Good morning friends!

This adorable Pileated Woodpecker showing off his beautiful bright red crest made me smile. I hope he makes you smile too. 🥰🪶

Robins warming up for their festive shift...

It's 1st December!

#MondayMotivation

📷 Vicky Outen
A Robin stands on a branch with its tail flicked high, feathers fanned out like it’s doing an exaggerated warm-up stretch before a big day. Its red orange chest is puffed proudly and its tiny feet are braced as if limbering up to be a festive icon.

I've been saving this view for #Stunday. Clear skies, a quiet trail, and early fall colors in the Cascades.

A narrow dirt trail winds along the edge of a small alpine lake with calm, reflective water. Low shrubs with early fall colors line the path, and tall evergreens angle in from the right. Jagged gray ridgelines rise across the background under a clear blue sky, giving the scene a wide open, high-country feel.

Closing out November with a sunny memory from July. Thank you for the fun and friendship we’ve shared together. Grateful for #BlueSky #Gardening community that’s helped me feel welcome 🌱
#SundayYellow
Burst of yellow rose bloom popping open atop a large white dinner-plate dahlia from a lovely July day. A quick memory to thank everyone for the friendship offered so generously 💛

Our trip to Kruger Park, SA, was such a great opportunity to see birds we’d only read about.
I’d never seen any species of stork before, and one early morning we turned a corner and this guy was there!
This yellow-billed stork was just hanging out in its marsh looking like a star!
#Birds 🪶
A yellow-billed stork stands in a marsh in warm morning light with grasses in the background. It has long reddish legs and a brilliant yellow bill that is soooo long! A red face patch and white and black feathers completes the ensemble!

Can I come in?

Happy #SquirrelSaturday!🐿️

A brown and tan Eastern Fox squirrel, or Fox squirrel sits up on his hind legs and is pictured from his lower torso up. He is resting both paws-his left more forward than his right-on the bottom of a black fence gate. His head is turned to his right; he looks as if he is deciding whether to come through the gate onto the mossy, gray brick patio in the foreground. Blurry Lush summer green grass makes up the background.

...only a moment

#nature #photography #morningsky #gratitude
A bird sits atop a barren poplar tree. Evergreen trees are dotted among the leafless poplars. The sky is pretty dreamy with streaky clouds in hues of blue, red, pink, yellow & gold. A simple moment in time.

Morro Rock sunset.😍
sunset at a beach with dark pink clouds, Morro Rock is black against the sky, and the water is reflecting the blue sky and pink clouds. There are shorebirds foraging at the edge of the waves.

‘Standing in the Sky’
Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating today!! I am thankful for this wonderful BlueSky community from all over the world 🌎🙏 #Birds #Gratitude #BeKind #Nature #Photography
A Great Blue Heron stands at an angle facing us. The smooth water’s surface is reflecting the blue skies above and filling the frame—making it look like “standing in the sky”.

Overcast morning scene two weeks ago. I like this lovely hill landscape - even if it's less iconic than "real" mountains.

Hills with groups of trees in autumn colors, separated by low hanging fog in first bit of daylight before sunrise (overcast sky). The combination of hills, trees and fog make nice layers.

A Snowy Egret, back to us, head turned to the left, walks in wet sand toward the deeper foamy gray-blue breaking waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
