"The natural grace* and beauty of cats make us truly stunning to behold. You may now scratch us behind the ears," say Perry and Rhubarb. #ECK #Photography #BlueskyPhotography #ClassicMono #Stunday *I'm sorry Rhubarb, but you're actually a loveable klutz. Though still stunning!

I almost forgot this photo. Something round and rusted (what? I dunno) found on the shore in Poolepynten, Svalbard. July, 2025. Thanks for posting those cannonballs, @alinagrafik.bsky.social #EastCoastKin #Photography #BlueskyPhotography #BlueskyArtShow

Perry and Rhubarb would like to say hello! Perry is ignoring me, as usual, but Rhubarb is clearly wondering what the heck I'm up to. #EastCoastKin #Photography #BlueskyPhotography #Caturday

Good morning from Norwich Vermont! The #Round morning sun was shining through the trees and clouds, so I decided to join #BlueskyArtShow after all. Have a great day, everyone. #EastCoastKin #Photography #BlueskyPhotography #Winter #Vermont #Nature #ForestFriday

This is a companion shot to the one of Barnard I posted on Friday. Same time of day, but different direction, and totally different feel. On Silver Lake, Barnard Vermont, February 2026 #EastCoastKin #Photography #BlueskyPhotography #Scape #Vermont #Stunday #Snow #Winter #Sunset

Extra photo for today: I was out for a walk and met neighbors putting sap buckets on the maples. The start of sugaring season, spring is on its way! #EastCoastKin #Photography #BlueskyPhotography #Scape #Vermont #BlueskyArtShow #Wood

For fun, today I went for "Woodhenge". An entertaining exercise in timing the angle of the sun, getting a starburst effect, and sitting in the snow! #EastCoastKin #Photography #BlueskyPhotography #Scape #Vermont #BlueskyArtShow #Wood #WeekFForFramed

Ok, it's a barn. But it's not *just* red, it also has *yellow*. And non-grey clouds! #EastCoastKin #Photography #BlueskyPhotography #Nature #Trees #YellowThu #Vermont #Sunset #RuralPhotography

Red!* In winter! In Vermont! Not a barn! So happy. #EastCoastKin #Photography #BlueskyPhotography #Nature #Trees #RedWed #Vermont #Sunset *OK, pinkish orange...

Which trunk is thicker?!? It's a toughie... #EastCoastKin #Photography #BlueskyPhotography #Nature #Trees #ThickTrunkTuesday

Need some color! We actually had a nice sunny day here a about a week ago, and blue skies to go with it. The moon made an appearance too. #EastCoastKin #Photography #BlueskyPhotography #Nature #Scape #Landscape #BlueSkyMonday #Vermont

Some personal news: I'm starting partial retirement on July 1, and will be fully retired three years later. Good thing I'm starting a hobby! I'd like to say thanks to the wonderful #EastCoastKin community, which has been so gracious, kind, and welcoming. #EastCoastKin #Photography
