An enduring favourite - Sproat Lake (Vancouver Island) after a snowfall.

#landscapephotography #landscapes #photography #snow #vancouverisland #canada #photographersofbluesky

Snowy trees and mountains, which are partially lit up by sun, surround a lake. A small island is present in the lake and reflected in the water.

so much is bad right now but the AI stuff in particular is making me insane. a desperate attempt to smother all human creative labor at an absurd cost to the planet by some of the most short-sighted, rapacious, and pathetic people who have ever lived

Liverleaves [Hepatica nobilis] really are one of my favourite wildflower species. Sometimes they tell little stories...

Don't they look like dancers?

1/200s, f/2.8, 180mm, ISO-125

#Canon EOS R5 + Sigma 180/2.8 macro

#wildflower #naturephotography #photography #macromonday #austria

A photo of group of Liverleaves [Hepatica nobilis] in the late afternoon. Only three Liverleaves are in focus - the two in the middle look like they are hugging each other. A fourth Liverleaf can be seen at the right, blurred because it is out of focus. A big bokeh circle above the flowers shows the silhouette of another flower. The leaves on the ground are blurred by more bokeh circles.

For #MacroMonday - my favourite of all my. #droplet shots. The sun hit the #droplets just right!

#BlueSkyMonday #MacroPhotography #photography #nature #NaturePhotography #EastCoastKin #canon #Photographer #reflections #Macro #water #PhotographersOfBluesky

Light hits two macro water droplets hanging from a branch. The background is very blurred branches and leaves and leaves are reflected in the droplets.

Hello from #Stunday in my corner of the world - I hope it's a good one. This little guy was posing! (Doesn't that look like a smile?)

#photography #NaturePhotography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBluesky #SundayYellow #WildlifePhotography #nature #TheLittleThings

A beautiful robin stopped to say hello. He has beautiful brown wings with a little bit of white, he has a vivid orange breast and face. His eyes are big and bright and the sun is causing bokeh in the background. The foreground is moss on the branch that he purched on.

It’s unassuming, but I’m proud of this shot of a glimpse of the inside of a shop in #EastVan.

A peek inside a dimly lit (pawn?) shop with items in glass cases and a variety of clocks on the wall.

Black and white long exposure shot of a person in motion blurred in the foreground. Shops and a car are in focus in the background.

I would be remiss if I didn't add The Thread, a list of hundreds of trans authors, mostly indie or self-published, that Abra Conwell has maintained for the past year and a half

Abra, The Everwife 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇲🇽🌼👻 @pairofclaws.bsky.social · Feb 22

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Abra, The Everwife 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇲🇽🌼👻 @pairofclaws.bsky.social · Feb 22

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

It's time for an #UrbanGaze...
Built in 1962, Seattle's Space Needle was created for the World's Fair. The theme was "The Age of Space", so yes, it was supposed to resemble a "quintessential UFO". (Photo taken from Seattle Center at about 1:00 a.m.)
#Photography #HumansOfBluesky #ThrowbackThursday

The Space Needle in Seattle at night. The sky is clear and filled with stars. Taken from Seattle Center, the trees below and some light pollution can be seen. The UFO look of the Space Needle is obvious from this angle.
