Just getting started in photography and Bluesky seems like a place where that's happening now :) https://www.flickr.com/photos/201677566@N06/ All photos are mine other than reposts

About 3 months ago I shared my first photo, a cardinal. 🪶

The response encouraged me to get out there to take more photos and keep sharing which is helping me in more ways than one.

Thanks to the #photography community for being amazing. Your work inspires me daily.

A bright red cardinal sits on a branch that runs diagonally from the left upper part of the frame to the bottom center. Branch has some lichens on it. Across from the cardinal is a little spanish moss. The background is blurry blues and brownish yellows.

Good morning, here's a lovely red hibiscus for #ColorADay #RedWed

Have a great day y'all!

A pinkish red hibiscus grows into the frame from the upper right down to the lower left. Surrounded by light green foliage.

Things they don't list on the adoption paperwork:

1) Will constantly scan the ceiling for light reflections
2) Will whine and chase them when he sees them

To combat this we either sit in darkness or we light the whole house up.

But we still love him! 😁

A very handsome tan and white dog sits on the couch, looking up at the ceiling. The sun lights upon his left side and chin, and part of his brow. Rest of the scene is mostly dark.

Good morning! Had a rather tough 11 miler today, had to walk a little bit towards the end but I made it! 🏃‍♂️‍➡️🌞

I didn't stop for many photos, but I did grab this one early on in the run. I liked the wispy clouds meandering about the sky.

#photography #running #ColorADay #bluetue #sunrise

A pre-sunrise scene over a lake, a treeline with houses runs across the center of the frame, above which are light oranges transitioning to darker blue as your eye moves up the sky. Several long wispy clouds make almost circular shapes in the sky. Below it all reflects on the lake's surface.

Good morning Susan, hope you had a lovely weekend + Monday! 😊

Just wanted to share that I've been drinking hazelnut coffee this week which is not ideal. So I could really use some of that #BlueBrew right about now 😁

What a neat spot. My brain instantly turned on the anxiety about standing anywhere near that. 😁

Every time I see plumerias I have to stop and take photos, and on this particular day the water droplets really made this one stand out for me.

#photography #bloomscrolling #coloraday #pinkmon #flowers

A plumeria flower, covered with droplets of water sits in the center right of the frame, filling it mostly from top to bottom. The water beads on nearly every surface, and several drops grow pregnant at the bottom, getting ready to fall.

Hello everyone! Thanks for all the well wishes yesterday 😊

@robcrank68.bsky.social has set today's #BirdOfTheDay theme as 'Sea Birds', so here's a friendly pelican who really just wanted some of the fish we caught earlier this year in the Keys.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is going to be all about 'Sea Birds' and the Alternative will be 'Robins'.

So here's a pair of Herring Gulls, Fulmar European Shag & Bridled Guillemot captured on the Inner Farne Cruise off the Northumberland Coast.

Thanks Mike!

Appreciate it Mamady! I have found that sharing helps to keep me motivated to stay on track with what I'm doing. A little accountability I guess.

Also one of the reasons I like posting my running photos 😁
