For today’s #BirdOfTheDay #longnecks prompt…

I’m recycling this shot of a handsome Tricolored #Heron, stretch its neck out to look like a branch while it’s perched in a bare tree (from last winter, I think).

We are blessed with many longnecks here in the #marshes of #coastalgeorgia.

"...But now my own delights I make,
My thirst at every rill can slake,
And gladly Nature’s love partake
Of thee, sweet Daisy! " - W. Wordsworth.

Wishing you a tranquil evening and a great Tuesday! 💙

One for #RockinTuesday

Wester Wick, West Mainland, #Shetland, #Scotland. September 2025

The rock is part of the Sandsting Pluton... more in Alt Text

A site I will be visiting again as there is much more to see 📸

Black and White. 40-50m high granite cliffs have been smashed and eroded by the action of the wild North Atlantic leaving a series of sea stacks scattered in the bay of Wester Wick. The sun glints off the water which stretches to the far horizon.
The granite rocks are part of the Sandsting Pluton, igneous rocks that were formed between 393.3 and 358.9 million years ago during the Devonian period. Another sign of the volcanic history of the Shetland Isles.

Honestly, what's the point of saying they have to do this to prevent Reform, when outcome is effectively mass deportations by the back door and removal of rights anyway. More people becoming undocumented, which Labour's policies guarantee, lead, because of Labour's policies, to more deportations. 4/

We can all bitch and moan and call out the utterly contemptible policies suggested by the likes of Reform and the Conservatives, but if that same condemnation is not applied to Labour then it shows it is not about supporting migrants, it is about being party political. 2/

Some changes to immigration rules today, not just increasing English language requirements, mean migrants looking to live and work in UK will have to meet far far higher standards than British nationals, while paying vast sums to be allowed to do so. That isn't a system based on "fairness". 1/

The Public Committee Against Torture in Israel said almost all Palestinian detainees had been held without trial as “unlawful combatants”. It noted that there were 22 minors among those released, some of the 360 Palestinian minors held in Israeli custody.

An overlook along the Tunnel of Trees, M-119 between Harbor Spring and Cross Village, MI on an October Day. Two boulders on green grass strewn with orange, red, and yellow fall leaves make up the forground. A stone bench right of center, and fall foliage on the edge of the overlook make up the midground. The upper midground is a teal Lake Michigan and two green trees to the left, and tall green bushes/trees to the right. The sky above the lake is overcast, with gray-blue patches of sky and clouds.

Truth, then, is not a possession,
but a connection—
the echo of the cosmos recognizing itself in sentience.

In the act of pondering,
the Mystery does not merely appear;
it creates itself again,
each time more complete,
more subtle, more luminous.

Cloudy and calm. Agawa Canyon Park, ON, Canada.

A a mountainside covered in green pine trees, yellow, orange, and light green deciduous trees meets a calm river. Puffy gray clouds overhead and the colors along the banks are reflected in the water’s surface.

It's yet another farage policy adopted by this govt. Nigel doesn't need to take a pay cut to become PM and all the hassle of the job when they simply do his work for him.

The image shows a close-up of a group of purple-blue flowers with yellow centers (mountain asters). The flowers are sharply focused in the foreground while the background is blurry and green, indicating a natural setting. The petals are narrow and arranged radially. The photo was taken close to the ground.
