Jan's always a bit horrid. Cold, grey & damp, certainly if u live on our wee rocks. Trumps new years resolution to break absolutely everything both domestically & internationally means, I think, we need a wee splash of colour to try and bring some light to the bleakness🎨⛈️ #macro #macrophotography

#InsectThursday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbstract #Macro #MacroPhotography #Photography #EastCoastKin There's always a bee 😊🐝😉

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbstract #UrbanGaze #Photography So loving this weeks Challenge 😊 City lights whisper, Black cabs glide through rain-slicked street, Time breathes, then rushes.

#ColorADay #RedWed #RoseWednesday #BloomScrolling #Flowers Winter Rose 😊🌹❄️

#RockinTuesday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbstract #EastCoastKin #Ireland #NorthernIreland Stone listens where the sea keeps older stories, Salt-threaded ghosts passing hand to hand. Lives were given here like vows to weather and tide, And the shore learned the names of the lost by saying them.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbstract #Macro #MacroPhotography #photography #EastCoastKin Gotta love a wee raindrop Abstract Nature

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbstract #Macro #MacroPhotography #photography #EastCoastKin This week really challenging my editing skills - in a good way! Knew I'd get a wee #bee in somehow! 😁😂😉

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbstract #UrbanGaze #photography #streetphotography Loving this week! Such fun Neon breathes on stone, Footsteps blur into starlight City dreams in flux.

Venezuela is not just a regional crisis but a stress test. How the international community responds signals whether the rules-based order still constrains unlawful power - and no-one is calling them out - they've broken international law, they're a rogue state You know he is thinking where next👀

#Stunday #SundaySharing #Ireland #NorthernIreland #photography What was soft was taken away. What was left learned weight. Stone, salt, timber, road, all resting on old wetness.

For once I can contribute to #BirdOfTheDay #caughtinmotion - not as good as the fab photographers who take bird shots to the next level obvs, but do get excited when I can dip in #photography #EastCoastKin

#AlphabetChallenge #ThemeWeek #Ireland #NorthernIreland #EastCoastKin H for Heritage - just think of all the marvellous heritage from around the world we can share and immerse ourselves in My Heritage: Stone wall in salt wind, heritage held fast as land and sea remember those before us

#AlphabetChallenge #ThemeWeek #Macro #MacroPhotography #Photography #EastCoastKin Gotta a twofer for the harder letters X for Xenic (things relating to natural environment or habitat) Z for Zonal (showing distinct areas of colour and focus) And no I did not do a reverse search, not at all 😉😁

#Scape #EastCoastKin #Ireland #NorthernIreland #Photography The sea works at itself in a dim hush, black water shouldering the stones again and again. The island crouches, a held breath on the rim of sight, and the bird passes like a warning that isn’t spoken.

#FlyDay #EastCoastKin #Macro #MacroPhotography #Photography #AlphabetChallenge #ThemeWeek W for Wings? -not just bees - but birds and planes and angels and water wings and lots o other lovely things On the wings of love 😉💘

#AlphabetChallenge #ThemeWeek #macro #MacroPhotgraphy #Photography #EastCoastKin M for Mirrors? Tiny mirrors of the world held in a single drop 😊

#Photography #EastCoastKin #Ireland #NorthernIreand #AlphabetChallenge #ThemeWeek C for Clouds Evening comes low over the water, clouds shouldering in, blue-dark and slow. They drag their shadows across hedges and stone, stretching the day thin along the road.

#InsectThursday #macro #MacroPhotography #Photography #EastCoastKin A wee fella peers over the petal’s thin edge, eyes wide, antennae crossed tight, “Please be kind, 2026,” he sighs - after that year, I’ll take boring, dull, and polite. 😂🐛

You know I had to do it! Seeing out the year with a wee party #bee 😂🐝 #HappyNewYear lovelies 😘

#RedWed #ColorADay #Macro #MacroPhotography #BloomScrolling #Flowers #AlphabetChallenge #ThemeWeek How about week B for #Bokeh Buzzing into 2026 with sweet abandon

Happy Hump Day News Year Eve Day lovelies 🌹😊 Have a pretty #RoseWednesday with this summer #flower #bloomscrolling #photography Friendship, joy, warmth & new beginnings for a new year 💛

#AlphabetChallenge #ThemeWeek #UrbanGaze #Photography P for Portraits Faces optional. Identity not. Loads of ways to do portraits that do not necessarily include faces of humans and pets - Within a space that defines them Emotion rather than likeness The photographer’s shadow etc etc

#ClassicMono #AlphabetChallenge #ThemeWeek #Ireland #EastCoastKin #Photography W for Wind - lots of different type of imagery options Movement of Objects (like the only working windmill in NI!😊) Atmospheric Indicators Symbolic or Stylised Representations

Gotta a twofer for #AlphabetChallenge #ThemeWeek #MacroMonday #Macro #MacroPhotography #photography You know I love some R for Rain (obvs not just macro tho) or maybe some W for White

#ThemeWeek #AlphabetChallenge #MacroMonday #Macro #MacroPhotography #Photography Course I have to get a wee December bee in but I for Insect might work? I am thinking maybe allegories as well as actual: Persistence & Survival Collective vs Individual The Unseen/Ignored 🤔😊

#ThemeWeek #AlphabetChallenge #BlueSkyMonday #Photography #Ireland #NorthernIreland We have to revisit F for Film, it was such a great week and everyone had such a blast! The Lighthouse

Last one for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekZforZero #photography Clock hand pointing to 10 😊

#Stunday #SundayYellow #SundaySharing #BloomScrolling #EastCoastKin #macro #macrophotography And it was all yellow 💛😊

A forewarning for planned constitutional rupture. They would: Rewrite criminal liability Remove human rights protections Strip pensions of property status Redefine causation Politicise the courts Turn civil service into a politicised one Saying the quiet democracy destroying parts out loud

#Stunday #EastCoastKin #Ireland #NorthernIreland #Photography Each tide arrives, then slips away, Carrying the last light of yesterday, And in the hush of the turning sea, A new year comes in, gently, quietly.

#SundayYellow #SundaySharing #macro #macrophotography Show us yer bum 😉

'How a couple with 3 children earning just £10k a year could 'game' the system to pocket the equivalent of a £140k'🙄 Ignoring the benefit cap Inventing non-existent childcare payments Understating the earnings taper Literal BS Daily Mail Actual facts

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekZforZero #EastCoastKin #Ireland #NorthernIreland #Photography At zero hour the clock tower holds its breath in stone, Salt wind worrying the bell, working time down to grain. Donaghadee on Boxing Day

#Scape #EastCoastKin #Photography #Ireland #NorthernIreland Stone keeps its counsel in the salt-bitten air, while the bog breathes dark history up through my boots. Orloch Point

#Scape #AlphabetChallenge #WeekZforZero #EastCoastKin #Ireland #NorthernIreland Have a lovely Boxing Day 🥊 We are out for lunch which is splendid if somewhat daunting after the amount I managed to shovel in my gob yesterday 😂

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekZForZero #Ireland #NorthenIreland #Photography Xmas lunch anyone?😉🦃

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekZforZero #Ireland #NorthernIreland And not a bee or raindrop in sight 😉

Tice was just on LBC suggesting for Special Educational Needs Provision the CofE should do the kids a solid & offer them 'educational space' in empty churches rather than them accessing the spaces they already have cause you know the ambition to return to a pre security net age continues apace

#BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin #Photography #Ireland #NorthernIreland Strangford Lough Ferry at Dusk

Have a pinktastic #MacroMonday #macro #macrophotgraphy #photography There is always a raindrop and I see the face of Xmas present in this one 👻😉

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekZforZero #MacroMonday #Macro #Photography Welcome to the wee #bee olympics 0 jumping event of 2012 😉 And now I will behave myself. (He won gold btw 😂)

#Stunday #EastCoastKin #SundaySharing #Ireland #NorthernIreland #Photography When you live in zone 1 but this is in your DNA Home for Christmas 🎄😁

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekYforYearPast #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Photography #Ireland #NorthernIreland The land holds fast, black with salt and spade, While the Irish Sea keeps breathing at its edge.

Did they ever nazi back in the day before their rotten nasty soulless ambition took over so hard that they would be complicit in covering up the identity of paedophiles, rapists and sex traffickers?

Not the best #bee capture I have ever taken. But I caught this #weebee on my #LunchtimeWalk TODAY! So very excited😂 So for #FlyDay wee fella hot off the press #EastCoastKin #macro #Macrophotography #photography Bee on the 19th December 👀 Winter love bombing the last flower still standing 😉
