For today's #BirdOfTheDay , I've gone with the 'green' prompt. I've never kept a parrot of my own, but we had an African Grey when I was a kid. And I have a fondness for these birds. #Birds #Parrot

The wren was sacred to the Druids, who used its complex songs for divination. The Irish name dreoilín and Welsh dryw both link the bird to the word for "Druid" or "seer". Art my own. #WrensDay #BirdOfTheDay #Folklore

Honored to have had a Barred Owl decide my backyard was a safe place for a late afternoon snooze. #bird #birdoftheday #birdsofbluesky #blueskybirds #owl #barredowl #birdofprey #photography #nature #wildlife #canonphotography #blueskyphotography

I am from Georgia and this pisses me off but it should send shockwaves throughout the entire country. They are about to use my state as the staging ground to sow massive amounts of chaos into the population’s confidence that our elections are secure, thus resulting in people not bothering to vote!

The Larch trees along the western edge of the North York Moors take a battering from the winds, which leads to some beautiful forms. This one appears to be guarding the way… a scene from a dull November day, with plover flocks swirling. Ink and watercolour painting. #art #nature

My interpretation of The Walk for Peace using a watercolor technique called line and wash. The monks walking from Texas to DC are inspiring in a time of near hopelessness. #walkforpeace #watercolor #myart #originalart #blueskyartshow #artwork #monks #peace #hope
