Yes Glynis. I had vaccination. It’s a horrible and debilitating thing. Thank you so much. 🙏

As you say Rina. Weird people but very scary for a lady. So annoyed for you and angry. 😡

You were absolutely in the right job Marjo. A very caring lady. Thank you, I will. 🙏

Fab capture Adam. 👌👌

Great shot Lorraine. Love Skylarks. 😍

Good morning. Very little sleep, blowing a gale outside but it's a good morning (thank you Norwich City).
Alan has chosen #BrownIsBeautiful as today's #BirdOfTheDay theme. Here's a Skylark.

Thank you so much Sabine. Yes getting worn down with it at present. I hope you are recovered and in fine form. Take care of you too my dear friend. 😊🫶

That makes sense Marjo. Funny somebody was saying that to me too. Yes have been given everything the docs can give me.

It really isn’t Den. Hope you stay well clear of this one. It’s a nightmare. God help your brother and over Christmas too. Typical. 🙄

😳😳 I’m so sorry to hear that Rina. I know how intimidating it can be for women on their own in lonely places. He is lucky I wasn’t there or he would be jogging horizontally. 😡

A large group of gulls are standing on a beach. The waves are gently lapping onto the shore, with a display of white foamy water. The sun is shining brightly and several birds are paddling at the edge of the water. One is standing in a puddle created on the sand by the waves.

A few of them are #paddling in the water, for today's
#BirdOfTheDay.

Good morning Andries. Thank you.

Thank you my friend. Just lying low for another while Marjo. Taking its toll unfortunately. Take care of you too my friend. 🫶

Thank you Lorraine. Light is everything.

🙏🤗

Unfortunately it’s dragging on Marjo. I had the vaccination for it too. 🙄🤷‍♂️ Good morning. Hope you are both well. 🙏🙏

Cheers. I’ll get there mate. Slow and steady. Have a great one.

You’re very welcome. Dragging on unfortunately Soph. Had the jab too. 🤷‍♂️ Currently feeling sorry for myself. 😂

I had the jab too Graham so 🤷‍♂️. You are so right about the searing pain but it will ease, never leave but ease. A new way of life and that’s hard to compute. Take care my friend.

Not totally back Den. This flu is clinging on unfortunately. It’s blowing a gale up here. Another quiet day of feeling sorry for myself for me. 🤣

Love this PFG.

This image features a vibrant, dense cluster of bright red berries growing on a Pyracantha (commonly known as Firethorn) bush. The berries are the focal point, characterized by their glossy texture and small, dark indentations at the tips. Visual Details • The Berries: Dozens of small, spherical red berries are tightly packed together, creating heavy bunches that weigh down the branches. Some berries show slight weathering or dark spots, adding a natural, realistic touch. • The Foliage: The background and surrounding areas are filled with small, oval-shaped, dark green leaves. Many of these leaves appear waxy or damp, reflecting soft light as if they were recently rained upon. • Composition: The berries are arranged in two main vertical clusters—a larger one dominating the center and a smaller one nestled below it to the left.

Good Evening and Goodnight Beautiful souls of The Blue
Here is a Picture of a scarlet firethorn Berries that I saw a few days ago captured on a Canon EOS R50

This picture shows a solitary, large deciduous tree standing in the center of an open grassy field under an overcast gray sky. The tree has a thick, sturdy trunk and an expansive crown of bare branches spreading widely in all directions, creating a broad, symmetrical silhouette. There are no leaves on the tree or the smaller trees visible in the background, suggesting the photo was taken in late autumn or winter. A narrow, curved path made of reddish-brown bricks or cobblestones winds through the bright green grass toward the base of the tree. The field appears well-maintained, like a park or common. In the mid-background, partially obscured by the tree's branches and some distant leafless trees, there are rooftops and chimneys of buildings, indicating the scene is on the edge of a residential area. The overall mood is quiet and slightly somber due to the muted colors, cloudy sky, and bare branches, but the green grass adds a touch of freshness. The composition centers the tree dramatically, emphasizing its size and age.

Good Afternoon Beautiful souls of The Blue Sorry for the delay in posting My Afternoon Picture
Here is a Picture of a Tree That I Took This Morning on My Trusty Canon EOS R50

This is a close-up photograph of a single sunflower in full bloom. The flower has vibrant yellow petals radiating from a dark brown center filled with seeds, surrounded by broad, heart-shaped green leaves. The sunflower is sharply focused in the foreground, while the background is softly blurred in shades of gray and white, suggesting a snowy or frosty winter landscape—creating a striking contrast between the warm, summery flower and the cold environment. The overall composition emphasizes the sunflower's bright colors and details against the muted, wintry backdrop.

Good Morning BlueSky friends,
Here’s another nostalgic throwback to summer 2025. I captured a photograph of a sunflower while visiting a National Trust property. It was taken with a Canon EOS R50.

What a great shot Andrew.

A Scaly-breasted Munia for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, #BrownIsBeautiful. Seen enjoying the offerings at a Buddhist temple in Ho Chi Minh City a few years back.

Absolutely. Fabulous little birds Andrew. Easiest to photograph when they’re munching.
