an indigo bunting is a smallish blue bird - this one stopped to sit on a branch as it was traveling through Galveston, Texas on migration(I think) - the blue is so intense - i tried decreasing saturation a bit, but this is how it came out of the camera. OM and Olympus cameras tend to overdo the blues though -

A woodpecker grasps onto a tree trunk that fills the right half of the frame, it's hanging somewhat upside down, looking up and towards the tree. Background is blurred browns.

Die aktuelle Mental Health Krise, besonders bei jungen Menschen, scheint immer stärker mit einer Ursache korreliert. Auch die Studien zu starker KI-Nutzung & kritischem Denken, Entscheidungsfähigkeit, Erinnerungsvermögen zeichnen kein gutes Bild unseres „Informationszeitalters“.

Standing on a red brick wall, a bluebird faces the camera at a slight angle. He has a blue head with a rusty orange chest and a white abdomen. The blue edge of the right wing is seen. A glossy black beak reflects the sun, and a brown iris is visible in the right eye.
Happy Friday, BlueSky! Have a good weekend. #FeatheredFriday #Birds #Photography #Nature #Blue

Das muß man als großer Lobby-Verband auch erstmal schaffen daß alle möglichen Familienunternehmen jetzt ungefragt beteuern, nie Mitglied im Verband "Die Familienunternehmer" gewesen zu sein oder auch jetzt anlassbezogen austreten. Für so eine Leistung gibt es das schöne Wort "verkackt".

Two redshanks in shallow water during golden hour. One bird stands in front while the other lifts off and lands on its back. Warm golden light reflects across the water and highlights both birds.
A little golden romance in the shallows. These two Common Redshanks clearly got the memo for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme: #MrAndMrs.

Close up of a male House Sparrow perched on a thin branch. The bird has a warm chestnut crown, grey cheeks, a dark bib on the throat and soft grey-brown plumage on the body. The background is completely dark and smooth, making the sparrow stand out clearly.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt is the humble #Sparrow
Always underestimated, always photogenic. This little guy posed like he owned the branch.

A vertical photograph showing a cluster of pale yellow, shelf-like fungi, a type of bracket fungus or polypore known as "chicken-of-the-woods", growing on the side of a large, dark tree trunk in a forest.
The fungi are illuminated by a warm, golden light—possibly the setting or rising sun—that seems to be shining into a crevice or cavity in the bark, making the mushrooms glow brightly against the shadowed wood.
The surrounding forest environment is softly blurred in the background, with dark green foliage and some lighter green leaves (possibly maple) visible in the foreground and to the right. The contrast between the bright, warm-toned fungi and the dark, textured bark and shadows is strong.
Sunset light on "chicken-of-the-woods" mushroom. Laetiporus sulphureus is a type of bracket #fungus which grow on trees. Taken in Backbone #StatePark, Dundee, #Iowa. (2025)

Ten perfect minutes with a wintering blackcap in Inch Park this morning. Picking berries, eating berries, and wiping her beak - pick, eat, wipe, repeat - the whole time I was watching her 🥰

Posting a daily squirrel from other's photos on Bluesky.
Chipmunks, flying squirrels, ground squirrels, you name it. Focusing on good photos and rarer squirrels.
Please stop using "squirrel" in political contexts it's driving me insane.
Curious about wildlife and nature, but also photography, books, art, language... all kinds of stuff.
