I had just commented on @getoutsider19.bsky.social that his post looked like a Christmas card. Your two pics are also Christmasy

🪶Today's #BirdOfTheDay, per @robcrank68.bsky.social, is the 'Family Paridae of Birds' which constitute 'Tits, Chickadees & Titmice',
My favorite shots of titmice are in snow, so here are two. #birds #photography

A titmouse on a branch in snow, which is accumulating on it.

An egret looking for breakfast on this #FeatheredFriday.

A great egret standing in a pond. Tall grass is hiding part of his body. The pond has reflections of the trees on the other side.

It is ridiculously sweet, they spend hours training the owls to fly, but the biggest laugh is when they walk.. Rafiki an African Spotted Eagle Owl is incredibly fast… running around, where as Kibo tends to plod along…. But Kibo does keep stopping to look at grass or leaves 😁..

There Be Witches Here 🧹

What stories might this house tell? A solitary dwelling perched on a hill beneath a sky in turmoil. Are its occupants still among ...

"An old wooden house stands weathered and worn in a clearing, surrounded by tall, thin trees with sparse foliage. The structure appears abandoned—its boards faded, its roof sagging slightly, as if bowing to time. The ground is littered with dry vegetation and fallen branches, suggesting long neglect and nature’s quiet reclamation. The trees rise like sentinels around the house, their trunks pale and upright, casting faint shadows across the clearing.

Above, the sky is surreal—a vivid turquoise streaked with dark, ominous clouds. The contrast between the eerie sky and the muted earth creates a haunting atmosphere, as if the scene were paused between memory and myth. The light is strange and theatrical, bathing the house in a glow that feels both sacred and foreboding.

This image evokes a sense of mystery and solitude, as though the house were a forgotten shrine or a threshold to another time." - Copilot

It's beautiful out. I wanted to do some gardening, but there's still so many bees & butterflies & grasshoppers. I don't want to disturb them.

Good morning & good week from Greece 🇬🇷

For our #orctober theme today here’s one from a new tour we have there in spring, the beautiful Ophrys aesculapii.

Please share your own #orctober pics throughout the month to make it a true floral festival (otherwise the feed will be full of orcs).

a cool foggy start, an overtime spider web weaving team decorating the entire area, a Hummingbird surprise (they are still here!) and the fall blooming lilac. The little things that I appreciate even more these days. Enjoy the day.

So, I’m driving along the #WestCoastHighway on #VancouverIsland, #BC 🇨🇦 one day when I make a wrong turn. And this is what I saw.

And then I thought to myself: sometimes in life you get off the main road, even if at first it seems like a wrong turn, & something wondrous awaits ✨
