For #WindowsOnWednesday: Looking out and into the windows of the #ChâteauLaurier in #Ottawa, thinking of all the history that each of these rooms holds. Over 100 years of stories whispered in their shadows. #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #PhotographersUnited #EastCoastKin #architecture

Another unsolicited music documentary recommendation: Nothing Compares, the 2022 authorized biography of the incredible Sinéad O'Connor. Between this and her autobiography Rememberings- which she reads herself on the audiobook- I gained so much insight into her life. www.imdb.com/title/tt1019...

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 30 favourites in no particular order. Day 8: Troy, Sinéad O'Connor, from her 1987 debut LP The Lion and The Cobra. I always loved this song but had attributed an entirely different meaning to it until I read her 2021 autobiography Rememberings. youtu.be/0c4v7fp5GC8?...

For #RockinTuesday, #rockface on a gloomy day, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, Southern Ontario. #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #rock #PhotographersUnited #EastCoastKin #sonyalpha

Hey music friends- if you haven't seen this documentary about Devo, it is a lot of fun. Airing on Netflix now, at least here 🇨🇦. #musicsky #devo #documentary #nocluehowtoadequatelyhashtagthis www.imdb.com/title/tt2721...

For #MacroMonday, a study of the interior of an orchid. Endlessly fascinating flowers. (It's just too bad that I cannot keep them alive. *sigh*) #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #PhotographersUnited #EastCoastKin #orchid #nikon #bloomscrolling #flower #naturephotography #macrophotography

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 30 favourites in no particular order. Mr. Robert Smith performs Mr. Alphabet Says on The Glove's 1983 LP Blue Sunshine. youtu.be/uQleyJlNZBY?...

This has me in tears. Such a tremendous loss- but such a life well spent.

#readandplay #musicchallenge #musicsky The second song that popped into my head. I try not to look at what's been posted and just go with whatever comes to mind first, but accidentally saw that @savemeaseat.bsky.social had already posted Lost Together by Blue Rodeo. 🙂 youtu.be/hZw23sWlyG0?...

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 30 favourites in no particular order. Day 5: West End Girls by Pet Shop Boys, from their 1986 debut LP Please. Expecting this to appear on many lists, and deservingly so. This one fits into my "overplayed for good reason" category. youtu.be/p3j2NYZ8FKs?...

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 30 favourites in no particular order. Day 4: Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order, from their 1982 LP Brotherhood. This is one of those songs that within the first few seconds transports me back to a very different time in my life. youtu.be/tkOr12AQpnU?...

For #BlueSkyArtShow, theme #Relax. This is how I relax now. On my balcony, watching the #sunset over the forest. Each one is different, and each one melts away my acute anxiety like nothing else can. #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #PhotographersUnited #EastCoastKin #sonyalpha

#readandplay #musicchallenge #musicsky Apologies for the two posts in one day, I'm playing catch-up and didn't realize my last post was for yesterday's prompt. Oops. youtu.be/sVzvRsl4rEM?...

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 30 favourites in no particular order. This remains one of my all-time favourite songs to blare and scream along with... Anything, Anything by Dramarama, from their 1985 LP Cinéma Vérité. youtu.be/b5HYwmaeeeg?...

Shhh... Christopher thinks he's hiding. He's not coming or mewing when I call for him, as he always does. Let's all just pretend we can't see him so he can win at whatever new game this is. 🙄 #catsofbluesky #rescuecatsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

For #ThrowbackThursday The first photo that I ever shot with my first DSLR, can't recall which model of #nikon, early nineties. I was a bit slow to give up film cameras. Still love them. #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #PhotographersUnited #EastCoastKin #BloomScrolling #NaturePhotography

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge 30 favourites in no particular order. Day 2: Cities in Dust, Siouxsie and the Banshees, from their 1986 LP Tinderbox. youtu.be/wsOHvP1XnRg?...

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge This is going to be tough- my 80s playlist is almost 47 hrs long. But here we go, in no particular order... Day 1: From the 1982 LP A Broken Frame, Depeche Mode, The Sun And The Rainfall (remastered in 2022). IMO one of their most underrated tracks. youtu.be/OL2tw2GDD-Y?...

When my grandpa died, I asked for only 2 things: the coins we counted repeatedly once #Alzheimer's had taken hold, and the magnifying glass that we used to look for #fossils when I was small. Here is the one I still have. A priceless piece of our history. #rockintuesday #EastCoastKin #classicmono

Brand new to me – and wow. Just wow. Incredibly powerful!

#5CoverSongsSwitch #musicchallenge #musicsky I could have kept going for months. There are just so many great covers! Thanks to @savemeaseat.bsky.social and @wecdsend.bsky.social for this idea! Day 5: A truly brilliant cover of Jeff Buckley's original. Give it a listen! youtu.be/HFWKJ2FUiAQ?...

Many don't have a choice about which road they take. They are simply propelled forward towards an ambivalent future, afraid. Please remember that not everyone has the privilege to choose their destiny. Be kind. Try to make everyone's journey a little bit easier. #BlueSkyArtShow #TheRoad

It's #Caturday morning and Issy woke me up from her perch on top of my pillow. She's both staring down and chattering at ghosties that only she can see. (Thank goodness she's here to protect me!) #catsofbluesky #rescuecatsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

#5CoverSongsSwitch #musicchallenge #musicsky It's going to be tough to limit myself to only 5, but here we go... Day 1 youtu.be/367C7L5A4BQ?...

#LookAndSee #readandplay #MusicChallenge Good morning. Taking a moment to acknowledge a blessing that came into my life this date 9 years ago. In my mid-50's and much to my surprise I volunteered as a mentor w/ Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America. What I thought would be a one and done year-long

#lookandsee #musicchallenge #musicsky youtu.be/snPDoXl9ZPs?...

Definitely agree with @savemeaseat.bsky.social - this is a RATM moment. youtu.be/9HdqMAXQtBo?...

#lookandsee #musicchallenge #musicsky I absolutely love this acoustic remake of the original - and this video of the studio session. Uncle Al always makes me smile. (And yes, to me every day is Halloween.) 🖤🦇🖤 youtu.be/QorKFQ50ZK0?...

Stalactites and stalagmites, and water from a freshwater spring flowing through the incredible #HarrisonsCave, way, way underground in #Barbados for #RockinTuesday. #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #PhotographersUnited #EastCoastKin #sonyalpha #naturephotography #cave

For #MacroMonday- a lone #hosta clinging to the last bit of warm weather, trying to spew out just a few more blooms before winter hits. I empathize with the sentiment. #MacroPhotography #PhotographersOfBluesky #PhotographersUnited #EastCoastKin #sonyalpha #bloomscrolling #flower

Canadians and Americans alike – this is 5 minutes well spent. We have a strong history of fighting fascist regimes – and we will not tolerate yours any more than we did the others. To our American friends, we stand by you in this assault against democracy. To the orange cult, elbows up boys.

My sunset tonight. They are starting to come earlier and the leaves are starting to change colour, although you can't see it here. While I love autumn, I am already dreading winter. Anyone else? #Stunday #Sunset #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #PhotographersUnited #EastCoastKin #sonyalpha
