Rosemary Beach, FL 🔆

#Abstractia #Repetition #Stairway #Lines #Beach #EastCoastKin
A weathered wooden stairway (from beach to condos) with painted bannisters built on the edge of a green scrub-covered sand dune with three platforms to break up the angle of the incline. The sides of the buildings can be seen with a patch of blue sky at the top of the frame.

"The world is full of places. Why is it that I am here? This place, this time? But you are here. The world is where you are."
— Wendell Berry
An abandoned pair of wooden structures tucked into a forested area. One is a larger cabin‑like building with weathered boards and the other is a smaller, more dilapidated shed. They sit just beyond a guardrail and a narrow body of water, with dense evergreens rising behind them.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Bluebells dancing with sunlight!

Through a gap in the trees, the sunlight found a path to illuminate the forest floor. The bluebells welcome the sun and dance.

A red-tailed #hawk showing off his gorgeous colors for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme. #Posted #Birds
#EastCoastKin #ColorADay #OrangeSun #Stunday #NaturePhotography #Wildlife
A powerfully built bird with brown and buff plumage, a dark orange tail, large yellow feet, and a hooked beak is turned face forward as it grips the top of a weathered fence. This is a red-tailed hawk, one of the most widespread hawks in North America. He startled me when he landed on the fence as they tend to stay high in the trees if anyone is is around.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Serenity and the alt is #blurred captures of birds in movement. Here's a gray #catbird serenely surveying the world from atop a fence and a female house #finch with blurred wings flying in to join the party. #Birds #EastCoastKin #SmallBirdSaturday #NaturePhotography
A gray catbird surveys its surroundings from atop a weathered fence partially adorned with ivy vines. A brown female house finch with blurred wings flies toward a seed-filled feeder to join a red-headed male house finch (partially obscured) and a brown-headed nuthatch.

So I think Rob may be resting after having problems with his back so I'm going to announce today's
#BirdOfTheDay theme and it's #Serenity serene bird captures. The alt is #blurred blurry captures of birds in movement. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A juvenile swan floats on calm blue water, its brown-tinged feathers and pale neck glowing in warm golden light. A thin strand of aquatic weed hangs from the side of its pink-and-black bill, with small droplets of water falling back to the surface. Gentle ripples surround its body, and a soft reflection shimmers beneath it, while the smooth, dark water behind forms a clean, uncluttered background.
