A brief video of bedtime with Issy last night (#Caturday night). She's the first one of my three cats to claim a spot next to me every single night. How do they breathe when they are thoroughly faceplanted? How???? #catsofbluesky #rescuecatsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

One more for #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Clouds This one was a fluke. Shot Dec 4, 2025. That's the #SuperMoon behind very odd cloud cover. I didn't realize I was capturing a rare celestial event until later, I just found it quite pleasingly eerie. #ColdMoon #sky #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

For #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Clouds: I love how the clouds appear to be mirroring the waves at the edge of the Caribbean Sea. Nature never ceases to disappoint! #Photography #NaturePhotography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Barbados #CaribbeanSea #scape #seascape #EastCoastKin #sonyalpha

For #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Clouds Anyone else here an annoying passenger who insists on leaving the window open on airplanes to take a ton of photos? It can't just be me. This one looks like an endless field of snow to me. #Photography #sky #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #sonyalpha

#scape Friday Since it's been cold, I've not been out on the balcony at all. Last night I was walking past a window and did a double take. I thought for a second that there was a fire off in the distance. Nope, just a glorious #sunset. I wonder how many I've missed. #naturephotography #eastcoastkin

We've been hit by the worst snowstorm we've had in recent years. About 25" of snow fell onto the ~25"we already had. So it seems that Monday is cancelled for many. I took this brief video in the wee hours of the morning. This was the (absence of) view from my balcony. #Ontario #GTHA #storm

Last one for #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Cold: ( @churchstreetimages.com - you may now be regretting telling me I could post many 😂) I hate #winter but… it's impossible not to be amused by #Mallard #ducks, sliding on an icy #lake, like clumsy skaters! #winter #bird #birding #photography #EastCoastKin

For #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Cold: I hate #winter but… taking a close look at frost on glass through a #macro lens is truly fascinating. Almost like being inside of a geode, like looking through crystal. #winter #frost #ice #macrophotography #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

For #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Cold: I hate #winter but… I do love seeing #trees covered in #ice. There is something very otherworldly about it. They look as though they are made of glass. #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #sonyalpha

For #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Cold: I hate #winter but… I love when it feels like I'm walking through an Ansel Adams photograph. #trees #snow #classicmono #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin #sonyalpha

For #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Cold. I hate the cold of Ontario winters, it's terrible for my health. But there are things that I love aesthetically. I think the theme of my submissions this week will be "I hate #winter but…" in this case, I do love #trees covered in #snow. #EastCoastKin #nikon

#BlueSkyArtShow 2/2 As soon as I hear the prompt #vibrant my mind goes immediately to the tens of thousands of photos I have of butterflies and of flowers. Exercising self-control and limiting myself to one of each. #iris #flower #flora #bloomscrolling #NaturePhotography #EastCoastKin #sonyalpha

Between a nasty flu virus that knocked me on my immunocompromised ass, and the recurrence of severe clinical depression, I have been AWOL from both social media and IRL interactions. Trying to break the silence now. Hope that all my friends here are well. 🖤

The 60 Minutes episode Bari Weiss and The White House don't want you to see with their report on CECOT. Please watch or download and/or share it.

Cat parents will understand. Issy (shown here) wishes you a merry Christmas- so long as you (unlike me, resting on the couch) are actively catering to your feline overlords. Tess and Christopher are too high on catnip to care. 😉 #cat #catsofbluesky #rescuecatsofbluesky

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Just a friendly reminder from your chronic illness and chronic pain battling, clinical depression stricken friend, who is missing many people this holiday, but attempting to paste on a smile for the teen. Just be kind to everyone. It's really not that hard.

#readandplay #musicchallenge #musicsky Not sure if I'm taking it too far, it's about an STD, but it's the first song that popped into my head. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Happy Christmas @savemeaseat.bsky.social - and thank you for all of the challenges this past year! Nirvana - Mexican Seafood youtu.be/DgGb7oULss8?...

#LookAndSee #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Not exactly a depiction of this image, but I think it's the right kinda mood. Happy Christmas Eve, everyone! Big thanks to @catfreak.bsky.social for the fun challenges this year! Tom Waits - Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis youtu.be/a1v7HakNz4E?...

#readandplay #MusicChallenge #MusicSky I'm not much for Christmas music, especially this year – I am just not feeling it. I think this one will have to fit the bill. The Ramones – I Don't Want To Grow Up youtu.be/1Tpu_XoNABA?...

Another for #BirdOfTheDay prompt #AboutTheKids A closer look at the goslings. Shot from a distance – I know better than to approach goslings with their parents waiting to attack! #canadagoose #geese #goslings #birds #naturephotography #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

For #BirdOfTheDay prompt #AboutTheKids Mom and dad Canada goose protecting their two goslings- and if you've ever met a Canada goose, you'll know that they mean business! #canadagoose #geese #goslings #birds #naturephotography #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

And finally, for #BlueSkyArtShow prompt #OpenHouse, my fave #architecturalphotography post of the year. A congratulations to @churchstreetimages.com on one year of challenges. Thank you so much, my friend! They have have made a dark year brighter. (Now playing Mountain Song in your honour. 💙)

Again, for #BlueSkyArtShow #OpenHouse, my favourite #landscape that I posted this year, shot at my favourite place on the entire planet, #Bathsheba, on the #Atlantic (east) coast of #Barbados. #Landscapephotography #EastCoastKin #coral #boulders #seascape

Since this appears to be shaping up as a best of 2025, for the #BlueSkyShow prompt #OpenHouse, my favourite #macro posted this year. Tiny #flowers, and even tinier #insects (you may need to zoom). #Macrophotography #bloomscrolling #Tropicalmilkweed #EastCoastKin

Another for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme #OpenHouse. My favourite #underwaterphotography posted this year. #barbados #seaturtle #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Another #BlueSkyArtShow #OpenHouse One of my favourite #naturephotography shots this year. #butterfly #hibiscus #eastcoastkin

#BlueSkyArtShow #OpenHouse These two are what I am most proud of having "made". This is an old photo reworked. One has left and doesn't come home, the other will soon go off into the world. I've no clue who I'll be without them. Everywhere I look there are shadows of what once was. #EastCoastKin

Went to see The Cure: The Show Of A Lost World last night. So much fun! Great footage, great sound, and an amazing long set list- it's on the website, link below. Fellow #Cure fans, I highly recommend that you check if there are still seats available near you! #MusicSky 🖤🦇🖤 www.thecurelostworld.com

For #BlueSkyArtShow #FavoriteThings A glass #hummingbird ornament. I found it the first xmas after my mom passed and was very surprised – we don't get hummingbird xmas items here. They were her favourite bird. She passed in 2020 after a long battle with Alzheimer's. (more in 🧵) #Photography

lot of people don't like them, but I think that #gulls are truly beautiful birds. For #BirdOfTheDay (alternate choice- sorry @robcrank68.bsky.social - no Kingfishers with which to annoy @alan678.bsky.social 😂) #NaturePhotography #birds #birding #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Another unsolicited documentary recommendation, for my music pals in particular. "It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley" is undoubtedly one of the best posthumous documentaries I have seen- and I watch *a lot* of documentaries. It's streaming on HBO in 🇺🇸 and Crave in 🇨🇦. www.imdb.com/title/tt3496...
