I was looking for a Roberto #Robin photo to fit today's themes for #BirdOfTheDay - #Branched and #Grounded. I found two but realised that the dates held an awful memory. One taken the day my lovely wife suffered a massive stroke, the other three days after she died. #ForJanet #Birds #Photography

No Full Moon is visible here tonight after a day of rain and wind, I'm signing off with another from last evening when we had a perfect view. Goodnight Bluesky friends. Sleep tight etc. #Moonscape #Photography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBluesky #England #Surrey

After doubts were cast about the number of legs that my Dunnock was standing in my earlier post, I felt my honour needed defending. So, here are at least two, possibly four, Flamingos in Spain, using but one leg. Count 'em. Use a magnifying glass. #BirdOfTheDay #OnOneLeg #Birds #UKWildlife #ECK

Our friend Helen @helenbennett.bsky.social has chosen #OnOneLeg as the theme for her return to the #BirdOfTheDay flock. Alt: Is #SpottySpeckled. I think this Dunnock might constitute a twofer. I only see one leg. If I'm wrong, well, I haven't got a leg to stand on. #Birds #UKWildlife #ECK

Prompted by my friend Diane @dianef1224.bsky.social I'm going to post a #Selfie aka self portrait, in my spiffy new specs. In colour as they are a kinda magenta shade. Also you get my baby blue eyes this way. A mono, too. Sometimes I'm happy. Sometimes I'm not. #ECK #ClassicMono #Photography

Hello friends! Happy #BlueSkyMonday! How are you? 🙋‍♂️ It’s about 6:30am 🕡 EDST here and ☀️. I’m making our rich and aromatic #BlueBrew coffee for the community here in the coffeehouse. Who’d like a cup? ☕️ Please do stop by & say hello! 👋 We close at 10:30am 🕥 EDST 😊 #ECK

Good morning all. I was inspired by this lovely Redshank for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #OnOneLeg - birds seen balancing on one leg! 🧡 📷 Alt: Is #SpottySpeckled - any bird with spotted or speckled plumage. Wishing you all a Happy Monday and great new week ahead 🕊️ #Birds #UKWildlife #ECK

Ooh, I'm feeling all goosebumpy already. (Mind you, that's because I'm nesh. ) Time to get your skeletons and spooks out of the palatial cupboards.

On a frost covered morning, mist over the fells A gate on the corner, an eerie feel in the air A tree whispers softly,a church bell rings A bus stop is waiting, going who knows where.

As I walked home last evening The sky held fading blue, grey, clouds … A nigh full Moon hung over the whitewashed pub, Already artificially lit, and noisy Drinkers inside ignoring the free lunar show #BlueSkyMonday #Moonscape #PaintByWords #HuntersMoon #EnglishVillageLife #ECK #Photography

palestinewillbefree.substack.com/p/israeli-bo... The BBC leads their news bulletins when members of the genocide Israeli forces are killed in the West Bank and yet daily ignores stories like this and other crimes being carried out by Netanyahu's murderers. Balance? BBC hypocrisy.

The forest is darkening as the sun sets over the hill, leaving the last traces of day shimmering through the thin trees in an orange glow. Then all is quiet, sleeping An evening walk in my village. #Stunday #ImageAndVerse #Abstractia #Patterns #ColorADay #OrangeSun #EastCoastKin #Photography

Good Afternoon Bluesky Folks! While out on a walk today I managed to capture another photo of a Red Kite Souring in the Sky it was Captured on my Canon EOS R50! #Birds🪶 #NaturePhotography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #NatureLover #UKBirding #WildlifePhotograph #CanonR50

I seem to be in a "reliving my youth poetry phase". A friend who runs a monthly session wants me to read and I suggested either Auden (last week's #BlueBrewBooks #Booksky choice) or TS Eliot's Four Quartet's - "Time present and time past." My sister gave me my copy more than 60 years ago.

How about a cheery yellow to brighten the day. A busy bee is busy nectaring on a coreopsis flower. #SundayYellow #Bloomscrolling #FlowersOnSunday #Bee #WeeBee #Photography #ECK
