Good morning everyone

Golden aspens meet fresh snow under stormy skies — the perfect clash of seasons in the Colorado high country.

Long exposure of storm clouds moving up Colpoy's Bay, Ontario shortly before sunrise. There's a yellow band of light on the horizon for #ColourADay #YellowThu.

Colorful buildings line the street. A single tree grows with yellow leaves up the front of one of the houses.

A medieval castle ruin perched on a rocky cliff overlooking a calm sea, with dramatic, cloudy skies in the background. The landscape showcases greenery and rugged terrain along the coastline.

Black-and-white photograph of the steps and square in front of La Grande Arche in Paris. Numerous people are sitting on the steps, and the lines and shapes on the ground, together with the walls of La Grande Arche, give the image an exciting geometric structure.

A brick-red gable on a shingle-covered roof in southern France crosses the picture. Behind it, other houses and the cloudy sky are blurred.

#Relax on Route 66, Winslow Arizona

#AlphabetChallenge #Night #BlueSkyArtShow#photography 📷 #americana #route66 #neon #AZ

A neon lit vintage roadside motel at night. The sign above the office reads “SLEEPING on the corner in Winslow, Arizona,” glowing red and white against the dark blue sky. Below the roofline, green and pink neon lights frame the small brick building with a Route 66 sign marked “Earl’s 66.” The office door is flanked by chairs, and a pickup truck is parked in front of the rooms, their doors illuminated by warm yellow bulbs.

Coming home tonight after an afternoon of chasing thunderstorms near Socorro, New Mexico. Lots of hail and rain, but few bolts. The afternoon still had its reward. This scene is unfolded over the Isleta Pueblo.

Good morning my friends.

Apologies to all who contributed to yesterday's BOTD.

Due to a lack of sleep Sunday and out all day with the Red Squirrels yesterday I didn't get any Replies/Reposts done.

I had tea with the boss lady,then fell asleep at 6.30pm and woke up at 9.15am this morning.

🪶 Rob has chosen the Kestrel for today’s #BirdOfTheDay (alternative #tits).

I had the pleasure of watching a hovering male Kestrel over the weekend after Storm Amy had passed.

A Male Kestrel against a blue sky. Its wings are level and it is glancing at the camera.

Malé, Maldives. Sunset Golden Hour cityscape. Photo taken from the terrace of a seven-story building captures a breathtaking view of the city skyline at sunset. The lower half of the frame showcases the upper halves of buildings in silhouette. In the mid-frame, a terrace gazebo sits atop a building, also rendered in silhouette. The sky is a vibrant blend of tangerine and gold, adorned with golden-rimmed clouds. At the center of the upper frame, the golden sun radiates its warmth.

This Is My Glasgow @thisismyglasgow.bsky.social · 1d

I love the repeating patterns in this 1870s building on the corner of Hope Street and Bothwell Street in Glasgow. It was designed by Peddie and Kinnear, and was originally meant to be the hotel for Central Station.

So my co host of BOTD Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has announced:
Today's #BirdOfTheDay is back to basics with a singular bird, which is the beautiful 'Kestrel'.

And the alternative is any of the Tit species of Birds. I’m going with the alternative and a Blue Tit in my garden #birds #EastCoastKin

A blue tit perches on a thin branch among bright green leaves, its soft yellow chest and blue cap glowing in warm sunlight. The background is softly blurred, with hints of lilac blossoms adding a gentle touch of colour.
