Good morning, Bluesky☀️

It's been a while, but I'm happy to be back and contributing to #BirdoftheDay #GoodLight with this photo of some #Sandpipers taken yesterday at sunrise.

Wishing you a lovely Friday.

#FlyDay #EastCoastKin #birds #photography #photographersofbluesky #AtlanticOcean #Florida
5 Sandpipers in various flight positions fly just over the light blue, sunlit, Atlantic Ocean. Small swells and white foam make up the foreground, and more blurred small swells and ocean make up the background.

The image shows two small dragonflies in the unique mating wheel position on a wire rope. The mating wheel is shaped like a heart. The background is green water.

Backlit shot of a European white stork on a green meadow. Its feathers, ruffled by the wind, glisten in the light. The damp meadow sparkles.

For #flyday here's a damselfly on the leaf litter of a forest floor. It was watching me closely. #bugsky #insects #nature #damselfly #wildlife

#Bloomscrolling #Penstemon #Insect #Bee For #FlyDay I have chosen sunnier times, in July; a little bee zeroing in on a Penstemon Blossom.
A bee in flight approaches a blue blossom. The bee with a dark face, has a gold coloured thorax and an orange striped abdomen. It is flying towards a flower stalk with multiple blue blossoms all on the left side of the stalk. In the shaded background are blurred blooms and dark green areas.

This year, I’m hoping to get over my fear of birds in flight —
mostly by letting the camera do the hard work 📷✨😅🪶
今年は飛翔写真が苦手とかいう甘えを克服したいッ‼️🤔

Two large birds flying against a clear blue sky. A white-tailed eagle with broad wings and mottled brown plumage is flying in the foreground, while a black kite is flying higher in the background. 青空を背景に、2羽の大型の鳥が飛翔している。手前には幅広い翼とまだら模様の褐色の羽を持つオジロワシが飛び、奥にはトビがやや高い位置を飛んでいる。

Here's one for #FlyDay and #Birds 🪶, and a Snowy Egret and its reflection. Might also be good light too, but I'd probably describe it as nice light. Another from the first outing with the OM-3.

A Snowy Egret, just taken off and flying over calm grey water - with a clear reflection of its underneath. Wings spread, yellow-backed legs and feet trailing and long neck stretched forward. Soft light on a very grey day, but at least the rain had stopped.

I just had to do a silhouette of the pose.

Ducks fishing in a lake. Their bottoms and tails are above the surface pointing up. With orange feet, both have their left foot paddling, and the right foot is sticking out above the water. Their white underside is facing, including tail feathers. They are creating ripples on the surface. In the distance are two people in a reddish canoe. The forest surrounds in the background. The tops of grasses are peeking out at the bottom of the image.
