I did a bit of traveling in my last job before retiring and was able to see a lot of wonderful sights along the way.

And I thought all Montanan’s were cowboys. Wow!

I agree. I love photographing abandoned vehicles, but they all see like they should be saved. 🫤

Many of us would really like you to get rid of the Save feature that is present when viewing an image. This is not the bookmark feature. There is really no reason for anyone to be able to “save” my images to their phone, tablet or computer. It allows people to steal images that are copyrighted.

I would like to suggest, encourage, request that we all use the feedback feature in Bluesky (at the bottom of the left side menu) to request the removal of the Save feature. I’ll add my text in the first comment. This feature allows people to save and steal our images.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LongNecks. I photographed this Trumpeter Swan in flight at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge earlier this year.

I agree it’s a problem though!

However, I just saved to my Photos Library your latest monochrome shot and I don’t think it shows “Saved” where the bookmark is. (I’ll delete it)

That’s the bookmark save. That one does not download the photo anywhere. The bookmark allows you to find a favorite photo later.

Had an opportunity to watch and photograph one in Teddy Roosevelt NP for an afternoon earlier this year and I agree, it was quite an experience. Beautiful shot Janet!

How can you tell if someone “Saves” a photo (ie. downloads) vs. the Save (Bookmark) feature?

Only in the reality of this moment are there no realistic alternatives that I could believe I should have already implemented.

The #SensoryArt theme this week is #transportation. Since it’s Fall I thought of this abandoned beauty.

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

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.

Getting nice photos is great, but there is so much more to get from wildlife photography. Even on those days where you get no photos worth keeping, you've still seen things, heard things and noticed things, and you've still got some exercise and fresh air. #WorldMentalHealthDay #nature
