Just getting started in photography and Bluesky seems like a place where that's happening now :)

Another colorful turtle #scape, to me it looks like it's getting ready to take a ride on a rocket 😁

Rob has set the #BirdOfTheDay to #Short beaks, so here's a little warbler given the monochrome treatment.

Well, it's Thursday which for me mostly means bees on yellow things 🐝😁

A rather irritated looking red-shouldered hawk for the #BirdOfTheDay today, which Alan has set to #raptors

Just liked this little flower scene, feels calming for me 🌞

Started the new year battling bronchitis and some foot issues, but finally got my first run of the year in the books this morning!

Feels nice, I think I'll try again on Thursday 😁

Sometimes I fool around and do something drastically different in Lightroom just to see what things can look like.

Maybe one day I'll arrive at a consistent editing style, but where's the fun in that. 😁

Good morning!

For today's #BirdOfTheDay, here's a Savannah sparrow in its #natural environment, with a touch of #SundayYellow

A closeup of a flower that I liked, maybe that one tiny curling petal that seems just a bit different and out of place. 🌞

Did somebody say #Vibrant? Here's a red admiral butterfly I saw in November for the #BlueSkyArtShow 🦋

I never pass up an opportunity to take a photo of a butterfly. 🦋😁

Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Feathers&Form, celebrating texture, pattern, and structure of feathers. The alternate theme is #resting.

I thought this beautiful flamingo we saw at the Sunken Gardens in St Pete fit both themes fairly well. ☺️

Good morning all!

Rob has set the #BirdOfTheDay to #ShortBeaks

Here's a downy woodpecker pondering whether this spanish moss is a worm or not. Hopefully that beak is short enough to qualify, I didn't get the measuring tape out 😁

Alan has set the theme of #BirdOfTheDay to #FoodFinds, so here's a great egret I followed around for a little bit to watch it hunt for lizards.

They are amazing to watch when they hunt. 😎

Rob has set today's #BirdOfTheDay theme to #BlackAndWhite, so here's a pileated woodpecker that is mostly so if you ignore that bright red mohawk and mustache 😁

Toying around with texture and clarity while juicing up the color and contrast. Kinda like the effect in the water ☺️

Here's the tiny setup I use sometimes, with Dozer for scale. A ton of fun in a very small package with many technical limitations. 😁

For me personally the fun factor is crucial for getting out the door, so I'm happy to make the tradeoff sometimes.

Took this on a walk Friday with my tiniest camera setup.

There's something to be said for wandering with a very light camera in one hand and snapping away. Not thinking much about technical details, just having fun. ☺️
