Fall reflections on #BlueSkyMonday
Wishing you a lovely start to your week.

#EastCoastKin #trees #treescape #geese #photography #photograpersofbluesky #Michigan

Four elm trees in various stages of senescence (green, orange, red) stand next to a pond which reflects them and the blue sky above them. Mist rises from the green grass behind them and from the pond. Several greese stand under and near the two trees on the left.

A photo of the same tree every month-October

A tall tree that stands alone on a grassy hillside at Heaton Park Manchester
The sky us blue.
The trees branches are lush and green with some leaves yellow at the top as autumn changes their colour.
Two people are walking underneath the branches across the grass

#BlueSkyMonday

#EastCoastKin

A stone church building with a steep roof and a small bell tower rises against a clear blue sky. The sunlight casts strong shadows across the roof, highlighting a decorative cross at the roof’s peak and a single hanging bell visible through an arched window on the left.

Foggy sunrise this morning. Cascade foothills. Portland Oregon. 🩶☀️

Foggy sunrise. Dark landscape, with a blurry tree-line with lifting fog, creamy yellow light with tree silhouettes, dark band of clouds, the sun partially exposed above, cream yellow sky and clouds above.

Crows landing at the Edmonds Marina Beach Park on an overcast afternoon

#Birds #BirdOfTheDay #Wings #Corvids #Crows #Birdscrolling #FeatheredFriends #Edmonds #PNW #Nature #ClassicMono #Photography

Two crows landing with wings spread out and feet stretched out. One crow, near the bottom of the image, is only half way visible, its head, lower body, and feet are cut out of the shot. The background is cloudy, gray, and blurry.

Welcoming a new colour palette beneath a bright blue sky

#Autumn #change #photography #nature #Stunday #daybyday

Looking outward a lake surrounded by forest. There is no shoreline as the evergreen trees and forest bramble come right to the edge of the lake. The sky is hosting some swirling clouds that are reflected in the still waters.
