Good morning. Thinking of family members and others who fought during The Great War 1914-1918. Remembrance Day. Beneath the burning sky they rest, names carried on the wind The sun sinks low to honour them, A fallen light for those who’ve gone. #RemembranceDay #photography #Sunset #EastCoastKin

@alan678.bsky.social 's #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #least . This Townsends Warbler wandered into my yard for a couple of days one summer and i have about 3 pics of it. There was a black phoebe too - but that pic is just a dark blur in a dark bush. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

for @mikoxford.bsky.social Bosque #StunDay #birds #photography #eastCoastKin - i am too short to get clear pics of the snow geese here - but still beautiful

@robcrank68.bsky.social 's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StandingOnThings with alternate of #gulls - so here are gulls(i think) standing on icebergs in Iceland. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #iceberg #landscape

natural patterns. when a wild turkey walks by close it shows an incredible array of beautiful feather patterns. #SensoryArt #Patterns #birds #DigitalArt #photography #EastCoastKin

@alan678.bsky.social 's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #TakeOffs -Bosque blast off - wasn't going to put it up, horribly underexposed and when i brought the light up the color went incandescent - but it catches that moment in the cold, the boom of thousands of birds lifting off as one. #EastCoastKin #Birds

@alan678.bsky.social 's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #TakeOffs - here is a beautiful SandHill Crane from Bosque del Apache, New Mexico #birds #photography #EastCoastKiin

As of today I have been a Wikipedia editor for 20 years 🧵of my favorite things I've seen and done in my two decades on the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit

@robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay is #Fighting birds - can't beat his incredible brawling herons - but here is a much floofier offering. taken at a workshop with Alan Murphy where he set up seed in the stump. #EastCoastKin #Photography #Birds

Wow, huge credit to Katie and the rest of the nutrition team at @centeronbudget.bsky.social. USDA has now issued revised numbers because CBPP caught them either accidentally or intentionally making huge errors that would severely underfund SNAP, in direct violation of court orders.

@alan678.bsky.social 's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LunchTime this one is kind of traditional - but still a favorite. really love Puffins. #photography #EastCoastKin #Puffin #Birds

#wordlessWednesday #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography

Iceland waterfall for #WaterfallWed #landscape #photography #Iceland

@robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay is #Closeups - so just for fun have some Cormorant feet (and tail). This one was sitting by a trail in Everglades National Park in Florida. #photography #EastCoastKin #birds #Everglades

#PhotoOfTheDay With theme #Reflection Night reflection in the fountain #photography #surreal I know i was in England somewhere when i took this - but i did a poor job of recording where it was. Perhaps Bath? hand held at about half a second. i love the painterly effect of the building's reflection

Jökulsárlón Iceland #BlueTue default blues on olympus cameras are intense and cyan. the icebergs in Iceland were very blue - were they this cyan? i just don't remember. what i get for not editing this trip soon after. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin

#longbeak for today’s #BirdOfTheDay @robcrank68.bsky.social California Brown Pelican (it was standing on a rock too - does it count if rock is off camera? oh - probably not) #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #pelican

Alaska mountains rise straight up from the ocean. #MountainMonday #MinimalMonday #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Photography #Landscape

If you need this, I hope it helps

If you have a grade schooler, maybe throw a couple of extra snacks in their lunchbox this week to give to the teacher, who will know which kids need them.

for @robcrank68.bsky.social 's #BirdOfTheDay #pigeons - a texas dove (hoping same family works) i loved the layers of different patterned feathers. #EastCoastKin #photography

@robcrank68.bsky.social 's #BirdoftheDay is #Underated. I was never very fond of Cormorants (unless they were catching fish) until i got some closeup pics and could see the details. #birds #EastCoastKin #SanDiego

just curious - my vision isn't great. i realized once posted that this pic didn't pop - so i upped the whites and the clarity and am reposting to see if it looks better. sorry for the redundancy #birds #EastCoastKin

Good Morning. SoCal high iso early morning birds. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #birdphotography #bluebird

Los Osos Oaks State Reserve - centuries old live oak trees #trees #scape #treescape #EastCoastKin #landscape #nature #photography

Out of curiosity, I looked to see if Chewy had a pet food donation program, and they do: www.chewy.com/g/give-back Enter your location and it lists area organizations, including pet food pantries, and their needs. Also seems to be a good place to start if you are in need of pet food too.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

@robcrank68.bsky.social ’s #BirdOfTheDay is #OddAngles - a blackbrowed albatross landed, walked over and stuck its bill up my pants leg (the black edge you see in 1 pic). both pics are full frame, minimum focus range. these birds have wingspread of 80-90 inches. #EastCoastKin #Photography #birds

We are up to 10 places. If you know of any more, send them our way and we can add to the list. www.oregonlive.com/food/2025/10...

Around the city and beyond people are looking for ways to help their neighbors who are losing food benefits as the government shutdown continues. Here are four restaurants that are doing what they can feed people in the community.

i gave up my weekly mochas to donate monthly

San Diego sunset gull for @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #Gulls #birds #photography #beach

spent some time in Los Osos Oaks park -- love the moody old growth trees. now i need to learn how to process them. There was a layer of fog, but none down on the ground still beautiful. #trees #photography #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #nature #naturewalk #WoodLand

Morro Bay Otter - somehow i never realized their hind paws spread out into flippers #EastCoastKin #BlueTue #Photography #wildlife #ColorADay #Otter #MorroBay

A reminder that you can donate to Wikipedia to keep human-sourced knowledge accessible.

Some folks asked where they can find their local food banks and pantries, so let's share some! Feedingamerica.org is a great place to start!

@robcrank68.bsky.social ’s #BirdOfTheDay is 'Pairs Of The Same Birds' and #DailyDouble #TwosDay so here are 2 sets of 2 penguins each - 2 Magellanic thinking about braving the waves and 2 Kings just hanging out. #EastCoastKin #photography #birds #wildlife

#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Heron - I think this may be a tricolor heron, though i don't see any of the reddish color at the base of its neck... taken in Florida @alan678.bsky.social #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #fly
