About 3 months ago I shared my first photo, a cardinal. 🪶

The response encouraged me to get out there to take more photos and keep sharing which is helping me in more ways than one.

Thanks to the #photography community for being amazing. Your work inspires me daily.

A bright red cardinal sits on a branch that runs diagonally from the left upper part of the frame to the bottom center. Branch has some lichens on it. Across from the cardinal is a little spanish moss. The background is blurry blues and brownish yellows.

For today's bird with a long neck, here's a pretty Mute Swan with her neck curved and wings held up so I could take her glamour shot! (Petaluma, California) 🤩🦢📷

A white Mute Swan with an orange beak and black mask, with her long neck curved and her wings held up behind her. She was in the pale blue waters of a pond with some green marsh grasses round her. Seen at Ellis Creek Wetlands in Petaluma, California.

The photo captures a delicate spider web glistening with tiny dewdrops, illuminated by the soft golden light of early morning. Sunlight filters through the misty background, highlighting each silken thread and creating a gentle, ethereal atmosphere. The blurred shapes of trees and horizontal lines in the distance suggest a peaceful outdoor setting, enhancing the tranquil mood of the scene.

Saw that the #AlphabetChallenge by @sheena-mck.bsky.social is #WeekPforPink so I grabbed the pinkest image I could find. 😁

#photography #flowers #bloomscrolling
A single pink globe amaranth grows into the center of the frame from the bottom left corner. Behind it in the background, seemly surrounding it, are 5 out of focus pink globe amaranths.

Rob has set the #BirdOfTheDay as #LongNecks today, so here's a great egret with a great big ole neck. 😁

#photography #birds #egret
A single white great egret stands in shallow water, in profile. It's body and neck can be seen clearly in the pond reflection below it. Behind is green foliage mostly.

Good Morning All and Apologies for my absence yesterday, i wasn't feeling too good.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is all about 'Long Necks' and the Alternative are 'Finches'

I've gone with a Grey Heron, Mute Swan, Cormorant & Canada Goose captured at RSPB Leighton Moss

St James's Royal Park in London is probably the only place where you will find pelicans promenading together with people. For now, a heron diving for fish creating many #droplets with his #wings

#BirdOfTheDay #UKWildlife #Birds #UKbirding #Ornithology #WildlifePhotography #Photography
A heron sat studiously on the bank of a water garden in Hyde Park. Gradually, he leaned forward and dived into the water. This image was captured at the moment of impact. The extensive water spray created, showered over the heron.

Good morning, it’s #BirdOfTheDay time. Today’s theme is #wings let’s see the beauty of them. They don’t have to be flying wings. The alternative is #droplets so any droplets of water on any bird. Good luck!! 🤞 I’m going with a Sparrow, taken yesterday. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A close-up photograph of a house sparrow in mid-flight, wings fully extended to reveal fine layers of feathers with soft brown and cream tones. The bird’s sharp eye and beak point forward, set against a smooth, blurred background of green and muted purples, creating a sense of motion and grace.

Thanks! The only way to get the shutter speeds up even close to fast enough was to keep the lens wide open.

Here's a little bit of nightmare fuel as we head towards Halloween. 🎃

It's not the big spider that concerns me, it's all the little ones. 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️😁

#ColorADay #OrangeSun #stunday #photography #spiders
A very large female yellow garden spider sits in the middle of the web, which is much denser just behind her body and catches the sun rays nicely. Surrounding here are several other tiny spiders in the same web. Some dark leaves are in the shadows in the lower part of the frame, and the sun shines in from the upper right. Background is blurred greens and yellows.

Didn't have the best setup with me for hummingbirds in flight but still had to try when I saw this ruby-throated hanging about the this week at the gardens. 🪶

Glad I did because I like the ghosted wing effect I ended up with due to slower shutter speed. 😎

#stunday #photography #birds #hummingbirds
A humming bird with a few bright red spots under its neck is drinking from a bright red flower on the left. Background is light greens and yellows. Its wings were moving too fast for the camera, so they are more of a ghostly see through wing but you can still make out some details.
