A hazy Chicago #scape taken from Montrose Point.

#StormHour #cityscape #landscape #Chicago #architecture #BlackAndWhite #BlackAndWhitePhotography #BlackAndWhitePhoto #Photography #AltText
A view of downtown Chicago taken from Montrose Point. The photo has been cropped to a 15:5 ratio to create a long panorama of most of the downtown cityscape The foreground consists of prairie plants and tall grasses. Lake Michigan is visible just above the foliage in the foreground. Above the lake is downtown Chicago including iconic Chicago skyscrapers like John Hancock Tower, Sears Tower, etc. The cityscape is very hazy and the haze partially obscures all the buildings in the frame with some buildings in the foreground in sharper focus. There is a clear but hazy sky directly above the cityscape.

Photograph of an American bald eagle in flight with a brown riverbank with patches of green foliage in the background. The eagle is flying to the right in profile. It has its wings out to the side and it’s back hunched, its wings sharply bowed, and its head bent up indicating that it is trying to fly upward. Bald eagles have brown body feathers, white head and tail feathers, clear, light yellow-green eyes with large pupils, yellow-orange beaks that curve downward to a point, yellow-orange legs, and yellow-orange feet that end in sharp black talons.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdsOnTwigs - any bird on a thin branch. This red-winged blackbird found a tall stalk from which to survey his domain. It was a windy day so he had to hang on tight.

A male red-winged blackbird clinging to the top of a single, thin stalk that is bending under his weight and swaying in the wind. In the background, blurred waterfront houses and a pale blue sky.

A solitary white yak grazes quietly beneath the vast Himalayas, its heavy coat glowing against golden autumn trees and the immense sweep of snowy peaks rising in dramatic contrast behind it.

Platinum blonde with dark roots.

It was a cold -4°F day on the river but I'm always bundled up when I head out. Didn't really notice the cold till I went to drink some water and had a dribble form an icicle on my beard 🧊

Photograph of an uprooted tree stuck on the overflow of a small dam. The tree extends from the top of the curved dam overflow in the upper right frame to the lower right, where it's exposed brown roots are suspended over the turbulent outflow. Except for the roots the tree is coated in heavy ice and a large mass of icicles hang below it, both formed from the cold temps and the spray from the turbulent water just below. The ice has a slight yellow tint due to the large amount of organic material in the river's waters.

A fluffy cream-colored kitten with vivid blue eyes lies nestled against a soft, blurred background. Its darker facial markings and gentle gaze evoke a sense of warmth and cosiness, Ragdoll breed.

I thought the festive lights reflected from a cobbled street in the centre of my old town looked magical in the rain this evening. The video I took on my phone really doesn't do it full justice though 😔

For #BirdoftheDay, here's a tiny #borb bouncing around in a fir tree. I find it hard to photograph golden-crowned kinglets because they don't sit still, but this one kindly came close enough for a video.

If I fits, I sits.

Caught this white pelican sunning on the Iowa River yesterday. No wind and blue skies but -4°F temps so a good day to stay in the sun.

Photograph of an American white pelicans sitting on an exposed rock amid partially submerged rocks in flowing brown river water that reflects the blue sky above with a male and female mallard swimming in the water in the foreground. The pelican is in the upper frame and is facing right in profile. The pelican is somewhat larger than the rock it is resting on with parts of its body extending over the sides. The male mallard is in the lower frame and the female is in the middle frame and both are swimming right in profile. American white pelicans have white body feathers, black feathers on the edge and tips of the underwings, a long orange bill with a rigid top bill and a pouch like lower bill that expands to capture underwater fish, blue-grey eyes that are surrounded by thick, wrinkled, orange flesh, and orange legs and webbed feet.

Photograph of a gray squirrel clinging to the side of a tree with heavily textured bark with an out of focus gray overcast sky. The squirrel is sideways on the tree and is facing the camera with its body against the tree. Only the squirrel's head and upper chest visible with the rest of its body behind the tree.

Gold leaf with tricolor sea slug iris beard for #MacroMonday .

#PhotoHour #flowers #gardening #nature #NaturePhotography #macro #MacroPhotography #photography #AltText
Extreme closeup of a purple, white, and yellow iris beard or "signal" on top of a purple with white mottling sepal (aka a "fall") and next to a vertical shiny gold petal or "style arm". The beard extends from the top of the sepal and down and back into the space between the horizontal sepal and the vertical style arm where it disappears into shadow. The beard is made up of long thin filaments with rounded ends. The filaments are purple at the base, transition to purple part way up, and transition to yellow halfway up and to the tip.

July in the North Atlantic on MV Classina

It was either blowing a hooley or mind-blowingly beautiful

View from the deck of the ship while crossing the North Atlantic Sea. The sea is calm with lottie waves but no white horses The sky above us was blue with high white cirrus cloud but with dark cumulonimbus clouds in the distance warning of what was to come. The sun is reflected on the sea from the horizon to the boat twinkeling on the wave tops
