Gray hummingbird closeup, facing the camera, with her long gray beak touching the outside of her nest, which is fuzzy and light brown. Her eye is black, and the background is blurred gray and brown.

Female hummingbird, probably black-chinned, building her nest in Miller Canyon, Arizona, last May. My birder friend noticed what she was doing, and then I staked out the nest until she came back to get the shot.

A large oak tree silhouetted against thick fog on a frosty morning. The tree's spreading branches are visible through the mist, with frost covering the ground below. Other trees fade into ghostly shapes in the dense fog background under a purple-gray sky

Oak in the Mist

Some mornings the fog rolls in thick enough to swallow the world, leaving only silhouettes and silence🌫️

💚 Great imagination!! I see it!

Powerful Owlet at dusk. A couple of months ago, a poorly adult POwl was found about 2-3 km away, & there was concern it might be this one's parent. Fortunately, last night one adult was about 30m away, another about 350m away, & this ones sibling was trilling and flying around with it after sunset.

Creamy white mums with yellow centre from my October garden. Most of the flowers are fully open, there are many buds in different stages of bloom in lemon yellow that are quite small compared to those in full bloom. Green leaves of mums in background and concrete wall.

A jeweled tumble of figs on creamey labneh, draped in balsamic glaze and date-molasses warmth, sprinkled with pistachios and sesame seeds, twinkling like tiny holiday lights. An elegant, festive bite for any winter table. #TheOutpost #Cooking #Cooksky #Foodsky #Recipe

Nice pics, but OUCH. That was bad, but glad it wasn't any worse on the stairs! Fast healing to you.

A solitary white yak grazes quietly beneath the vast Himalayas, its heavy coat glowing against golden autumn trees and the immense sweep of snowy peaks rising in dramatic contrast behind it.

Himalayan Flooflord!

Thanks for the mountain of love lately. I’ll find something other than mountains for the next posts! 😝✌🏽❤️

The trees on the opposite bank glow in the setting sun against the partly blue sky, and their reflections, though slightly blurred, shimmer on the slow moving water.

Glad you're feeling better!!

💚💚 Thank you for the encouragement!!! Was nervous about tagging the bskyshow, I don't usually join in. Chance look, I was observing clouds the *other* direction. 🤣🤣
