"These are nice Mom, but a more elegant vase would better suit my sleeky beauty." Mustn't forget it's #Caturday! #cats #cat #blackcat #catsofbluesky

Good morning Bluesky from Austin, Texas. Even when I'm in the city, I seem to fund the least urban of environments for #urbangaze. #Thicktrunkthursday #scape #cityscape #landscape #Austin #Staceypark

A long image shows a park with tall old oak trees whose branches arch to form a natural frame for tall silver buildings of the city in the distance.

Closing this evening with a throw back to a winter scene of five houses, well one is actually a hotel, for #Alphabetchallenge #WeekVfor5. Can you find all five? One is just barely there. #Eastcoastkin #winter #village #photographersofbluesky #photohour #goldenhour #photography

In an impressionist winter village scene, five houses are viewed on hillsides descending and ascending through a forest of bare trees. A road curves through the scene.

Good morning Bluesky. An actual batcave for today's #WaterfallWednesday. The cave is home to the endangered gray bat, two other bat species, and an endangered cave fish. Though sequestered from the public, one can still walk by and say hello. Feliz Miercoles! #Eastcoastkin #waterfalls #caves #scape

In the distance a long waterfall near bright green vines and moss is seen flowing beneath a cave under a green and russet bluff.

Good morning Bluesky. The rain continues. Not to complain though. The rain fills up our lakes for the dry spell often beginning in July. In the meantime, we can enjoy this roughleaf dogwood by the water. #Mayblooms #rain #nativeplants #eastcoastkin #landscape #lakes #stormhour #photographersunited

The white blooms and green leaves of roughleaf dogwood rise above a shimmering lake. Green hills and an overcast sky form the background.

Closing the day driving by this wall cloud, if that's the proper term. Clouds are very low these days. Rest well Bluesky. #landscape #scape #landscapephotography #stormhour #clouds #rural #photographersofbluesky #photography #Eastcoastkin

A photo taken from a car shows bright green fields and old farm buildings o'er topped by dramatic swirling storm clouds.

Happy #Blueskymonday everyone. Should I maintain suspension of disbelief or confess that it's pouring down rain outside? Think I'll go with the disbelief for the next few minutes or so. #Blueskymonday #Eastcoastkin #landscapephotography #scape #reflections #nature #photohour #lakes #photography

A photograph of a lake and surrounding blue hills shows vivid reflections of sky, clouds, trees, and tall yellow flowers in the still water.

BK told me in no uncertain terms that she did not approve of the photo I posted for Caturday yesterday. She doesn't like this one very much either, insisting these are not her colors, but at least I arted her up a bit. She likes a nice vignette. Goodnight Bluesky 💙 #Caturday #cats #catsofbluesky

Oh my, where has the time gone? it's been two weeks since I checked in on George and friends! I have some goat friends who are just this friendly 🐐

Mustn't forget it's #Caturday! I know there's a cat in there somewhere... #cats #catsofbluesky

A black cat with green eyes is barely visible hiding under a white wicker plant stand.

I'm not sure this beautiful fellow is appropriate for #farmAnimalday, but he was very friendly so I don't think he'd mind. #horses #horsesofbluesky #horsescape

Good morning Bluesky. I like to start the day with a nice colorful landscape, and so here we are, but the theme for #blueskyartshow is #lightandshadow so things may get a little noir-ish around here pretty soon. See you in the light (and shadow...) #Eastcoastkin #landscape #scape #roads #photography

On a sunny day, profusions of tiny, white flowers bloom near cedars by the side of a mountainous road.

Good morning Bluesky. With the changing seasons, favorite scenes become eternally new. Looking for that newness today. #Mayleaves #shade #Eastcoastkin #alone #silent #landscapephotography #lakes #nature #hiking #photohour #paths #photographersofbluesky #photography

On a path by a lake, a wooden bench is dappled by shade from overhanging lush green trees.

Presenting these windblown Virginia bluebells from a few weeks ago, even though they aren't very blue. #smArtist #bluebells #Eastcoastkin #macro #bloomscrolling #floralphotography #flowers #nativeplants #Artyear #gardening

In a close shot from underneath, lavender and white Virginia Bluebells with green leaves are seen blurred and in focus as tossed about by the wind. In the background are trees abd what appears to be a house.

Found while hiking, the mysterious walking beagle rock dog creature. #RockinTuesday #Eastcoastkin #stackedrocks #nature #hiking

In a woodland setting of bluffs and green trees, stacked rocks look like a beagle waking upright on two legs.

Good morning Bluesky. It is very misty wet and green here, and puddles reflect puzzle pieces of sky. Hope the day reflects nature for all of us. Feliz Miércoles. #morning #landscape #reflections #rialto #photohour #Eastcoastkin #nature #spring #photographersofbluesky #photographersunited #Natur

In a morning image, a limestone or granite creekbed or rialto leads to a bright blue sky dotted with clouds. Bordered by lush green trees, puddles of water reflect fragments of blue sky and white clouds.

I've seen hummingbirds overheat and collapse. This video is a great reminder to plant hummingbirds' favorites.

Rockin' into this spring evening with a bluff and bright green American linden tree. I just realized I see a profile in the leaves and a beautiful sleeping profile in the bluff about halfway down. Thank you nature 💚 #Alphabetchallenge #up #Mayleaves #connected #RockinTuesday #Eastcoastkin #nature

Good morning Bluesky and a happy #BlueskyMonday to you from a blue sky filled with fluffy, white Black Cherry blooms. #Mayblooms #connected #Alphabetchallenge #Up #nativeplants #nature #bloomscrolling #pollinatorplants

White and yellow black cherry blossoms on interconnected branches fill the space against the green foliage of the tree and a bright blue sky.
