Bluesky is beautiful, even when it’s stormy.

A bright beautiful sky during a storm. The clouds are several shades of blue and white.

What a fabulous day of BOTD. Thank you to all our amazing contributors. Absolutely stunning captures. Wishing you all a great rest of your day, wherever you are in the world. #BirdOfTheDay is part of the #EastCoastKin community. Leaving you with a flock of Goldfinches in the distance. #birds

A large flock of European goldfinches in flight against a pale blue sky. The birds’ bright yellow wing patches and red faces stand out vividly as they move in a scattered but coordinated formation, creating a sense of motion and harmony in the open air.

Bright yellowy/gold maple leaves hanging on for the last hurrah. In the centre of the branch one leaf appears different from the rest boasting a rust lining and dark centre

A dead flat lake reflecting the shoreline. Tall evergreen trees contrast rust tone brush and deciduous trees. The sky is a daunting grey blue.

Just completed the editing of images from trip to Lake District. I understand why Alfred Wainright had no desire to travel abroad. A view of #GrassmereLake as autumn takes hold.

#Cumbria #lakedistrict #landscapephotography #autumn #photographersunited #PhotographersofBluesky

This is a view across Grassmere Lake. The hotel in the distance reflected in the water. The trees on the hill behind, acquiring the colours of autumn.

I whispered regret into the dawn,
dawn took it gently,
with understanding,
asked nothing from me,
dispersed it amongst the lightening sky.
As the sun appeared,
regret melted away,
I turned to face a new day
my soul, my heart
less burdened.

#Sunrise #Regret

The sun, a small dot of yellow, colours the horizon a glowing peach colour. The sun is rising behind a cluster of bare twigs. The ocean has some undulating waves, it is a dusty blue colour. The sky is pale blue.

$This photograph captures the serene and powerful beauty of Hardraw Force, England's highest single-drop waterfall, located in the Yorkshire Dales. The image is dominated by a long, slender cascade of water plunging approximately 100 feet (30 meters) from a high, rocky ledge into a dark, tranquil pool below. The long exposure technique used in the photograph renders the falling water as a soft, ethereal white ribbon, creating a stark contrast against the rugged, textured cliff face. The surrounding rock formation is a key feature, showcasing a dramatic, layered cliff of various geological strata. The rock walls are a mosaic of earthy tones, ranging from deep charcoal and slate grey to warm ochre and reddish-brown, with visible horizontal bands and fractures. Patches of vibrant green moss and other small plants cling to the damp surfaces, adding pockets of life and colour to the otherwise imposing rock. At the top of the cliff, a dense canopy of lush green trees and foliage is visible, framing the origin of the waterfall and hinting at a hidden woodland above. The base of the waterfall is a jumble of large and small boulders, both smooth and jagged, scattered around the perimeter of the pool. These rocks are interspersed with a rich carpet of green grass, ferns, and other low-lying vegetation, which thrives in the moist environment. The water in the pool is a deep, murky green-brown, reflecting the surrounding cliffs and foliage with a subtle, glassy surface. The overall atmosphere is one of natural grandeur and peaceful isolation, with the soft light suggesting a calm, overcast day, enhancing the moody and timeless quality of the scene. The composition draws the eye vertically, from the forested top to the rocky bottom, emphasising the immense scale of the waterfall and its dramatic setting.$

Clouds that are up high
Move into transition
Breathe life into the day

These trees will have to learn
Lost in translation
How to hold on to the day

Days like thunder change
In nature its a behaviour
You are going to feel the flame

A little story about imperfections. We are our imperfections. Nothing is perfect.
Embrace the things that we feel make us imperfect. THOSE are your hidden gems!
