Foggy morning sun shines through some seed-thingies hanging from a branch in front of a foggy meadow. Bare branches at the top of the frame. Contours of a building in the back.

Zonsopgang boven een rimpelend meer met hoge rietpluimen op de voorgrond, warm goud licht dat over het water weerspiegelt onder een zacht bewolkte lucht.

There were days
when winter wrapped the world
in quiet, #timed beauty
each snowflake
a whispered blessing

But now
the earth begins to stir
and we must say goodbye
to the hush of frost
to make room for spring
who comes
barefoot
and singing

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore, captures of 4 or more birds in 1 photo, the Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue in its plumage.

Great Tits and Blue Tits love the new feeder.

A Lakeland scene across Ullswater in the English Lake District, Cumbria.
Taken on a cloudy autumnal November day.
The prominently featured red berries in the foreground are hawthorn berries (haws), typical of local hedgerows during autumn and winter.
In the slightly blurred background is a partial view of a grey Ullswater lake and the surrounding fells.
There is an autumnal hue to the colours on the fells.
The sky is full of light grey clouds.

A tight flock of red knots sweeps low over the shoreline of Lough Foyle, their pale winter plumage glowing creamy white against a soft blue-grey sea. Wings are fully outstretched and slightly blurred with motion, revealing silvery underwings edged in darker tips. Their short, straight bills point forward in unison as they bank together, yellow-green legs tucked neatly beneath streamlined bodies. Droplets of water hang in the air below them, suggesting they have just lifted from the tideline, moving as one coordinated wave over the calm coastal waters.

Interesting facts about red knots:
	β€’	Red knots are remarkable long-distance migrants, travelling up to 15,000 km between Arctic breeding grounds and wintering sites as far south as Africa and South America.
	β€’	In breeding plumage they turn a rich brick-red on the chest and face β€” a dramatic change from the pale grey winter tones seen here.
	β€’	Lough Foyle is an internationally important site for wintering waders, and red knots rely on estuaries like this to refuel on shellfish and small invertebrates.
	β€’	They can almost double their body weight before migration, storing fat to power nonstop flights over vast distances.
	β€’	Red knots often feed by touch, probing mudflats with sensitive bills to detect buried prey without needing to see it.

Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has said today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore, captures of 4 or more birds in 1 photo, the Alt theme is #Blue, Blue in its plumage. Gone with Red Knots, migratory shorebirds, visit here in winter from arctic regions. #birds #EastCoastKin

Winter mountain landscape at Fontainemore in the Aosta Valley, seen from a coniferous forest. The sunlight, framed in the center of the photograph, is diffused and softened by the haze.

The evening sun creating orange hues as it peers between cloud banks over lake Huron. Chantry Island and its lighthouse are seen in silhouette. The sunlight reflects on the wavy lake surface.

Im Vordergrund liegt ein kreisfΓΆrmiger Bereich im Watt, der von Wasser umgeben ist und eine dunkle, schlammige Struktur zeigt. Der Himmel ist von warmen Farben durchzogen, mit einem tiefstehenden Sonnenball links und feinen Wolkenstreifen. Die Wattlandschaft spiegelt das Licht und zeigt zahlreiche kleine WasserflΓ€chen und Schlickinseln. Die Szene vermittelt den Eindruck von Weite und Ruhe, wobei das runde Element im Watt und die runde Sonne am Himmel die Komposition bestimmen.

A vertical image of the night sky over a lake. In the foreground are several slats of a wooden dock. The galactic core rises in the center of the image above the wooded far shoreline of the lake. Green and purple air glow can be seen alongside the bright galactic core. The lake is perfectly still, allowing the reflection of the galactic core and stars to be seen.

I'm getting the itch to get back out to shoot the night sky again.
