Today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #OddCouples and not too odd to see a Snowy Egret and Black-necked Stilt on the same patch, just have to wait for them to get close to each other and grabe a frame. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Nature #Wildlife
A Snowy Egret walking left to righ passes a Black-necked Stilt going right to left. In still water, clear reflection of the Snowy, and the legs of the Stilt, body obscured by the bank. Sunny day.

Storms and weeks of rain flooding the land. A seats reflection looks like it’s floating in the water and a trees reflection makes it appear very tall. All made more beautiful by the sunset.

Great Blue Heron 🪶

#Nature #Photography #Birds #GreatBlueHeron #ConcordMA
Great Blue Heron The photo shows a large gray heron standing near the edge of a partially frozen stream in a snowy winter landscape. The bird is perched on a patch of reddish-brown ground with some snow, surrounded by bare, twisted tree branches. The reflection of the heron and the branches can faintly be seen in the calm water below. The scene is tranquil and captures the contrast between the heron's muted colors and the bright white snow.

A few moss covered tree trunks with hundreds of thin bare branches rising from water that has overflowed onto the banks, but looks like a bona fide body of water meant to be there. Reddish coloured reeds line where the actual edge of the lake is in the middle of the photo. The sky, can be seen through the branches, is deep blue with a few puffy clouds, and is reflected in the blue of the flood water. A beautiful sunny day winter scene filled with texture taken after heavy rain.

Derwent Water, Keswick, Cumbria (Dec 25) with Skiddaw in the background.
The wooden jetty was the one under water in my post yesterday.
#lakedistrict #cumbria #keswick #mountains #nature #photography #eastcoastkin
A Lakeland view of Derwent Water and some of the Northern Fells, Keswick, Cumbria, England on a cloudy December afternoon. The lake is calm, steel grey in colour, with a subtle green and brown reflection of Crow Park and the mountain range in the background. In the foreground leading the eye across the lake to Skiddaw is the end of a wooden jetty with wooden poles either side of the deck. In the background is the imposing outline of Skiddaw, England's 4th highest mountain. There is grey scree on the upper slopes and autumnal brown vegetation on the lower slopes. The white-grey clouds fill the sky and just skim the summit of the fells.

Attend upon them still.

Mysterious, beautiful;”

'Monochromatic Moisture'

In shade these liquid-laden berries project a vibrant reflection of their natural surroundings.

Happy Sunday my #Bluesky friends!

Sparty 🖤🤍

#EastCoastKin #Photography #Art #Nature #ClassicMono #Macro #BNWmacro #StunDay #PhotographersofBluesky #ArtYear #BlueSkyPhotography
This high-contrast, mono macro photograph offers an intimate perspective of several clusters of small, round berries or seed pods hanging from a thin, intricate branch. The image is rendered entirely in shades of grey, black, and white, which emphasises the intricate textures and dynamic lighting rather than colour. The composition employs a shallow depth of field, bringing the central cluster of berries into sharp focus while rendering the foreground and background into soft, pleasing blurs (bokeh). The primary subjects are attached to thin, gnarled branches that snake across the frame. A key element of the image is the presence of numerous water droplets. These droplets delicately cling to the undersides and curved surfaces of the berries. They act as natural lenses, brilliantly capturing and inverting reflections of the bright, diffuse light source from an overcast sky and the surrounding out-of-focus foliage. These reflections are among the brightest points in the image, providing stark contrast to the dark, near-black silhouette of the berries themselves. The lighting is dramatic, highlighting the smooth, wet surfaces of the berries and the crystalline structure of the water droplets. The light catches the edges of the branches, revealing their rough, dry texture in fine detail. The use of black and white photography enhances the mood, creating a sense of quiet contemplation, stark beauty in the aftermath of rain. Various shapes are present: the perfect spheres of the water droplets, the slightly pear-shaped berries, and the organic, linear forms of the branches. The arrangement feels natural yet balanced. The background elements are reduced to abstract shapes and tones, ensuring focus remains on the detailed beauty of the berries and the water that adorns them. The image is a study in macro-photography principles, focusing attention on a micro-world often overlooked.

This is a seascape captured one morning at Gulfport, Mississippi. ...

"The scene opens wide and breathes. A long wooden pier stretches out over calm coastal water, its posts and covered shelters forming a steady line against a sky that refuses to settle on a single color. Above it, a sweeping flock of black skimmers fills the air—dozens of dark, slender bodies moving in loose formation, wings angled like long blades cutting through the morning light. Their silhouettes are sharp and fluid at once, each bird catching a slightly different shade of the sky behind it. The sky itself is a layered wash of blues, violets, and soft pinks, as if the day is shifting moods mid‑breath. Clouds drift in textured bands, glowing at the edges where the light touches them. Below, the beach is pale and quiet, a simple foreground that lets the drama of sky and wings take center stage. The water mirrors the colors above in muted reflection, giving the whole scene a sense of motion and stillness intertwined. The image feels like a moment caught between tides—alive with movement, yet deeply peaceful." - Microsoft Copilot

A Lakeland view of Derwent Water, Keswick, Cumbria, England on a sunny September afternoon. The lake is calm, steel grey in colour, with a blue hue from the reflection of the blue sky. In the foreground the deck of a wooden jetty is submerged under water. Black-headed gulls are perched on most of the wooden jetty poles. In the background is the outline of some of the North Western Fells, the most prominent is Causey Pike on the left. The colours of the trees and fells are just starting to change from green to autumnal hues of brown. The sky is blue with a few small white clouds.

A photo in a forest, but just the detain of the end of a tiny branch with the background black. The branch is brown with yellow spots. There are two drops of water hanging from the branch. They are heavy and ready to fall. They both have the white reflection of my flash.

The stillness at Altamont Gardens yesterday. The water was like glass. You couldn't tell where the trees ended and the reflection began. A perfect spot to just breathe and reset. 🌿💧

#photography #EastCoastKin #TeamPixel #Altamont #Carlow #Ireland #Reflections #Nature #Garden #Travel
A vertical shot of a tranquil lake at Altamont Gardens. The water is dark and still, creating a near-perfect reflection of the trees on the opposite bank. A large, weeping willow hangs over the water on the left, while a very tall, slender tree with a high canopy dominates the centre, its silhouette stark against a pale, overcast sky. The overall mood is moody, calm, and slightly desaturated, emphasising the textures of the branches and the rippled reflection.

A male hooded merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus) racing his reflection. Photo taken at Isleta Lakes, New Mexico on February 6, 2026.

#nature #naturephotography #birds
The aesthetic key to this image is the finely and evenly rippled water. The ripples are mostly brown above (reflecting winter vegetation) and blue below (reflecting the sky). Flying just above the rippled water, the male hooded merganser has his wings in their downbeat. His head is black with a white patch, and with his hood folded back (think aerodynamic drag). The beak is black and the eye is yellow-orange. The outer parts of the wings are gray but the visible inner part of the near upperwing is patterned white, black, and gray. The breast and belly are white. Near the tail, above the midline, is a patch of brown. The tail is seen on edge so the details aren't apparent. Below the merganser, its reflection is blurred by the ripples in the pond's surface.

36 Views of My Breasts: A trans body memoir

In this print adaptation of her one woman show of the same name, Sainwood offers a lens for reflection and a framework for reimagining our bodies as patient creations who’ll welcome us back.

36 Views of My Breasts: A trans body memoir by Wilhelmina "Billie" Sainwood cover: a water colour painting of two snowcapped mountains nestled in the suggestions of pastoral surroundings under a clear blue sky the cover is transposed over a photo of a mannequin's torso, pale skinned and wet as if by rain. “This is a book about breasts. Specifically, my breasts. I've had them for as long as I can remember, much longer than HRT has pinned them proudly to my chest, pink as boutonnières. These breasts have changed with me, time-lapsing with the messy beauty of a forest floor. They've changed with my body, my beliefs. Our relationship has been a matter of perspective - an ongoing process, constantly occurring, the perpetual rot and decay and rebirth of a person, of nature. It’s random, but purposeful. This transformation has a form all its own. Breasts are a landscape ripe with tension. Breasts are celebrated, shamed, hated, and fetishized across the gender spectrum. Considered unsightly on men, fawned over on women, and, at best, tolerated on those drifting between. Having grown up as a fat “boy,” and transitioning into a woman, breasts were heavy and omnipresent all my life. This book is my attempt at charting my journey, from shame to glory and back again.“ At a summer camp for boys It’s summer at camp at the swim dock. All the boys have their shirts off they’re all laughing, teasing swapping the social slang of insults for friendship of bullying for bouquets of flowers/ The quiet boy laughs doesn’t think of his body much except when he does. When he laughs his breasts jiggle. When the funniest kid in camp points this out brays his joke about milk and udders the dock bursts into a rich symphony of harsh donkey laughs of goose honks of heaving shoulders. The boy’s breasts grow still. They hide in the new canopy of his hunched shoulders. He goes and gets a tee shirt two sizes too big. This is a cave that cannot hide them. Cannot save them from more jokes. Cannot save them from the boys who say they are “tits” But still they hide in the baggy shirt. Still, they decide, it will be years before they come out again.
