And for this glorious Monday.... #Blue #Mountains Even a bit of #ColorADay #PinkMon Not to mention #10MinutesFromHome May all your Mondays glow.... Would it be pushing it to claim there's a touch of #WeekPforPurple #AlphabetChallenge in the yonder below the clouds? 😉

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ComeEatWithMe, birds who have food in their beaks. Violet-green Swallow feeding its young. Though I'm not sure I'd want to join in on this particular feast. #birds #ECK #EastCoastKin

Must be that time of year again! ❤️🤣

Hoping to get in under the wire here... Alt is #CaptionThis a funny caption with any bird capture. California Quail ( #ABCD ) Splendour in the grass. #birds #ECK

Another #ForestFriday rolls around. Featuring new spring growth amidst the Redwood trees with Fairy Bells found in the understory. #EastCoastKin

I'm thinking this may sum up my existence for the time being.... it may explain my sporadic appearances or participation.

“Broke Down” Petrified Forest National Park/AZ #AlphabetChallenge #WeekOForOld #ECK

#TidesOutTuesday ...and the beach goes on as far as the eye can see... For good measure there's some pebbles in the bottom left corner for #RockinTuesday #ColorADay #BlueTue

A foggy sunrise at Jasper, Alberta After camping at Honeymoon Lake. A memorable trip across Canada from coast to coast. (September, 1979) #Stunday #EastCoastKin

April a time of re- #new -al #BlueSkyArtShow #new #EastCoastKin

A scene and a mood very close to my heart.

Our lovely moody coastline... #10minutesfromhome To quote @jeremyvoh.bsky.social‬ "The Oregon coast doesn't care what mood you're in. it'll be grey and ancient and indifferent either way. Just the way I like it." May it ever be so...

So many branches... reaching for the light. #ForestFriday #EastCoastKin #ECK

... in anticipation of #ForestFriday #FernFriday (it seems I have not much in the way of humans or urbans, by choice.) #EastCoastKin #ECK

Mt Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, with an elevation of 14,505 feet. #MountainMonday #EastCoastKin #ECK Not quite as impressive without clouds or alpen glow, but this was taken later in the day from a previous shot I posted. (attached) bsky.app/profile/zen-...

A bit of a stretch for #BlueSkyMonday or perhaps #MountainMonday or even #MinimalMonday #EastCoastKin #ECK

Sometimes a bit of fog is a good thing... other times, no so much. #Stunday #EastCoastKin #ECK

The Easter Egg hunt (sort of...) however you choose to celebrate. 🐣 #HappySunday wherever/whenever you are! #EastCoastKin #ECK

Can someone please tell me when the madness is over?

Let the sun shine in..... #BlueSkyArtShow #openings #EastCoastKin (or #ECK)

Let the sun shine in.... #BlueSkyArtShow #openings #EastCoastKin

There's just something about springtime when everything seems to wake up and sparkle.... Water flowing from the hills and red currant bushes and wild flowers blooming. I guess Forest Friday isn't just all about the trees. #ForestFriday #EastCoastKin

Big Leaf Maple catkins busting out all over... #SignsOfSpring #ColorADay #Yellow #EastCoastKin Just one of many marvelous signs of spring.

Native Dogwood Flowers in bloom for #TreeFlowers #Wildflowerhour

The hills are alive...🎶🌱🎶 Just a bit of rain brings a trickle of water falling down from the hills. #WaterfallWednesday #EastCoastKin

Visiting the Redwoods...... #ForestFriday #EastCoastKin

More from the Painted Hills... #ColorADay #RedWed #EastCoastKin

Painted Hills, Oregon #AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLayers #ColorADay #PinkMon #ECK

Looks like we made it to another #Stunday #EastCoastKin (or shall we say #ECK???) The sun puts on quite a show as it goes down on our seaside.

A few of the stone carvings I've done in years past. All of the carvings are fully three dimensional. #BlueSkyArtShow #Stone

Lost at sea..... #Scape #Seascape #fog #EastCoastKin

Happy Vernal Equinox to everyone! Some of you have had a tough winter, but looks like we may have made it through. Enjoy this look at a river that still remains mostly unsullied as the old growth forest has been protected as much as possible in this day and age. #ForestFriday #EastCoastKin

The emergence of Roland, who is extremely open-minded:

How about a pair of (RedTailed?) Hawks for today’s #BirdOfTheDay -theme #TreePerchers #EastCoastKin

Found in the wild...... #AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKaput #EastCoastKin

After the storm... Find the tiny person for a sense of scale. #RockinTuesday #TidesOutTuesday #EastCoastKin

Perhaps a #BlueSkyMonday and maybe even a #MountainMonday #EastCoastKin 😉

A bit of #blue for Monday...

I am often told that I don't get my horizon straight in photos I take. It seems my head tends to tilt as I look at the world which may account for it. Then again I have double vision both horizontally and vertically. So there's that. #BlueSkyArtShow #Horizontal #EastCoastKin

... and here it is - #ForestFriday once again. 🍃 #EastCoastKin

California Quail and a chicken. #BirdoftheDay #HeadShots

Know the feeling all too well! 😉

Rob Crank says: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying An Osprey - wings spread, definitely not flying. #EastCoastKin
