todays redwoods appreciation

In South Africa's Cape Peninsula, a wave crashes against a cliff, in one of the world's highest impact zones. Freak waves occur rarely, but patience was rewarded and it came straight at my camera, exploding at least 5 m above sea level! #bluesky #photography #landscapephotography #nature

Some orchids are just plain different and a bit weird, like this flavescent form of Ophrys calypsus in Rhodes. The usual colours are washed out, and even its beady pseudo-eyes have turned green. With envy perhaps, as it surveys its normal brethren... #bloomscrolling #OrchidsOfRhodes #orchids

Hello #PurpleFriday

Had a couple of lovely spring-like days with blue sky and warm sunshine, plus the spring flowers are out to cheer everyone up. Now back to grey and drizzle - so that's good. #spring #flowers Pink primroses.

It’s literally my favorite time of year! 🌸🌸🌸 Spring is so full of hope for me better things are coming!

Yellow Horned in torch light. One of over a hundred, a few nights ago, on a Surrey heath. These moths seem to prefer fluttering along on the leaf litter more than most moths. Once near the trap they often freeze with their wings spread like this. #TeamMoth

“Dear self, I know some days the staircase feels very steep and like you'll never take the next step, but you're doing the best you can and for that, l just want to say I'm proud of you. Keep going. Love, me x” - unknown Have a day that’s perfect for you, my gorgeous Bluesky Stars 🌟💛🤗

Happy Thursday ❤️ Another cold day in Ontario but tomorrow will be a high of +6 c boy oh boy! Some Amanita's from the Fall 2025 showing off. Started some seeds and will attempt to have a veggie garden this year? We are surrounded by trees so finding full sun is difficult. 👇

I was taking photos of this #EasternBluebird when she decided to take off. She's a bit blurred, but I loved the ethereal look of her wings! (Norfolk, Mass. - 2/13/26) 🧚💙 #birds #thrushes #BirdOfTheDay #WideOpenWings #EastCoastKin #ThrushThursday #BirdPhotography #OM-1 #nature @alan678.bsky.social

We made it to Thursday! Smiles!! 🤓 #photography

Moonrise over the beach, 2020. The other light on the lower left was a fishing vessel just over the horizon. The beach is one of the few places on the east coast where you can shoot towards the east and not have to worry about light pollution. #astrophotography #longexposure #beach

Bodily autonomy is a human right. NO ONE should have their autonomy questioned or restricted, yet trans people face relentless attacks through executive orders, hate, bullying, and violence

Rise and shine! It’s time for crimes!

"The fleeting hour of life of those who love the hills is quickly spent, but the hills are eternal" ~ AW

Trees: we eat their fruit, they provide us with shade and they are nature's power plants, from the gas carbon dioxide that we exhale, they make the oxygen that we breathe. But above all, trees are beautiful and worth protecting - and the older they get, the more valuable they are

Lots of deep breaths, there is so much I can’t control. I have to let it go for just a moment.
