nature #spoonbill

It's #MacroMonday. This beautiful little mushroom was photographed while living its best life out in the woods behind my house. #photography #ECK #fungi #FungiFriends #Mycology #mushrooms #FocusStack

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Grey. Lots of grey in this image of a tern looking for breakfast. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #ECK #birds #birdsinflight #Birdsky #birders #NikonZ8 #conservation #nature

It's #Stunday. This long exposure image was made along the coast of Maine just a couple weeks ago at Biddeford Pool. Skies? Blah. The surf and this column of boulders? Beautiful! This is a 4 minute exposure. #photography #landscape #ECK #Maine #Coast #longexposure #NikonZ8 #NDFilters

Alan, @alan678.bsky.social, says the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CHE, cormorants, herons, and egrets. This tricolored heron was just lifting off from the shallows along coastal North Florida. #photography #wildlife #ECK #Birds #birdsinflight #Birdsky #birders #Herons #coast #conservation #Nikon

YAASSSSS!

When I saw Rob's (@robcrank68.bsky.social) #BirdOfTheDay theme of #OneTwoThreeFour, I thought no way that I can come up with those images. And then I remembered this day at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. #photography #wildlife #ECK #birds #birdsinflight #Birdsky #birders #conservation

Today's #BlueskyArtShow theme is #glass. I immediately thought of a long exposure over water. This is an oak hammock in the Apalachicola National Forest that periodically floods. When it does, we wade. #photography #landscape #ECK #longexposure #oaktrees #bnw #blackandwhite #monochrome

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #EyeOfTheWild. I photographed this black crowned night heron for a good 15 minutes before it finally flew off. It was 20 feet away and didn't seem to mind. #photography #wildlife #ECK #birds #Birdsky #birders #NikonZ8 #conservation #nature #eyes

Thank you for all your support from yesterday's post about losing our boy Bo. This is Bo as a pupply with my son Ryan, one of his best buddies. Many of you mentioned supporting rescue organizations and I couldn't agree more. Bo was a rescue as are our other two dogs. (Continued in ALT)

How do we go on with life when we lose the love and companionship of a lovely and beautiful dog we've been living with for 12 years? You were an old soul, Bo. So attuned to people and always so very calm. My wife and I and our family will miss you for the rest of our lives.
