Great eye and gorgeous composition, Alan! Feels like a classic still life painting!

Love it 😍😍😍

Tru dat!

Preach, Hakeem!!!

Wow! Thanks for sharing this history and perspective!

Looks like it was quite a place!

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Have a great weekend, Alan!

Thank you, Alan!

Thanks, Kat!

Here’s one from my #bird walk yesterday.

This #GreatBlueHeron flushed when I walked near it. It tried #hiding behind some nearby bushy growth, but I found a small hole in the greenery for this capture. Showed him 😊

A slice of #marsh #scape for #scapeday from a bird walk yesterday.

The marsh is gradually seeing the bright greens recede into tans and rusts, but still has a ways to go.

I especially love the downy clouds trailing off to forever.

The layers of light are nice, too!

Hi Susan! Happy #Scape Day and happy #Halloween!

Here are some creepy old #gravestones from #Deerfield Massachusetts to support the mood of the day

The last two almost have a Mayan or Olmec vibe

Enjoy!

Thank you, MrC!

For today’s #hiding prompt, I offer a Black-crowned Night #Heron

My favorite #birding pond is home to lots of BCNHs. During nesting, I can almost always spot more than a dozen in the trees around the pond, usually too distant for my kit

This one actually got close enough for a pic 😊

Thanks so much, KBD!

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Love it! Great composition!

That’s a lot of #humansofBlueSky!

Thank you, Marjo! The mud flats are an acquired taste — definitely not a grand landscape with breathtaking mountains, glowing icebergs, roaring waterfalls, or inviting forest paths

But for me, as a bird guy, they are a great feeding ground for wading birds. So, the gray muck is one of my things

Thank you, Marjo! You are kind

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Look forward to your findings

😊

Here’s one for #palacesandgardens.

It probably doesn’t qualify for either category, but the Plaza de España in Sevilla has the right vibe, especially on a sunny day in March.

What a beautiful place and with so much positive energy!

Thanks for the kind feedback, Den!

Here’s a late #urbangaze offering for today

I love this scene after a rainstorm in #Sevilla, una ciudad tan hermosa y fantástica

I really like the large puddle reflection, but couldn’t match it with sky above (seems I didn’t get the light right)

Still, a nice photo from one of my favorite cities

Thanks, Rob!

Hope things are well with little Chunk and family 😊😊😊

Lovely post and pic, Katherine!

Nice collection, Rob! The super-long egret necks can make them look to be the most elegant of all birds — then there are those other times…

Looks like a glorious day for a ramble, KBD! Lovely capture!

“Guys! Guys! Eyes over here please!

I swear, it’s like herding cats!”

A Black-bellied Plover (non-mating plumage) and his Little Blue Heron neighbor are not following the photographer’s instructions. Hmmmm. Very frustrating.

Story of my (photographic) life!

🤣🤣🤣

Good morning, Susan! Hope your busy Thursday is off to a great start!

I’d love a cup of the usual when you have a chance 😊

Have a good one!

Magnificent creature, Den! Very cool post of this wonderful encounter.

Glad you guys came to your understanding!
