Photograph of Stonehenge under a twilight sky with a sequence of six moons in different phases arcing above the ancient stones. The moons progress from a waxing crescent on the left through a reddish lunar eclipse in the middle to a waning crescent on the right. The foreground features dark grassy plains, with a faint path leading toward the monument, and the sky glows with deep purples and warm orange near the horizon.

Yes, the large pale pterostigma (wing spot) is a good identification feature.

Rewarding seawatch at Point of Ayr this morning, with a single Leach’s Petrel and 3 Arctic Skuas including these two very dark chocolate brown juveniles. Beautiful markings. Glad I had my camera at the ready when they flew along the beach. #birdingwales @birdsinwales.bsky.social

A day off of my tour on #FungiFriday, so braved the torrential rain to visit Oakhill Nature Reserve in #Goole. Surprised to find so many lovely things! AM very happy for any corrections to my IDs in the ALT text. #fungi #nature #Yorkshire #mycology #mushroom

🌱Good morning🌞 #gardening #bloomscrolling

low tide and low sun paint necessary layers of infused grey and gold around that horizon line

necessary light

A striking Irish sunrise over a quiet field, with the silhouettes of three trees standing against a vivid sky glowing in layers of gold, orange, and violet. The dark outline of a hill rises to the left, while streaks of soft clouds catch the fading light, creating a peaceful and painterly early morning scene.

So obviously after no sleep I decided it was Sunday not Saturday. 😂😂 Will try again. We had such a long evening and night with Storm Amy. I thought I’d post this calm Irish #sunrise

The sky exhales, the earth stands still,
and peace returns beneath the hill.

Good morning, Bluesky. Calm and bright in the Scottish #Highlands currently, but a big storm is brewing for tonight and over the weekend, with potential for power outages. With no mobile or radio signal here it means we will be incommunicado. So, calm shot for today’s #photooftheday Achmelvich
