2 Cats. Orchids. Gardening. Hiking. Books. Art. I repost Bsky goodness that interests me, and want to see your shares too! Click my media/feeds tab to see only my photos (but why? 😁) All posted pics are my own. Left, but no politics here.
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
Egrets in the shadow of the forest at the edge of the water. Their white feathers look particularly bright against the dark background. For the #birdoftheday theme of #egretsandherons #birds #egret #heron #protectnature #EastCoastKin
Good morning dear friends. Have a wonderful weekend. Search the incoming insect (it landed successfully)! 😀 #photography #fotografie #fotografía #scapes #landscape #ECK #eastcoastkin
Purple is relatively rare in nature - but there are some powerfully purple species across the globe! 💜 Let’s meet some of the purplest players seen in the natural world ⬇️
Alpine Aster (purple) and Rayless Arnica (yellow) wild flowers growing in Glacier National Park, Montana. July 2025. #flora #Montana #photography #flowers
A perennial Walking Iris, so named because heavy flower stalks bend and touch the ground, letting new baby plantlets take root and "walk" across the garden. Sadly, the ephemeral blooms last for only one day, Baños, Ecuador #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Gardening #Floral #ColorADay #NaturePhotography

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” ― Ansel Adams
