Supporting the wonderful Amalia @amvrpic.bsky.social theme #showheart give it a go and join in. Here’s me trying to do a heart in a forest on a winter’s night with a torch, camera and tripod for company. I emphasise trying to. Be kind, I photograph birds. 🤷‍♂️😂 #photography #EastCoastKin

Permitted Revolt Insurgents fill a form. To operate, conform. Now they are the new norm. Rebels attend a school. To follow all the rules. Now they are not the fools. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art

Collaborators Despots need craven band, To boost their grim command, With willing, trembling hand. Crimes need a common will, A shared, compliant chill, Where conscience is left still. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #tyranny #power #politics

'Alles was Fühler hat' #FotoVorschlag

Wenn quasi jeder noch lebende Holocaust-Überlebende eindringlich vor der AfD warnt und die Parallelen zu damals hervorhebt, muss #WeRemember auch heißen, diese Partei vom Bundesverfassungsgericht prüfen zu lassen, bevor es wieder zu spät ist.

Dies ist eine verlangsamte und kommentierte Version des Videos von der Ermordung Alex Prettis. Wer das sieht und immer noch von einem "Schusswechsel" phantasiert, sollte umgehend den Presseausweis abgeben. I'm looking at you, Tagesschau!

Guten Morgen Ihr Lieben 😘☕️ Habt alle einen wunderschönen Tag und passt gut auf Euch auf 🌞💕

Plausible Deniability He claims strict honesty, But offers truths enhanced For persuasive effect. His orations seem sound, Yet vital points are bent To serve his own design. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art

Strings The powerful court the rich. They fall from secrets held. A pact that is compelled. The system's hidden terms: Pay tribute or depart. It rules with practised art. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art

New Profiles in Courage The coward’s finest hour, His resolution sours. He hides in fear’s dim tower. First victim of panic, His nerves turn quite manic. His senses grow static. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyart #art #cowardice #politics #politicians

America, remember who your allies are and what sacrifices they have made for your wars. #greenland #nobelpeaceprice #europeunited #fudonald

Generalised The rule about exceptions, It too has an exception, A logical deception. Exceptions don’t break the rule, They simply prove it a fool, Showing it a clumsy tool. #poem #poetry #poemoftheday #poems #bluesky #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry #photo

A stretch of path, warm autumn light, and that calm feeling that only a late-season walk can give. #photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie #naturfotografie #gooutside #takeawalk #hamburg

A weathered birch standing at the edge of a quiet autumn lake. Soft light, still water, and a scene that only unfolds for those who slow down long enough to notice. #photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie #naturfotografie #hamburg

Two people, one bench, and a slice of autumn sun. Sometimes that’s all a day needs. #photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie #naturfotografie

A buttercup between rain and light — fragile, sure, present. Maybe that’s enough. #photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie #macro #naturfotografie #autumn

Tip-top Hip-hop Wordplay sparkles like sequins, Drawing every ear and eye, Words and beat lift spirits high. Wordplay as a skyline sprint, Where struggles and sharp skills meet, In the common, shared street beat. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #hiphop #music #beat

A last pale bloom in the autumn field — Scabiosa ochroleuca holding on, soft against the greying wind. Some flowers linger, not to defy time, but to finish their story gently. #photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie #bloomscrolling #botanynerdwanders

Small architects at work — where moisture and decay meet, mushrooms raise their quiet designs from the forest floor.

Pluteus cervinus — the deer shield. Just one fruit of a vast, hidden organism quietly recycling the forest from below. Light, decay, and renewal all share the same space here. #photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie #macro #naturfotografie #thesmallthings

Northern Germany in autumn — oaks and beeches still holding their gold, the air rich with leaf oils and soil scent. Each step slows the mind, each breath a dose of nature’s quiet chemistry. #photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie

A walk in autumn is more than a pause — it’s nature at work. Trees reclaim nutrients, fungi weave the soil, and the air fills with geosmin and plant terpenes, compounds that quietly steady our minds. Decay and renewal are never far apart. #photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie

Calliphora vicina, the bluebottle fly — not glamorous, but essential. It’s among the first to arrive where life has ended, setting in motion the quiet work of renewal. Every buzz is part of the system that never sleeps.

Nimbus contaminatus — a dung beetle found where beauty meets decay. Though it spends much of its life in the quiet work of recycling waste, here it pauses on a Scabiosa columbaria bloom, partaking briefly in the gentler business of pollination.

The Small Copper on a thistle — a spark that refuses to fade. Late in the season, it moves with unhurried grace, still tracing the memory of summer in each beat of its wings. #macroinsect #wildlife #naturemood #autumnlight #botanynerdwanders

Two stages of Scabiosa columbaria — bloom and afterlife. The lilac petals call to pollinators, and when the song is over, the seed head keeps the rhythm — quiet, geometric, alive in another way. #botany #wildflower #macroflora #naturemood #botanynerdwanders #thesmallthings #photographersofbluesky

The last day of October — clouds gathering like thoughts at dusk. Cumulonimbus towers catch the sun’s final fire before the long quiet of November. A sky between warmth and cold, light and shadow — autumn’s last exhale. #skyphotography #autumnlight #clouds #atmosphere #naturemood #botanynerdwanders

10,000 years of partnership — humans and Ovis aries. From ancient pastures to modern fields, sheep have given us more than warmth: their wool breathes, insulates even when wet, and renews itself with every shear. #wool #sheep #ovisaries #pasturelife #macroecology #botanynerdwanders

Silver-washed Fritillary (Argynnis paphia) on Hemp-agrimony. Orange wings flickering between sun and shade — camouflage by contrast, not by hiding. #macro #butterflies #botanynerdwanders #thesmallthings

Tagesblümchen 🌸 #DailyFlowers #Bloomscrolling #SchönesGegenDoofes

Eriothrix rufomaculata on thistle. A delicate body, an uncompromising life cycle. A beneficial predator in the meadow’s quiet system of checks and balances.

The Mirror’s Code An instruction manual, A mirror's signature, A flawed human nature? Quiet futility, A mirror polished fine, Reflecting a design. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #Photography #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyphoto

Over the Top Capturing mischief mid-flight, A toe dipped in, fears are born, And great floods are thereby sworn. Just a spark, a sneeze, a wink, Caught a drop, then fears begin, And sold as the ocean's win. #poem #poemoftheday #poetry #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #blueskyphoto

A spark of summer in autumn’s cold light. Small Copper on warm sand — tiny fire, still burning.

A paper wasp at rest. Not hunting, not building — just warming, sensing, waiting. Even the smallest lives have quiet hours. #photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie #macro #naturfotografie #gooutside #takeawalk

A close cluster of Coprinellus micaceus, the mica cap, growing like a miniature city on the forest floor. Folklore once called such gatherings the homes of forest spirits — and it’s not hard to see why. In truth, they rise from buried wood, quietly decomposing it into soil.

In the quiet dark, a colony of mica caps gathers on moss-covered wood — Coprinellus micaceus, quietly feeding on what has fallen, turning it into life again. #photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie #macro #naturfotografie #gooutside #takeawalk #bobergerniederung #naturereserve

A single feather, weathered by wind and time, still stands — a quiet testament to flight and the beauty of what remains. #photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie #macro #naturfotografie #gooutside #takeawalk #feathers
