Now how are you going eat it?

#BirdoftheDay is #Beakful or #Wading. (Although you can’t tell, this #Heron is also wading.)

A great blue heron has speared a fish with its lower beak. It stands against a marshy greenish yellow background.

Happy #Invertober day 11!

Dark fishing spider (Dolomedes tenebrosus)

Another master of disguise. I deepened the shadow beneath a bit so that it was visible 😂

#SciArt #Invertober2025

Drawing of a mostly black and white spider that is patterened in such a way that it almost disappears into the gray, black, and white tree trunk it is on.

Digital drawing of a white cat sitting in a garden. There are layers of flowers echoing the blue, pink, and white colors of the trans flag. Blue hydrangea at top, pink roses, white snowdrops, pink daisies, and finally, small blue flowers among the grass at bottom.

Sharing a painting from my Marshlands series for today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme #glow

Tisha Mark ©2024, Standing in a New Light, oil on linen, 20"x20"

#art #painting #TraditionalArt #bsnm

Original marshlands landscape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Standing in a New Light" 20"x20" oil on linen (2024). Landscape painting featuring an orange-toned sky with atmospheric cloud formations appearing to rise up from the first light of day over a coastal marsh. Subtle light and color from the sky reflects in the water, and plays off the textured marsh grasses.

The #moon behind clouds.

The almost full moon shines through wispy clouds which fill most of the frame. The clouds have a yellowish tinge.

Good morning. Time for the #BirdOfTheDay theme and it is #Beakful , so anything in the beak from food to nest material and the alternative is #wading Good luck!! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A female European Stonechat with a warm orange-brown breast and a light brown head perches among green leaves, holding a few wisps of dried grass or straw in its beak. The soft, blurred background highlights the bird’s detailed plumage and the delicate strands it carries, giving a sense of nesting activity in a calm natural setting.

Not too tired, but I’ve forgotten how to spell and I forget words and there are times I can’t remember what I was just doing (that might be the fog).

Today is #scape day.
I wish my mind was as calm and as focused as this.
Ever since my last bout of Covid, I feel I’ve lost part of my ability to think 😔

#Birdoftheday is juvenile or fledglings. See how hungry the little fellow is! Mom flew back and forth numerous times, bringing little bugs. Dad was gone for ages but would then show up with a huge bug which he’d try to shove down their throats. 🤣

I only make it to the beach once a year, and it's on a busy work trip. But I always make time to get down to the water for a few pics. #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Relax all day Saturday. Link to the feed in comments.
