Inside Fort Jefferson at Dry Tortugas National Park, #Florida. Sixteen million bricks made up this fort that was never used in defense. Built 1875 and never fully finished. Only accessible by ferry or seaplane.

It is a drizzly day but the forest trail provides some shelter ….
Taking the trail with its intermittent corralling of yellow leaves along the way.

Mt. Hood (Wy’east) at dawn. November 21. Have a beautiful day. 💛🩶🫶🏻
Mt. Hood. Dawn. Dark landscape and mountain in the distance, creamy yellow sky, topped with layers of partly illuminated light gray clouds turning darker gray at top, some pale blue-gray sky between the clouds.

#WoodpeckerWednesday Never remember this one! Since the day is half over, I will post only part of a Red-Bellied Woodpecker, trying to hide and keep watch at the same time.

Got some interesting light behind this pelican as the rising sun just lit a bit of the grasses in the distance.

An american pelican swims on the surface of the pond just after sunrise, the morning sun making the grasses behind it glow a vibrant orange contrasting the cool blue colors of the water.

Trying to use my ND filters a little more often... I'll have to come back to this shot later when clouds aren't covering the mountain peaks in the distance.

Looking across a pond in the early morning, clouds are moving in from the mountains.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #OnTheEdge , any bird at the edge of a body of water. The alternative is #pigeons

I saw these common Merganser at #LakeConstance

Three common Merganser sitting on a moss-covered tree trunk lying in the water. One is sitting on the left in the water, another in the middle on the trunk, and the third on the top right of the trunk.

Alone.

A silhouetted woman sitting alone on a bench alongside a wide trail. The landscape is minimal, mostly dirt and gravel. There is light fog in the area which obscures objects in the distance, giving a minimalistic look. Near the trailhead on Cerro San Luis, San Luis Obispo, California.

Looking down a gravel road in the country, lined by utility poles on the right and a harvested corn field on the left. On the horizon are bluffs with a blue cast from shadows.

My owner bought me a warm coat so that I wouldn't be cold when I go out. But I don't want to go outside, I'll wait until spring when the sun is warm. My owner would do better to spend her money only on delicious food, warm blankets and heating in the winter.🐈‍⬛

Front angle view of The Larger Minion lying on his belly in the sun. The sunlight makes his fur appear reddish brown. He is holding a fuzzy sock between his front paws. His head is turned towards us but he is looking just slightly to our left with an innocent expression.

A grey Mourning Dove is standing on the edge a green porch railing. Beyond is the white sugar sand of the beach and the turquoise water of the Gulf of Mexico.

Moin, Bluesky 🦋.
Schon wieder dichter Nebel ☁️. Aber die Hoffnung auf Sonne besteht 🌞. Aber erstmal Kaffee als Starthilfe ☕️.
Schönen Wochenteilung und Grüße aus dem trüben Süden ☁️ 🇦🇹 👍.
