The picture shows a low setting sun with golden rays just going behind a distant tree line. The sky itself is a mixture of greys yellows, pinks, orange and golden tones. The clouds are scattered and radiate from dark to light to the top of the picture with a light blue sky hiding behind them.

Another lovely Christmas decoration by my friend for inspiration with a tiny bit of #BlueTue for the
#AlphabetChallenge.
Sorry, had to delete the 1st because of silly typo. Here we go again.

A rustic grey wooden box, topped with a small roof-like frame, holds a charming Christmas arrangement that immediately suggests a wintry window scene. Lush fir branches, glossy dark red leaves and a cluster of silver and pearl baubles create a classic festive composition in green, red, silver and white. At the centre hangs a pair of vintage-style white ice skates with fluffy cuffs and pom-pom trims, the key winter symbol that evokes frozen ponds, cold air and the nostalgic joy of outdoor skating. Together, the evergreens, bright red berries and sparkling baubles reinforce the Christmas mood, while the skates anchor the decoration firmly in the world of winter.

Right, back home to my laptop with recent trip photos on it again.

Here's another view from that frosty morning at Stokksnes :)

#Iceland
Lovely rippled black sand dunes with a touch of frost on them. The edge of the dune leads the eye towards some orange grasses and then behind are lovely pointy mountains sticking up into the vaguely sunrisey sky.

Gorgeous sunset over the Sierra Madres tonight. Puerto Vallarta. ♥️
Sunset. House in foreground with the mountains behind, orange sky with dark gray clouds, the sun center stage, topped illuminated clouds.

Absolutely Sabine and we talk about this every year but it seems that people don’t listen. These aren’t pets, they are family and should be loved and cared for as such 🥰🤔👍🏼

Today I start on a serious note: pets are not Christmas gifts - they are lives, not toys. Don’t give an animal only to abandon it when the sparkle fades. Choose compassion: give love that lasts, not heartbreak wrapped in ribbon.
See ALT text! #AnimalArtTuesday #animalrescue #animalprotection
Impulsive animal gifts at Christmas trigger worldwide heartbreak, filling shelters with terrified pets discarded like wrapping paper. From US facilities overflowing with 245,000 extra dogs and cats, to Germany’s adoption bans amid 40-50% January returns, Europe’s chaos in Austria and France sees capacities double. Australia’s RSPCA faces year-long surrender waits, while Asia’s Hong Kong and Singapore report surging abandonments. These living beings endure infinite suffering: separation trauma, overcrowding stress, and euthanasia risks in strained systems. Puppies bought for holiday joy face lonely crates by New Year’s, their trust shattered forever. Choose ethics over impulse—adopt responsibly, never gift lives. Compassion prevents this global cycle of pain.

Today's alternative #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SmallBirdBigAttitude. A male Purple Finch with an attitude. I wonder if the attitude is because some colour blind naturalist called it Purple.

Our picture shows a quiet outdoor scene at dusk. Tall, leafless trees dominate the foreground, their dark trunks and fine, tangled branches forming dramatic silhouettes against a softly glowing sky. The bare branches spread outward like delicate lace, filling much of the upper part of the image. Behind the trees, the sun sits low on the horizon, partially hidden by the trunks, creating a pale golden light that fades into soft shades of grey and smoky cream in the sky. The light reflects faintly off a calm river running along the right side of the image. The water surface is smooth and slightly shimmering, catching the last light of the day. On the left side, a quiet road runs parallel to the river. Parked cars line the roadside, and the dark outlines of houses and rooftops sit behind them. Thin power lines stretch diagonally across the sky, adding subtle straight lines to the otherwise organic shapes of trees and clouds. The overall mood of the image is peaceful, moody, and slightly melancholic. The strong contrast between the dark foreground trees and the glowing sky creates a striking silhouette effect, giving the scene a sense of calm stillness at the end of the day. Finally, our picture is finished with a white border frame.

A landscape at sunrise with the sun low on the horizon, casting bright rays across a dark foreground. Two large leafless trees frame the view on the left and right, their branches silhouetted against a sky filled with soft orange, pink, and blue clouds.
