I've always liked the 'Bridled' form of Guillemot, but to get a photo of 2 together on Inner Farne in 2019 was special!. #SuperSeabirdSunday

A close-up of a Tufted Titmouse with his/her tuft blowing in the wind. I love their black eyelashes. The thin black feathers around the break are rictal bristles, which are common in many birds but their size and placement differs between species.

A pastel sky after sunset is reflected in a still lake below. A small line of geese are silhouetted against the water, swimming towards the left. There are some interesting cloud patterns on the right.

A Grackle stands on a tree limb with its head tilted up, but its eyes are towards the camera.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdsOnTwigs. This is a Grackle that I spotted in spring of this year.

This picture shows a small bird perched on a moss-covered wooden post. The bird has a distinctive appearance with a bright orange-red breast, grayish-brown upper body, and a white underbelly. Its beak is short and pointed, and it has dark eyes. The background is blurred, featuring green and brown tones, suggesting an outdoor setting, possibly a garden or woodland area. Thin branches or twigs are visible in the foreground, adding to the natural feel of the scene. The bird appears alert and is facing slightly to the left. This is a European Robin (Erithacus rubecula), a common and beloved bird in Europe.

One of the largest North American birds, the American White Pelican is majestic in the air. The birds soar with incredible steadiness on broad, white-and-black wings. Their large heads and huge, heavy bills give them a prehistoric look. On the water they dip their pouched bills to scoop up fish, or tip-up like an oversized dabbling duck. Sometimes, groups of pelicans work together to herd fish into the shallows for easy feeding. Look for these elegant birds on inland lakes in summer and near coastlines in winter.

Photo painting of a young woman and a boy (perhaps a mother and son or an older sister and brother) sitting on the shore looking for beach treasures. Beside them is a sand pail with some starfish inside. Collecting shells, sea glass and or starfish are part of the memories of spending a wonderful day at the beach. 

We are all feeling the pinch these days, as times are tight and prices climb. I’m taking 25% off my markup to make it a little easier to give the gift of art this holiday season. ----------> Code: HGHSYP for 25% off - good til Dec. 10, 2025

The ocean breeze was cool, the sun warm, and the waves lapped softly on the shore while you & I sat on the sand counting stars.

A beautiful yellow and green mushroom bends out of the ground. Its stipe is all yellow, shiny and very smooth. Its cap is a gorgeous light green on the right and darker green on the left. Streaks of reflections of the sky and trees above make this mushroom appear like glass. Bits of for needles and moss are blurred behind and around the mushrooms base.

Switching geographical regions, this parrot mushroom looks more "classic" to me and was found in the Olympia, Washington area

A bit of a different take on #ForestFriday. This image was made with a #fullspectrum camera and an #IRChrome filter in a place we call the Oak Garden. It occasionally floods and we stand in the water and make images. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #longexposure #reflections
