Calling it a day. A late entry for #WaterWednesday. Lake with all kinds of watery blues and a Merganser(?) mixing things up. Good night!

Posting early for #WeirdWednesday So, this? Wallpaper at grandma's house? No, frost on my car making interesting patterns the other day. It could be worse. Tomorrow there's a chance here that I may be shoveling slush up to my ankles. At least I didn't have to shovel the frost. Stay warm out there.

Okay, one more. #BirdOfTheDay #SideViews A big guy, taking a look around.

Okay, one more. #TongueOutTuesday Caught him just at the right time, for a change!

#RockinTuesday My favorite. All these rocks to hold up one small tree. Great stuff. Bryce.

Hmmm. Sudden locked out of the other place. I knew they would catch up with me someday. Anyone else having trouble? Maybe it's a good thing. I will try to scale the wall tomorrow.

Found this picture that fits for #BlueSkyMonday and #TwosDay Two Turkey Vultures, posed against a blue sky, waiting to see if I survive my walk again or become roadkill. Have a great week.

#BirdoftheDay #BirdsOnTwigs When does a twig become a branch, and vice versa? As usual, I will let others decide. Here is a Bluebird on his twig, and he found a twig with berries. Bonus!

Sunday should be #Stunday, but I'll post these for "non" #Stundy, as in "not stunning." Could never quite get my camera settings right to capture the bright moon the other night and came up with these. If, for any reason, you come back to look at them again, you may want to wear sunglasses.😆

Early post for #Stunday. My shots of the recent "big" moon were so hideous that I cannot bring myself to post them anywhere. Here is an older, moody image of the moon that came out a little better. Have a great week.

#BlueSkyArtShow #sky Mine, a sky with a little of everything, and a small buoy in the water. Have a great rest of your weekend.

#BirdOfTheDay is #movement? Sure, why not? One of my "happy accident" images. I was trying to take a picture of a Bluebird on a branch and instead got a picture of him doing a nosedive!

#HumansOfBlueSky Thought about asking this guy if it was okay to take his picture before I did, but worried that distracting him might end up with him getting conked on the noggin. That's how old I am, I use words like conk and noggin.😄

So one of today's hashtags is #Scape. Okay, if it is possible, here is a river scape. Enjoy your personal scape today!

#WhateverWednesday So, we have another "special" moon coming tomorrow night. How often do I actually get a good picture of one of these? Seldom. How many moon pictures do I already have? Far too many. Will I be out trying to take moon pictures tomorrow night? You bet your "moon" I will!😆 Good night!

#WindowWednesday. When I see these, I always think about the guys who made them. Construction as art. FWIW

Another one of my famous (infamous?) picture series—animals trying to escape getting their pictures taken. Why am I posting it? I don't know either.🤪

#WindowsWednesday Another of my favorites. Mine, windows that are not really windows.

#BirdOfTheDay theme is birds #LookingAtYou? Here is a little bird looking at me, but it is not what I would call a friendly look . . .

"To be nobody but yourself, in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting." e.e. cummings Keep fighting. Good night.

I love #TextureTueday, so why do I always forget it? Wait, I know, because I always forget everything?😁 Water texture with leaf interrupting. Now what were we talking about . . . ?

For this week's #RockinTuesday, just a little rock with a simple message.

Just heard that #BirdOfTheDay is #reflections. I cannot resist a good reflection picture. Here is mine, now I will go and look at all the good ones!😄

Just found this picture and thought it would be another good one for #BlueSkyMonday. An impossibly blue sky with a Cardinal providing a smidge of red. Smidge? Today I've also seen the words “Writery,” “Squidgy,” and “Assholery” on social media. Is this a weirdly great place or what?!😄

#BlueSkyMonday Trying to get mentally prepared to go out on my morning walk. Temperature is 9 deg F. It's all good. Eagle taking off against a blue sky. Have a great week.

Missed #Stunday! Here is a late picture of a tree at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, stretching its roots over to shore for a little help.

Mark Twain’s birthday. He lived his life in such a way as to supply him with an endless supply of things to write about! His words carry over to today: "It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly American criminal class except Congress." Mark Twain

Up way too late. Should not be up doom-scrolling and rage-posting. One good thing is that people are posting images of nuthatches—Why? I don't care. One of my favorites! I will post this one and hit it for the night. GN!

#scape for today's hashtag. Mine, a Great Lakes scape, with a lighthouse way out there to give it a focal point. Copper Harbor.

Watching "The Wizard of Oz." (Trying to recover from food coma, please don't judge me!😆) One line in it by the Scarecrow stood out: "Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking." I will let you fill in the blanks on this one. Hope you all had a great day.

#InsectThursday Another one I can never remember. Here is a flower with a variety of insects on it, so you can take your pick.

One more post before trying to get some sleep before the holiday. #WaterWednesday, the frozen kind, and it is coming. This formed from water dripping down to form an icicle, and water pulsing up from underneath to make the "bulb."

#WoodpeckerWednesday Never remember this one! Since the day is half over, I will post only part of a Red-Bellied Woodpecker, trying to hide and keep watch at the same time.

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #OnTheEdge? Sure. This little guy had one withered leg and was still keeping up with all the other hyperactive birds on the beach.

My "Don't let this happen to you" image. It also might fit for #WeirdWednesday tomorrow. A picture of my stovetop, really, after Thanksgiving dinner some years back. As wild as this may look, dinner came out okay. I'm hoping that this year runs a little more smoothly! Good luck, everyone!😁

#RockinTuesday Mine, flowers versus rocks, with some small flowers breaking through to add a little color to the rocky landscape.

So #BirdOfTheDay theme is #HangingAround? I have this one! Oriole, hanging around, trying to steal a drink from the hummingbird feeder, and spilling a few drops in the process. Hang in there.

Window with one brick shy of a load, revealing small patch of blue for #BlueSkyMonday. One bridge shy of load—could this be a metaphor for photographer's posts? I will let you decide. Let's keep hoping that the new week brings a little more sanity.

Heard now that #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Mr&Mrs. Not sure if this is Mr. and Mrs., but they are feeding each other, so I will hope it is.

One more fall image for #Stunday tomorrow—a reflection of fall trees of various kinds and colors, made all wiggly by wavy water. Have a great rest of your weekend. The week of eating far too much is near!🦃

Wow, there is a lot of great photography on BlueSky this morning! Don't know why I feel compelled to say that. I will head out with my camera soon, and whether I take any great pictures or not, I will be glad that I went. Have a great weekend.

So, #BlueSkyArtShow #small I have far too many images for this theme. Here is a really big sailboat, looking small with red sails in a very blue Bar Harbor.

Just saw that for tomorrow the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #birdonawire. Better post something now or I will forget by then!🤪

I don't know where all the people came from on here suddenly who are posting images of old, dilapidated buildings, but keep up the fine work. They are cool. Every one of them. FWIW

Also #scape Friday. How about paver scape? All I think about when I see these, besides how cool they are, is how much work had to go into them. Yikes.

#FoodOnFriday The pie season is coming. Yes!

#HumansOfBlueSky Okay, not really humans, but glowing models of humans that will be showing up on lawns everywhere in about a month?😄

#Urbangaze A roundabout in Paris. I was never so glad that someone else was driving!

I was out walking at the park today and came across this guy. Some people and animals do not like to have their pictures taken. I am judging from the look on his face that he is one of them. Be careful where you point your camera, and have a great week.

#BirdOfTheDay #round I like this idea. Here is a "looking up" view of a Cardinal that has not missed many meals lately!
