This #robin was singing his heart out until he spotted me. Then there was a sudden silence, but he waited long enough to get his photo taken. The River Bann is in the background.

A rocky foreground with a little stream running into the sea across a small beach. Beyond is a small headland and there's blue sky with some clouds above.

Backward glances
shuddering sighs
Erasing footsteps
sad goodbyes
Fading moments
soften with age.
Blurred memories
turning page.
Time slows
skies of blue.
Each of my
passing days.
Begin
and end.
With thoughts
of you.

Omens, Verrès. The photo (taken by Claudio) shows a small blonde woman wearing jeans and a black hoodie, standing next to a large tree in an autumn landscape. In the background are other trees, mountains, and a blue sky.

'Bovine Confined'

Shared a powerful and intimate moment of quiet contemplation with this beautiful animal one morning in Leyburn.

Sparty 🖤🤍

This mono photograph captures an intimate, dramatic close-up of a cow, its face partially obscured by the stark, horizontal lines of a metal enclosure. The composition utilises a shallow depth of field and high contrast to draw the viewer directly to the animal's right eye. The cow looks directly at the viewer, an intense and soulful gaze that evokes a sense of confinement and perhaps a quiet plea. The eye itself is a focal point of clarity and life amidst the surrounding darkness and bright overexposure of the background sky. The animal's ear is visible near the top left, bearing a small, rectangular identification tag with the number "500108" clearly legible, a small detail that reinforces the animal's status as livestock. The overall mood is one of quiet contemplation, a stark juxtaposition of the soft, organic form of the animal and the harsh, rigid lines of the man-made barrier. The image uses shadow and light to create a sense of depth and emotion, transforming a simple scene into a piece that speaks to themes of captivity and connection. The shallow focus makes the cow's eye incredibly sharp, while the rest of its face, particularly the lower portion, dissolves into deep shadow. The texture of the metal bars is rough, adding a tactile dimension to the shot. The composition is tight, forcing an immediate and unavoidable confrontation with the subject. The cow's expression is ambiguous yet powerful, leaving the interpretation of its feelings entirely up to the viewer. This photograph is a testament to the power of simple elements—light, shadow, form, and line—to convey deep and complex emotions. It is a moment of quiet observation, frozen in time, inviting a prolonged engagement with the subject and its environment. The image is a visual narrative about boundaries and the life that exists within and beyond them, a poignant reminder of the barriers that separate us from the natural world and each other.

Annapolis, Maryland (U.S.)
A peaceful morning at Acton’s Landing Park in Annapolis, Maryland, where Spa Creek meets the Chesapeake Bay. A dark-hulled tugboat with a light blue and white pilothouse is moored at a dock in the foreground, its silhouette perfectly reflected in the calm, mirror-like water. Bare winter trees frame the left side of the image. Across the glassy water, residential homes and other boats dot the distant shoreline. Above, a blue sky is adorned with delicate, wispy clouds that streak across the frame. The morning sun brightens the upper right corner, casting soft light across the serene waterscape.

The image shows a group of mushrooms growing on a mossy tree stump in a forest. The mushrooms grow amid bright green moss covering the upper part of the dark, cracked tree stump. Blurred green leaves and branches can be seen in the background.

Good morning/ afternoon/ evening. Today’s #BirdOfTheDayTheme is #warblers any member of the warbler family and the alternative is #yelloweyes any bird with yellow eyes. Hope everyone is well, once again apologies for not being around. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A small Sedge Warbler stands sideways on a thick green stem, its body angled forward as if ready to move. The bird has warm buff and tan plumage with darker streaks along its back, a pale belly, and a distinct cream eyebrow stripe above a dark eye. Its slender beak points ahead, and its thin legs grip the stem. Soft green leaves frame the upper left, while the background fades into smooth, muted blue-grey blur.
