Adorable young male bluebird, the same one from the last post. He and the others roost in this bluebird box in the evenings.

Adorable young male bluebird, one of eight young bluebirds I have at my home. Some of them are from the last brood that fledged a few months ago.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

It’s Friday so it’s time for a #scape I’m going with another Autumnal one. Have a great day wherever you are in the world. 🌍 #photography #EastCoastKin

A gentle hillside covered in golden grass and tall trees with autumn foliage, their leaves glowing in warm amber tones as sunlight filters through the canopy. The soft light and upward view create a peaceful woodland scene filled with warmth and quiet beauty.

A small bird with a black and white striped head and back and black and white spotted feathers (female downy woodpecker) grasps the mottled brown and gray bark of a red tip photenia. There are more branches and lime-green leaves in the background.

Good morning, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #spotted now that can mean when you have been spotted by your subject or a bird that has spots or blotches on it’s plumage. I was #spotted by a European Robin yesterday. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A European robin stands alert on a patch of mossy ground, facing directly toward the camera. Its vivid orange-red breast and face glow warmly in the sunlight, contrasting with its soft grey and brown plumage. Bright green blades of grass frame the foreground, while the background fades into a dark, softly blurred woodland scene.
