Someone requested it and he played it, and said that's it for at least another 30 gigs 😀

Just had to take a photo of this perfect looking Amanita muscaria lurking on the dark woodland floor! 🍄 📷 🌿

Wishing everyone a good weekend ahead 🕊️

A photograph of a Fly agaric mushroom that has a bright red cap that is covered in wart-like white spots which are remnants of the white veil of tissue that at first enclosed the young mushroom, and are sometimes washed off by the rain. It has a white stem with a bulbous base. Native to the UK. It is poisonous and infamous for its psychoactive and hallucinogenic properties!

Friday is #SCAPE Day

So i'm combining it with #WeekOforOpulent of the #AlphabetChallenge to show Heaton Hall in all four seasons of its exterior opulence

Sadly its interior is a very different story

A collage of 4 colour photographs showing Heaton Hall in Heaton Park, Manchester through all four seasons of the year taken from roughly the same viewing spot. Heidi border terrier is present in the foreground on each shot

This forest is not on fire.

#hiking #nature #photography #EastCoastKin #Ireland

A messy forest view of fallen branches and downed trees. Parts of the branches are illuminated so strongly by the morning light that at first glance they look like they are on fire.

My cohost Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has announced #BirdOfTheDay is 'Juveniles/Chicks'

I’m going with a juvenile Robin at the risk of being repetitive. Love them.

We hope you understand. Thank you. 🙏

A close-up of a Juvenile European robin perched on a broken branch, its orange-red breast puffed out and feathers slightly ruffled. The bird’s dark eye catches the light as it gazes upward, with a backdrop of soft green foliage in dappled shade.

Forgot to say Good morning in my first post so 👋. For #FlyDay I’m going with a Curlew flying low and fast over water on the shores of Lough Foyle. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A curlew flies low over a sandy shoreline, its long, curved bill pointing forward and patterned brown-and-cream wings outstretched in smooth flight. The blurred blue waves and wet sand beneath create a soft, natural backdrop that highlights the bird’s graceful form.

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.
