Hello friends! Happy #BlueSkyMonday, #MacroMonday, & #MountainMonday! How are you?🙋‍♂️ It’s about 6:30am 🕡 EDST here and 🌤️. I’m making our rich & aromatic #BlueBrew coffee for the coffeehouse community. Who’d like a cup? ☕️ Please do stop by & say hello! 👋 We close at 10:30am 🕥 EDST #ECK

Look, I did say I had I had more pictures, didn’t I? Well, at the risk of being told to buzz off … #WeeBee #Poppy #MagentaMonday #Bloomscrolling #AlphabetChallenge #WeekXforXyloid #MacroMonday #Insects #ECK #PhotographersOfBlueSky

Folks I’ve tried to get Rob but he’s maybe driving. I’m out walking the dog. So I’ll post the #BirdOfTheDay theme and it’s #YourChoice any bird capture. No alt. I’m sure you’ll all find something. 😂 I’ll always pick a Jay for mine. #birds #photography #ECK

Per @alan678.bsky.social Folks I’ve tried to get Rob but he’s maybe driving. I’m out walking the dog. So I’ll post the #BirdOfTheDay theme and it’s #YourChoice any bird capture. No alt. I’m sure you’ll all find something 4 captures from last week. #birds #ECK #photographersunited #photography

This little cutie asked to be posted for this week‘s #AlphabetChallenge because it fits the theme #WeekXForXyloid so well. #pareidolia #wood #naturephotography #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #ECK

Goodness me, I was admiring the newly opened purple #Poppy by my garden fence just now when I saw a rustling in the filaments. Out pops a #WeeBee. Click, click, click. Many photos. #MagentaMonday #Bloomscrolling #AlphabetChallenge #WeekXforXyloid #MacroMonday #Insects #ECK #PhotographersOfBlueSky

Let’s make a big splash this week. Dive in and join Anna and Sabine in a wonderful celebration of water.

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... I’m not sure how many of my bird watching friends, including BOTD’s Alan and Rob, are also BBC Radio 3 listeners but this week fellow birder Tom McKinney is presenting his breakfast show live from East Anglia. Today’s programme is a cracker. Catch it on BBC Sounds.

Thanks to Robyn for all her work collating the art challenge cheat sheet and a special shout out today for the spiffy new look. Ain’t it grand?

Your new art challenge cheat sheet for June 15–21! Hope you like the new format. See comments for host list & details #EastCoastKin #ECK #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Photography #DailyArt #Art #Painting #Drawing #ArtChallenge #ArtPrompt #dailyart #TraditionalArt

Like a surge of artist’s oil paint, bursting from the palette, demanding to perform on a canvas, a new Poppy thrusts itself free of its green casing, starting its journey towards brief summer stardom. #PaintByWords #MagentaMonday #Bloomscrolling #MacroMonday #ECK #PhotographersOfBlueSky

Appearances can be deceptive. This delicately beautiful pink rose, Scarborough Fair, is one of the toughest, with staying power that has it flowering all summer. #ColorADay #PinkMon #ECK #PhotographersOfBluesky #photography #ArtYear #dailyart

Good morning! Have a beautiful day! Guten Morgen! Habt einen schönen Tag! #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #ArtChallenge #BlueSkyMonday

Good morning to #BlueSkyMonday everyone, have a wonderful day and week ahead. #flowers #bloomscrolling #naturephotography #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #ECK

Next week is going to bring another hot spell here, so what’s better than enjoying some refreshing #WaterPlays for our #PalacesAndGardens? #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #ECK

Happy #Stunday! Northern Lights near Mefjord on Senja Island in Norway. Shot with Pixel 8 Pro because I couldn't figure out how to shoot with my real camera. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWForWater #EastCoastKin #ECK #PhotographersUnited #photography #MobilePhototography #ArtYear

Have we seen many #WeeBees today? A few. Many clear shots? Negative. #BlurBee? Let me look through my file. Won’t take more than an hour. #BugsOfBluesky #Insects #Nature #GardensUK #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

It may be late in the day but, because Soph says so, here’s a #WeeBee 🐝 plus a bonus tiny little critter, muscling in on the bumbler’s territory on a yellow Poppy. #YellowSunday #Insects #Bloomscrolling #Macro #MacroPhotography #Bee #ECK

Is it Neptune rising from Lake Michigan or Lion the King claiming the beach? A comical documentary split-second capturing a fluffy dog mid-shake. The centrifugal force turns its fur into a majestic, dramatic mane. Pure accidental comedy #luiscordobapharchive #lake #chicago #stunning #joke #dog #pet

Some days you just need to find a quiet corner, sit and stare into space. If you are a #Pigeon, a rooftop and wooden fence will do nicely. For Alan’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #SilentPresence moments where a bird appears calm, watchful, or contemplative. Or just bored. #birds #photography #ECK

Throwing in the kitchen sink. No drama. Last post of Sheena’s enjoyable #WeekWForWater #AlphabetChallenge #ClassicMono #Photography #MobilePhotography #Art #EastCoastKin
