Autumn Has Landed for #Stunday and #OrangeSun by #ColorADay Happy Sunday everyone! #EastCoastKin #ECK #photography #seedhead #gardening #autumn #macro #macrophotography #sunlight (iPhone camera)
Photograph taken five minutes ago in the garden of the seedhead of an iris. I feel it sums up autumn and I'm really rather chuffed with this whilst trying to ignore that my jamas bottoms are now soggy from crouching down in morning dew-covered grass. No judgement that I'm not dressed yet - it's Sunday, a day of rest...and photography!

Image is portrait in dimension with a dark grey background, thanks to my ever trusty shoebox lid. A three-headed iris seedhead fills the frame in colours of olive green, cream, tan, chestnut, dark brown and a glimpses of a wonderful burnt orange. The front most seedpod is the largest and contains a minimum of ten seeds (number goes up each time I count). Each seed looks slightly like it's been gently crushed between thumb and forefinger. They nestle within what looks like two-fingered, chunky, wide-open, cream-coloured pea pod, at right angles to each other. The two other seedheads of the trio sit behind and aren't so open, and are out of focus. Morning sunlight catches areas of the pods and seeds.

Message to self - don't be grumpy that you haven't got anything new to post for Stunday, get off your backside, into the garden and actually look. Got SO many photos within five minutes...and morning dew is a photography gift.

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 Chancleta has been endorsed by a family of three random raccoons who saw him from outside. One of them even stood on our patio chair on two legs, like a person. This is incredible news for Sandal's campaign to represent whatever it is he is running for.

At the top left is a photo of three raccoons beside the words “A FAMILY OF THREE RANDOM RACCOONS.” Below, red text reads “PROUDLY ENDORSES,” followed by “CHANCLETA” in large white letters. At the bottom right is a large photo of Chancleta, an orange-and-white cat looking directly at the camera.

A few feet away from a busy village road, a #WeeBee carries on with its task, extracting nectar from the heart of a Cosmos flower, growing in my garden border, next to the pavement. #Bees #Insects #Pollinators #EnglishVillageLife #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBluesky #SensoryArt #Roads
A Common Carder Bee, fuzzy yellow and white body arched and black legs gripping it in place, sits on the yellow centre of a white, pink-edged Cosmos flower.  A car comes around the corner of the road to the right,  only a few feet away, beside a narrow pavement that leads to the local pub and then the village green. The plant sways as the vehicle rushes past but the bee, with large eyes focused on the nectar-rich bloom and thin tongue slipped down into the heart of the flower, is oblivious, focusing on its work as Autumn advances.

A grey pigeon launches awkwardly downward through leafy garden branches, wings and tail spread wide while its head points toward the ground and its beak tries to reach a nearby berry. Green foliage and thin branches frame the bird against patches of blue sky.

So many birds moving through our yard right now! Robins, juncos, LOTS of tanagers, nuthatches, yellow-rumped warblers, flickers, chickadees, and two Anna's hummingbirds. I love seeing mixed feeding flocks.
A woodpecker called a Northern Flickers is tossing a berry from a Virginia creeper plant growing on a chain link fence into its mouth. The bird has a brown back with black barring, a pale pink chest with black spots, a black bib, a gray head with a long beak, and a pale brown cap.

Never before has a turtle turtled this hard. Zoom in and appreciate The Foot
A fantastic painted turtle stands on a snag in a stream. Turtle has a smooth black carapace with bright red edges. Its neck and legs are a glorious riot of yellow racing stripes. It has its neck fully extended staring at the sky and the back right leg and foot are completely extended. This is an epic pose by a creature at the peak of its powers.

A frontal view of a Least Bittern (Botaurus exilis) (Ixobrychus exilis) perched on vertical green reeds at the water's edge. The small heron is looking directly at the camera, its brown and white streaked plumage providing camouflage against the dense vegetation. Its long legs and large feet are visible gripping the stalks above the green, reflective water. The setting is a marshy wetland in Marin County, California.
