Streeeetch My hummingbird friend from the other day also did some nice stretches. I think she may have colluded with @robcrank68.bsky.social and @alan678.bsky.social on upcoming themes. #BirdOfTheDay #stretched #SmallBirdSaturday #birds #EastCoastKin #ECK #OM3 #PhotographersUnited #photography

This isn't great photographically, but for bird lovers, it's quite a sight! I took this in Titusville, Florida. In the photo, you can see Great Egrets, a Wood Stork, Roseate Spoonbills, Snowy Egrets, White Ibis, and 2 alligators. #BirdOfTheDay #BestOfTheMonth #birds #nature #photography

On this day in 2021, I went on a spring #wildflowers hike in Nerstrand Big Woods State Park. What a magical day in the woods! Hoping to go next weekend before the trout lilies are gone. #BlueSkyArtShow #ShadowPlay #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #Flowers #Bloomscroll #Spring #StateParks #Nature

For #ButterflyWeek 🦋:💟 There's so much to learn about #life from butterflies; lessons about metamorphosis and change, about living a full life even though it's a short one. I think the most important thing I have learned from butterflies is this: Even with tattered wings, one can still fly. #ECK

Enjoy this Friday dear friends! Fijne vrijdag lieve mensen. Foto van vorige week #photography #fotografie #fotografía #bloomscrolling #elkedageenbloem @willybs.bsky.social

These windows hold a memory of a marvelous day. Exploring Mia with my 8-yr-old granddaughter, discussing artwork we liked. Listening to her rattle off scientific facts about animals, bugs, oceans. “I love this day, grandma.” I do, too, sweetheart. #WindowsOnWednesday #EastCoastKin #Photography

I was approached last fall from the local PBS about a documentary on the Mpls West Bank I did in college–30 years ago! (They found it on the school’s YouTube channel.) Not sure how much footage was used, but I’m excited to be a part of something that captures the rich history & culture of West Bank

"Superior is a sea. It breeds storms and rain and fog like the sea. It is cold, masterful, and dreaded." -Rev. George Grant Calm waters after a winter’s storm. Gale force winds. Fierce, wild waves. A whiteout. And then…this view. #Edge #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography #EastCoastKin #ECK #LakeSuperior

Ever get the feeling you’re being watched? Took this a while ago but it made me smile. Some cows standing at the #edge of a field, peeking as I walked along the beach with my dog in the evening. #BlueSkyArtShow #silhouette #photography #ECK

In Celtic folklore, the song thrush is a sacred messenger between worlds, often representing hope, creativity, and the return of light. Its distinctive, repetitive song was believed to be the preferred music of the fairies. #BirdOfTheDay #Speckled #Nature #Birds

Thought the magnificent cemetery turkey that guards my great grandfather’s grave would be perfect for today’s #BirdOfTheDay #speckled theme. He owns this section of Lakewood. Trespassers beware!! #Photography #EastCoastKin #ECK #Birds #Minneapolis
