I think about it on a WEEKLY basis how to get better versions of this shot. I'd really hoped to get it this winter but I'm not sure when there's going to be time given my upcoming schedule. Also I don't even own sneakers and a solid winter coat so... #BirdOfTheDay 🪶

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

shooting the moon; a near miss just like my tries in pinochle 🃏#moon

Here's my #least for the #BirdOfTheDay theme. This American Woodcock made an appearance on the edge of the woods in my yard last October. Pretty exciting to see!

This female cardinal was taking our first light snowfall in stride today. 🪶 #Stunday #birds

With a glare like that I'm glad I'm not a small bird or other critter! This ferruginous pygmy-owl is a small predator with a big appetite and like its northern cousin, can actually take down prey over twice its size. Central Brazil on a recent trip with @connielavon.bsky.social. #brazilbirding 🪶🌿🦉

Looking for something Halloween-ish and came across this image taken from the kitchen window a couple of years ago. Missing is the witch flying on her broomstick! Title: Moon Over Qemqemó (a.k.a. Mt. Ogilvie in southern B.C., Canada). #risingmoon #moon #astronomy #nature 🌿
