It is said that the present is pregnant with the future ~Voltaire 🫶 My future's back in the big corporate world, so my play-time on Bluesky will be much less, starting now. Hope you've enjoyed these last 2 weeks, I've certainly enjoyed all of your eye candy! Peace!! ✌️😶‍🌫️ 📸 Mule Deer, preggers 🦌🌿
A Mule Deer doe with a baby-bump looks into the setting sun from a trail near Moro Rock (not pictured) in monochrome. Once I ramp up and wrap my mind around the 6 million SKUs I'll be working with, I'll be dropping back in from time to time. Stay safe, my friends!

Ocells retallats al cel. Siluetes minimalistes. #Fotografia #Monochrome #ClassicMono #MinimalMonday #ECK
Ocells penjats a les branques sense fulles d'uns arbres. El contrast amb un cel clar, a punta de dia, retalla les seves siluetes i les dels arbres de forma quasi esquemàtica.

Grans formacions de roca sobre els camps de conreu de secà de les Garrigues. Vista en perspectiva d'un cingle rocós que te a dreta i esquerra camps de cereal i d'oliveres. Un camí a la banda esquerra transcorre sinuós vers l'horitzó. Al fons, turons difuminats amb pins i altra vegetació de secà.

#TidesOutTuesday #RockinTuesday #ColorOfTheDay #BlueTue Coon Creek Beach, Montaña De Oro State Park. This beach with caves and tide pools can only be accessed at low tide. #ECK #Scape #TidePool #SeaCave #MontañaDeOro #CoonCreekBeach #WestCoastKin #LandscapePhotography
A beach scene that's in an early morning shadow (because that's when the low tide was!). There is coarse sand, rocks with water puddles, tide pools and seaweed. The tide pools are all reflecting the blue sky, and in the distance are waves rolling in. On the right side of the image are the bluff cliffs, the most prominent one has a large cave chiseled away by the ocean. The cave has two openings...the one seen and one facing the ocean (not visible). This is Coon Creek Beach in Montaña De Oro State Park, Los Osos, California. This beach can only be accessed at low tide.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekBforBack The back of a sunflower is backlit by the sun. #ECK #Sunflower #BloomScrolling #Light
The back of a sunflower is brightly backlit by the facing sun against a black background. The petals are slightly translucent, so the density of the overlapping of the petals creates a deeper shade of yellow. There is a prickly stalk next to the sunflower, its stickers illuminated against the black background.

A photograph of aq small pale blue almost white butterfly with small black spots on its underwings. It is seen in side profile looking to the left as viewed as it feeds on the tall purple flower spikes of Verbena Hastata.  The butterfly stands out, pale in contrast to the darker background as the light its fading just before dusk.

“Waterline” Record-low snowpack, written into the shoreline itself. #EastCoastKin #Photography #Watershed #dronephotography #MountainMonday #DJI #LandscapePhotography #PhotographersofBlueSky #BlueSkyMonday
The frame looks south across a Western Slope reservoir at low light, the water rendered in deep saturated blue against sun-warmed tan mesas. A visible bathtub ring — a pale band of exposed rock and sediment — traces the former high-water line along the near shore and the small peninsulas jutting into the lake, marking how far the surface has dropped. Layered sedimentary ridges rise in the background, their striations catching low-angle sun while shadowed folds recede into purple in the distance. The water is nearly still, holding a near-perfect mirrored reflection of the shoreline hills.

The exposed waterline functions less as a scenic detail than as a measurement — a visible record of drawdown that the landscape itself has kept. Reflection and recession work together here: the mirrored calm of the water contrasts with the eroded, terraced evidence of what the reservoir used to hold.

Big Four Mountain looking as majestic as ever. Early summer at this elevation means the snowpack is still negotiating its exit while everything below it has already moved on. #BlueSkyMonday #MountainMonday #pnw #photography #mountains #cascades #landscape #landscapephotography
Big Four Mountain dominates the frame, remnant snow packed into couloirs and clinging to north-facing ledges well into June. The mountain drops hard to a valley floor that has gone completely green, bright meadow grass and leafing shrubs in the foreground giving way to a dense conifer belt that pushes as far up the slopes as the rock allows. A sharp subsidiary ridge juts into the frame on the left, and clouds trail across a saturated blue sky behind the summit.

A little bit of blue sky, West Glacier, Montana. #iphonephotography #mountainmonday #blueskymonday #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin #photography #photographersunited #photophersofbluesky #mountains #forestfriday #landscape #landscapephotography #montana #scape #glaciers
A landscape of native Montana plantings with colors of red, yellow, and green light up the foreground and wrap around a distant sheer rock outcropping. The steep cliff appears grey, but topped with a large stand of indigenous conifers that appear to run along the wall’s edge. Behind the outcropping, a visual background of sharp peaks now void of glaciers, reach up into the smoke-covered blue sky.

Comfortably warm summer afternoon on the banks of the Willamette River near Salem Oregon. It’s a bit rocky on this side of the river, but a few plants growing out into the water, while the other side of the river is lined with trees and other summer greenery. Pretty strong winds at this time, stirring the surface of the water. Several white puffy clouds, being swept over the trees and the river with the blue sky as background ☮️
