Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FoodFinds any bird with food in it’s mouth.

You can see the food, although the #crow is a bit dark here.
Quite dark image. In front of a dimly lit body of water is an even darker silhouette of a crow flying from right to left. In its beak it carries 2 peanuts, which are brightly lit by a ray of sunshine.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #speckles&spots birds with speckled or spotted plumage. The alt theme is #most the bird you think you have most photos of.

Thanks for the alternative, not much spotted material in my collection.

A #crow in #fog.

#photography #bird
Foggy, grey in grey image. To the left a piece of a flat roof is visible, off which a crow launching itself into flight by just falling off in style.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme on the hop is #snowy bird captures or #goldenhour bird captures.

Okay, not really much snow here anymore, so it has to be golden hour.

He blinked first!

Aggressive little #EgyptianGoose, but I caught it blinking first, bullies WILL cave.

'Mein bestes Foto 2025' #FotoVorschlag

Ist es das beste? Nicht wirklich sicher, aber es war das letzte aus 2025.

#Ludisia #Orchidee, welche Sorte genau, weiß ich nicht, vermutlich jade.

Oberer Teil eines Blütenstamms mit 8 einzelnen Blüten vor einem beigen, strukturierten Hintergrund, auf dem sich der Schatten der Blüte schwach erkennen lässt.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GoodLight and Bird capture where you had good lighting conditions, and the Alt Theme is #Gulls

I think this light was good, and it's a gull.

#photography #birds #nature
Gull in flight, the wings spread wide. The bird is lit from the left so that the light shines through the flight feathers.

Is this some secret code for James Bond?

Couldn't find him here.
A containter structure made from presumably steel, painted red, sporting the text "007" on its side. In the back, a red brick building can be seen.

Dazzled by the bright city lights

Blossoms of a Ludisia #orchid, not sure which, maybe Ludisia jade.

#photography #blossom #plant #flash #flower
Top part of a Ludisia orchid's blossom stem. 7 blossoms can be seen in the foreground, lit neutrally. The background is black with a good number of big pink and lilac dots. Lights in the distance, blurred by being way out of focus.

#BirdOfTheDay is all #AboutTheKids

A canada goose is watching over chicks sitting on a beach

Ludisia discolor blossoms.

Looks like a group of alien seductresses.

#photography #orchid #blossom #flower #macro #plant #flash
Over a blue blackground 3 blossoms can be seen. One is mostly in focus and looks like something with a yellow snout and two eyelashes. This - let's call it "face" - is surrounded by white plant matter, slightly glistening. The white parts appear to form a helmet above the "face" with two large bunny ears, topped with a red dot each. Behind to the right of the focus are two additional, similar blossoms.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Movement.

So, I guess dynamic Geese aggression fits the bill?

#bird #canadagoose
In ligght blue water a canada goose perturbes the calm, causing the water to turn brown. The Goose has its wings spread wide, beak open, red tongue sticking out to intimidate another goose (not in the frame). Its mate's open beak and red tongue is barely visible on the ride side of the frame as well.

#BirdOfTheDay #Black

Well, what else would I submit but a #crow

#photography #bird #corvid #sunset
A crow is standing on some cobblestones with some sand. Behind it to the right is vegetation of some sort. The crow is illuminated from behind by a reddish sunset.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is birds #LookingAtYou, and the Alternative are birds #OnTheRocks set by
@robcrank68.bsky.social

Trying to overachieve on this assignment: #Crow on a rock looking at you.

#photography #corvid
A crow can be seen from its right side, standing on a light colored stone. In the background mostly calm water. The crow has turned its head to look into the camera. Its beak is open.

"And I say onto you, my human brothers, I regret, the end is nigh, you shall be assimilated. Repent, before it is too late."

Ludisia discolor budding.

#photography #orchid #plant #flash
The buds of a Ludisia discolor. The lowest and earliest, about to bloom, look like arms. Above, an abstract notion of a face. All is lit from below, so the arms are well lit, the seeming face as well, beyond that, the buds can be seen as a head ornament.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #Headshots, a #crow posing for my camera. I do think I got the best side of this cutie.
Uncropped.

#photography #crow #bird #portrait #Krähencontent #corvid
Portrait - head and shoulders - of a crow. The head is turned so that the right eye and the beak are in focus and in the center of the picture. The background is blurry with colors between beige and light green.

Structures, vertically organized.

#photography
A picture of various patterns or structures. The top third is a very light brown with pools and connecting veins of darker brown. The middle is fine-grained strata, rock-like, separated by a stream of water from the lowest third, which is more rough grained strata. All is mud formed by rain and the off-flow.

''*' (Joker, Freispiel)' #FotoVorschlag
Blick eine Treppe hinauf. Durch das Geländer des obersten Stockwerks ragt die Blüte eines Hibiskus hervor, im Scheinwerferlicht erstrahlt. Sie lugt zwischen den Pfeilern des Geländers hervor und wirkt, als halte sie eine Rede, als spräche sie zu den Anwesenden.

Structures

#photography
A floor, the left and slightly up side of it is covered with large stone structure. The right and slightly down side is covered with smaller, lenghty stones, roughly a houndstooth pattern.

'Mitternacht' #FotoVorschlag
Dunkles Bild im Hochformat. Ein goldener Lichtstreifen, der sich im fließenden Wasser des Flusses spiegelt, füllt fast das gesamte Bild. Die unruhige Wasseroberfläche bewirkt, dass sich die Spiegelung des Mondes in der Mitte S-förmig krümmt.

Today's super moon.

#photography #moon #river
Dark picture in portrait orientation. A golden band of light reflected on moving water from the river fills most of the frame. The generally disturbed surface of the water is causing the reflection of the moon to bend in the middle, like an S.
