#WaterfallWednesday #ECK #EastCoastKin #AlphabetChallenge #EforEphemeral #blueskyphotography #iphonephotography #art #travel Tumwater Falls at Brewery Park in Olympia, WA. [2023]

A wooden footbridge crosses high above a powerful, mist-shrouded waterfall crashing over dark basalt rock, with sunlight filtering through evergreen trees in the background. Tumwater Falls, Tumwater/Olympia, Washington.

#RockinTuesday #ECK #photography #gratitude Too hot for a fire anywhere this summer. However, always a good day to share a little gratitude. Peace, love and light!

A round stone engraved with the word 'Gratitude' sits among lava rocks and glass fire pit media, with a flame flickering beside it and a dark metal fire pit burner visible in the background.

#BlueTue#ColorADay#ECK #AlphabetChallenge #EforEphemeral #blueskyphotography #iphonephotography #art 2026 monsoon rains over the desert southwest from a window seat.

Aerial view of a rain shower over a desert valley, seen from an airplane window. Dark blue-gray storm clouds hang over distant mountains, with visible curtains of rain (virga-like streaks) falling toward a hazy valley floor dotted with small towns and fields below.

#PostProcess #ECK #Converge Photos: @rjrock.bsky.social Utilized Snapseed and Lightroom from my phone. In my ‘reality’ the light source on left would cause some glow in the foreground leaving the mountains in silhouette. Gratitude to the hosts for presenting the challenge.

Night sky over a dark mountain ridge, with the hazy band of the Milky Way rising diagonally from the horizon, its core glowing faint pink and orange amid dense stars. A warm amber glow lines the horizon, likely from light pollution or dusk, fading into deep blue-black sky scattered with stars and faint satellite trails.

#AlphabetChallenge#WeekEforEphemeral #photography #EastCoastKin #ECK #BlueSkyPhotography #ArtYear #BackYardPhotography #ImageandVerse Nikon Z8 180mm f5.6 1/8000s August, 2025. “The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough” —Rabindranath Tagore

A dark swallowtail butterfly, wings angled and legs outstretched, is caught in an ephemeral mid-landing moment on a cluster of vivid orange-and-red Mexican bird of paradise flowers. Its black wings are patterned with rows of cream and orange spots, and a flash of red shows near the wing base. The flower's long, curling red stamens reach out around the butterfly as it touches down. Soft green foliage and patches of blue sky blur in the background, keeping the focus on this fleeting instant between butterfly and blossom.

#Stunday #ColorADay #OrangeSun #AlphabetChallege #WeekDforDark #photography #art #Nikon #EastCoastKin #ECK #BlueSkyPhotography #ArtYear “Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn.” Ralph Waldo Emerson [attributed] 06/2021 Punta Mita, Mexico. Nikon P900. 125mm f4 1/1600s

Sunset seen through the spiky fronds of a palm plant, which fill most of the frame in black silhouette. The sky glows in a warm gradient from deep orange near the horizon to a soft peach higher up. The sun itself sits low, mostly hidden behind the crisscrossing leaves, with just a sliver of bright golden light breaking through one gap. Below, a hazy strip of ocean stretches along the horizon. A vertical post or column, also in silhouette, runs along the right edge of the image, suggesting the photo was taken from a porch or balcony.

A backlit fountain glowing warm white in a dark pond at night, surrounded by dense trees and tall grasses. The foliage is tinted in surreal purples, blues, and greens, with sprigs of purple flowers in the lower left foreground and a dusky blue sky visible through gaps in the tree canopy.

Black-and-white night photo of a riverside walkway, taken from a railed staircase leading down to a paved path along the water. Streetlights create bright starburst flares, with their reflections shimmering on the dark water. Trees and shrubs line the left side, and lit buildings are visible in the misty distance across the water."

Dark, moody photo of a dog's reflection rippling on the pebbled floor of a pool at dusk. The water's texture breaks up the reflection into a grainy, shadowy silhouette — you can make out the dog's head, ears, and body, distorted by the ripples and fading light.

Digital art of a dark alien landscape at night: jagged mountain silhouettes rise over a calm sea, with a ringed planet (like Saturn) glowing in the sky alongside a smaller moon and a faint light reflecting on the water's horizon.

Golden lights reflecting on rippled dark water at night, elongated into shimmering vertical streaks. Dark silhouettes of pilings or posts break the reflections into columns. The overall palette is deep navy and blue-black water contrasted with warm amber and gold light.

Two silhouetted figures stand backlit by a bright golden circular light at the center of a heavily manipulated, kaleidoscopic image. Swirling, mirrored branch-like patterns radiate outward and downward in warm gold and black tones, creating a symmetrical, tunnel-like or wing-like effect around the figures.

#Stunday#glass #blueskyartshow #AlphabetChallenge #LetterCforCurves #EastCoastKin #ECK #iphonephotography #blueskyphotographers #art #photography A day late posting, ‘Glass’ day Saturday prophesied a broken window. Always see the art before you!

$Close-up through a shattered window pane, the glass fractured into a dense spiderweb of cracks radiating across the frame, with a desert landscape blurred beyond — rocky hills, a saguaro cactus, scrubby plants, and a blue sky with scattered clouds."$

An original black-and-white photo of a desert river bend, Sabino Canyon, AZ. Inspired by the great Ansel Adams. Bare, gnarled trees line the near bank and reflect in the calm, rippling water. Behind them, a steep rocky hillside dotted with saguaro cacti glows brightly in sunlight against a pale sky. Rocks and sandy ground edge the water in the foreground.

A tall glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly, made of hundreds of intertwined blue, teal, and cobalt curling glass tendrils that flare out into a wide base and taper upward into a narrower column of swirling shapes. Scattered amber-gold glass pieces are nestled among the blue forms. The sculpture is displayed against a dark background and reflects on a glossy black surface below.

An outdoor glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly resembling a massive sunburst, made of hundreds of intertwined yellow, orange, and red curling glass tendrils exploding outward, with a few green accents mixed in. The sculpture sits atop a grassy hill against a bright blue sky with white clouds, with buildings and trees visible in the background.
