#Stunday Looking up at the Rockefeller Center, NYC. Seems to me that heeding this advice would make the world a much better place. #architecture #RockefellerCenter #NewYorkCity #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #streetphotography #EastCoastKin #Nikon

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 12: Something Sticky I'm sure that I will not be the only one to post this - but it's a great song by a great band so I'll use it anyway.

Coming soon: New hummingbirds This tiny beauty made her perfect little nest on my neighbor's wind chimes. When she showed it to me, I thought the bird and nest were a decoration, but they're real. 🥺 #BlueSkyArtShow #new #SmallBirdSaturday #EastCoastKin #ECK

One more for #BlueSkyArtShow theme #New: A Tailed Jay #butterfly, newly emerged from its #chrysalis, letting its wings dry before it takes its first flight. Little fascinates me more than the metamorphosis that they undergo.🦋 #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #naturephotography

@earsgato.bsky.social Hey you! I was just going through some of the collectable items in my walk-in closet, many are still not unpacked since my move a few months ago, and I came across this treasure. Thought of you immediately.

It's #Caturday, and it looks like Issy and Tess are getting ready for their debut album release. What should their musical duo be called??? #catsofbluesky #rescuecatsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #tuxedocatsofbluesky

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 11: An accessory for hair I'm reaching here, the meaning of this song does not pertain to hair accessories, but darn it I'm going to make it fit! 🎶She looked good in ribbons So just walk on in Tie a red, red, red, red, red, red ribbon...🎶 🖤🦇🖤

A #macro for #BlueSkyArtShow theme #New: This photo is not new, but when I took it this tiny new shoot of a #vine was. I could entitle this one either "Springing To Life", or "Spiralling Downwards". It all depends on your perspective. 💚 #ColorADay #GreenSat #Photography #EastCoastKin #nikon

Trump dismantled the US Forest Service on Tuesday. Replacing thousands of forestry professionals and scientists with political appointees as go-betweens for the logging industry and state governments. Our world is now less wild, smaller, and poorer. #photogrpahy #ForestFriday #USFS #nature

It's easy to focus only on the vibrant hues of an iris. But when you strip away the color, you notice the folds of the petals, the gentle ruffles at the edges, the beards, the buds... The distinctive form is just as captivating. #ColorADay #BWFri #FlowersOnFriday #FloralFriday #Iris #Flower

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 9: Found under a bed Not directly stated, but I think it's implied. (Plus any time is a good time for The Cure) 🖤🦇🖤

For the #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #grey: This little #Barbados #bullfinch was delightfully friendly. (Might have had something to do with the fact that I shared my breakfast with it every morning.) #bird #birding #wildlifephotography #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #sonyalpha

#LookAndSee #MusicChallenge #MusicSky As usual, the first thing that popped into my head… (Instrumental) youtu.be/vWD7k6TrJ-g?...

#readandplay #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but it's the person that came to mind… 🎶I will be watching over you I am gonna help you see it through I will protect you in the night I I'm smiling next to you In silent lucidity🎶 youtu.be/jhat-xUQ6dw?...

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 8: It smells "Interesting" Fun fact: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was named after Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre) wrote those very words on Kurt Cobain's bedroom wall, speaking of his deodorant that was named Teen Spirit.

This is just wrong. It has been warm- 22°C/72°F -and now this. Mother nature – you done messed up, girl. Family in BIM, please come collect me at GrantleyAdams. Island blood, can't take this. #snow #snowinapril #SomebodyPleaseSendMeATicketToBarbadosBecauseIAmNotEquippedToHandleNever-ending Winters

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 7: Something square This was a tough one. This is the only song I could think of. Not my favourite, but I think it fits the bill.

The #bunny didn't stop at my house this year – he wasn't needed. The kids are grown and over it now. For those of you who have children and are still living the bunny stage – I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you took lots of photos to remember this time. It is so fleeting. #Photography #EastCoastKin

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 6: Found in tool box 🎶Help I'm alive my heart keeps beating like a hammer… 🎶

For #Stunday: This #sculpture in Battery Park, #NYC always looked to me like four men on shore (not shown) dropping a fifth into the water to drown. It's meant to depict merchant Mariners rescuing a comrade. (It's all in the perspective.) #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #nikon

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 5: It makes you itch A little Canadian #IndustrialMusic representation to start your day. 🇨🇦 The repetition of "Aryan Yahoo" throughout this piece aptly describes your president. A perfect track to play outside of the White House at night. Loudly.

This is part of a stairwell in the New York State Capitol, Albany, New York [USA], a building designed by Henry Hobson Richardson. There are so many detailed little #Openings in the stonework! I think the design is extraordinary. 6 December 2022 #BlueskyArtShow #Richardson #NewYorkCapitol

My daughter works P/T at a Marshalls/HomeSense store and found this. It's a double-decker scratcher with da Vinci, van Gogh, Monet, and Klimt. Total score! They absolutely love it! 2/3 of my cats are enjoying it in this photo. Tess & Issy wish you a happy #Caturday #CatsOfBlueSky #cats #pixel10pro

We're only at day four- still time for those of you who have not been participating to catch up! Thanks to all of my friends who have joined in with me – it makes it a lot more fun. 🖤

My view, #ChateauLaurierHotel, #Ottawa, #Canada. So many #windows, so many stories. Openings not only into rooms, but into tales of love and lust, of secrets and lies. Each window whispers the voices of 124 years of history. #BlueSkyArtShow #Openings #Photography #EastCoastKin #classicmono

On the anniversary of the worst night of my life, I flew home to #Barbados. I was lost, broken. I sat alone by the sea under an overcast sky. The clouds opened up revealing a sliver of a vibrant #sunset. It felt like a sign. It felt like #hope. #BlueSkyArtShow #Openings #Photography #EastCoastKin

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 4: Unattractive clothing item 🎶Rebel rebel, you've torn your dress Rebel rebel, your face is a mess Rebel rebel, how could they know? Hot tramp, I love you so...🎶

There always going on about something or other.

For #FlowerFriday #FlowersOnFriday #FloralFriday: I adore orchids. But I have entirely given up on keeping them alive. I settle for admiring (and photographing) those belonging to my friends. #Flowers #FlowersOfBluesky #BloomScrolling #orchid #NaturePhotography #classicmono #nikon

For #FishyFriday: #Snorkelling in #Barbados. It felt a little rude just swimming right through this school of #SergeantMajors, but they seemed oblivious and unbothered. #UnderwaterPhotography #CaribbeanSea #NaturePhotography #fish #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #Olympus

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 3: Something soft If you don't know this one, give it a listen. This is a band that deserves much more recognition than they've received. 🎶You will be scared by your pillow…🎶 #EBM

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 2: Outdated Technology *Alternate* A cover of the last post by The Smiths, released 10 years later in 1996. The change in (now also outdated) technology is noteworthy.  🎶As the flames rose to her Roman nose and her *discman* started to melt… 🎶

#ScavengerHunt2 #MusicChallenge #MusicSky (Reposting as I noticed a major error in the hashtags) Day 1: Condiment sauce or spice Not sure if this is stretching at a bit, but it's the first song that came to mind. Happy April everyone! youtu.be/9hGcJA8fXvU?...

#MacroMonday This is the original colour version of the last photo I posted. While still monochromatic, and a beautiful red, I preferred the shot in B&W. Curious to hear opinions. #macrophotography #naturephotography #raindrops #branches #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

For #Stunday Wishing all of my friends here a very peaceful Sunday. @churchstreetimages.com, I'm shamelessly copying you because I too love and shoot statues, but it never occurred to me to use them for this amongst all the photos of sunsets. #Buddha #statue #Photography #EastCoastKin #sonyalpha

To all who are servants to a cat: I've stumbled upon an incredible find! I now have 3 of these little signs, the ideal solution for when you hear that hacking sound late at night, and don't feel like cleaning it up, but also don't want to step into it in the morning. #catsofbluesky
