Me pretending to be a Christmas Fairy in a golden bauble. I made sure to wear my red coat for this. Good morning everyone and have a fabulous Thursday! #PalacesAndGardens #RedGreenGold #ArtAdventCalendar #ArtOfSelfPortraiture #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

This ceremonial sleigh belonged to Queen Luise of Prussia and her husband Friedrich Wilhelm III. It is a richly carved Baroque‑Revival showpiece, combining virtuoso woodwork with emblematic Prussian motifs in a warm green‑and‑gold palette. #PalacesAndGardens #RedGreenGold #ArtAdventCalendar

Would you like to have the moon on a string? Check out the account of @ticl.me! Such great photo!

I‘m not the biggest fan of snow anymore because of slippery roads or hazardous driving conditions, but looking at Mila‘s @mila83.bsky.social wonderful photo almost changed my mind.

A fiery color for the cold season. #ColorADay #RedWed #SensoryArt #seasons #ArtAdventCalendar #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Just for show, we’ve got no snow. #ArtAdventCalendar #SensoryArt #seasons #pattern #WindowsOnWednesday #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

What can you do if you don’t have a picture of French hens? You take half a dozen lively German ones and hope to get away with it. Good morning everyone, you know I love a clever workaround, don’t you? #XtraXmas #FrenchHens #ArtAdventCalendar #ColorADay #RedWed (combs and wattles) #EastCoastKin

These two are surely no #TurtleDoves but they were billing and cooing in the morning sun, before they began preening their plumage, so I kept an open mind because they also have the necessary #stripes for #BirdOfTheDay #XtraXmas #ArtAdventCalendar #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

The glow of Christmas lights is the smile of the holiday season. Good morning all, have a wonderful Tuesday. #ColorADay #BlueTue #ArtAdventCalendar #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Stunning view into the country posted by Robyn @handcranked.bsky.social for #BlueSkyMonday and #MountainMonday. Love the different shades of blue in this photo.

Gloria @rideintothesunset.bsky.social shares some wonderful Monday wisdom.

Living in the Cotswolds Laurette @laurette1.bsky.social takes wonderful landscape photos that are always balm for the eyes. Enjoy!

Love these, not only for Christmas, but all year round. #ColorADay #PinkMon #ArtAdventCalendar #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Last day of this week’s #WeekVForVowels in Sheena‘s @sheena-mck.bsky.social #AlphabetChallenge. Thank you for a really nice theme again. As it’s the first Sunday of Advent, I settled for #Angel. #photography #ChristmasSpirit #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

And now to something completely different. A frozen bird bath turned tiny universe: ice bubbles drifting in a deep blue basin like distant stars and newborn planets, a reminder that even the coldest mornings can hold a little wonder for #Stunday. #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness. - Anne Frank - Welcoming the Christmas spirit on this Sunday morning, the first of Advent and wishing you all a happy and peaceful day. #Advent #ChristmasSpirit #photography #ImageAndVerse #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

It’s getting Christmassy. Have a cozy evening and a good night everyone. #Christmas #decoration #light #evening #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Half a dozen cuties patooties for Rob‘s @robcrank68.bsky.social theme #SixOnSaturday. They are also perfect for the #BlueSkyArtShow because their endearing charm radiates #warmth. #birds #cynets #swans #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

I can’t but marvel at the endless variations of Laurette‘s @laurette1.bsky.social posies in a little jar. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

With this I’m taking you to a quiet little town where as a child I spent happy times at my beloved grandmother. It’s interesting for something completely different, though. 😉 See ALT text for more. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVForVowels #organ #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

I love your Funny Face your sunny, Funny Face Though you're a cutie with more than beauty you've got a lot of personal-i-ty for me... Couldn't help but share the adorable video with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. Happy #caturday to you! #photography #cats #EastCoastKin youtu.be/9xo1onGh3us?...

Good morning everyone, let’s take this message to heart and have a great day today. #motivation #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Here we go for #HeadShots, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme. The gull wouldn’t smile, though.

Good morning dear friends of #PalacesAndGardens, I’m up and about to join you on your walks as one of the #People strolling through the parks and gardens of the world. So keep your eyes open and look out for me. #photography #ArtYear #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Does that pass for convenience food? This bird obviously has its lucky day, and Rosemarie @roabrams.bsky.social spotted it just in time to share it with us.

Sweet dreams are made of this… 🎶 Great atmospheric shot by Mick @mickfitzgerald.bsky.social today.

Just a little reminder for everyone interested and the friends of #PalacesandGardens.

If you want to brighten up your day and need a break, watch this touching video with the cutest little puppy discovering its paws by @huntnfish8.bsky.social.

Just saw this stunning photo Scott @scottbath.bsky.social posted for #WindowsOnWednesday. Perfect in capture and caption! 👌🏻

A beautifully framed and enchanting landscape photo by Laurette @laurette1.bsky.social that looks like a painting.

Here’s some very healthy mangold for #RedWed. In the ALT text you find a description and a delicious recipe for a quick salad. Enjoy! #ColorADay #healthydiet #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

This week‘s #AlphabetChallenge is all about nouns beginning with vowels, so here’s a nice egret with E for #elegance. Accidentally it also fits Alan’s @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #OnTheEdge. The more, the merrier! #WeekVForVowels #birds #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Good morning everyone, starting the day with something funny, the result of a kindergarten project of 5-year olds I saw at a friend’s for #WackyWednesdayArt. Have an amusing day! #NightmareNov #scary #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Tried #HangingAround myself first, but it’s boring, so go for the #BirdOfTheDay instead. My app says, it’s a two-barred crossbill. It’s pretty small in the photo, so I’m not sure.
