incredible lack of ball knowledge to confuse the atlanta hawks with the iowa hawkeyes women’s basketball team. it’s impressive how little they know about sports

“Color is a power which directly influences the soul.” – Wassily Kandinsky 🌺🌺 #ColorADay #PinkMon #Flowers #Garden #ECK #Macro #MacroMonday #NaturePhotography #Bloomscrolling

Hot pink and red pelargonium flowers becoming lighter at the center, which are similar to geraniums but vary in structure. These two flowers have a cluster of buds below them on the stem with two buds just starting to open. The background is a blur of greens.

@helenbennett.bsky.social's chosen theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BokehBirds - any bird captured with a soft, muted or blurry background. The Alt theme is #AwkwardAvian - any bird captured in a silly, clumsy or strange position! #Birds #Nuthatch #ECK #Bokeh #NaturePhotography

A white-breasted nuthatch is a small, mostly blue and white bird, with a white face, throat, and breast and a russet belly. It has blue/gray wings and a midnight blue cap that begins at its dark beak and ends at its nape. The nuthatch's head is upturned toward the left as it grasps a curved branch of a water oak tree with dark green leaves surrounding it. A bokeh of green, gold, and blue fills the frame.

Good morning! Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BokehBirds - any bird captured with a soft, muted or blurry background, like this lovely Long-Tailed Tit. Bonus points for any bokeh balls! ☺️🪶📷️ Alt: #AwkwardAvian - any bird captured in a silly, clumsy or strange position! Happy Monday everyone! 🕊️ 👋

A photograph of a long-tailed tit a small, round bird facing towards the right. The bird has a fluffy white head and chest, accented by a broad, dark black stripe that runs over the top of its head from its bill to its back. A hint of soft pink coloration tints its flanks and shoulders. Its bill is tiny and dark, and its eye is framed by a faint yellowish ring. The bird is nestled among several bare, light grey tree branches that cut diagonally across the scene the one above slightly shadowing its head. Two prominent branches cross behind and below the bird, while a softer, out-of-focus branch arches over the top left corner of the frame. The background is a soft, blurred wash of light blue, lilac and pale buff coloured bokeh, with some bokeh balls from the bright, open sky filtering sunlight through the woodland canopy.

Happy #Stunday! The view from the top of the Tromso cable car in Norway was definitely stunning. #EastCoastKin #ECK #PhotographersUnited #photography #ArtYear

A stunning scene of the small Arctic city of Tromso, Norway, taken from a mountain. There are snow-covered mountains in the distance, then a strip of blue water, then a long strip of city with a cruise ship docked, more deep blue water with a bridge on the right, and a strip of land with some buildings on the bottom. The sky is darker blue at the top, getting lighter toward the mountains with a few puffs of clouds right above the mountains.

A spider web sparkles in a rainbow of colors from the late afternoon sun. The background is filled with a blur of tree branches, green leaves, and random spots of light.

A round little bird with a russet head, brown wings, and a white chest with brown and black spots high on its chest (a hermit thrush) sitting on a very skinny branch of a red tip photinia with lots of green leaves surrounding him.

An oldie, but one of my favorites for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLookingIn. A cute little pine warbler peering into the house from the back porch. 💛🐥 #Birds #Photography #ECK #NaturePhotography

A sweet little yellow bird with smudgy black streaks, a pine warbler, grasps the outside window frame of a multi-paned window as it peers through the glass. On the other side: green leaves of a peace lily partially obscured by black chair railings.

BORB! A puffed-up black phoebe in the park near me. It's both brown (despite the name) and borby for #BirdOfTheDay. #borbs #brown #EastCoastKin #ECK #scape #FlyDay #birds #PhotographersUnited #photography #ArtYear

A puffed-up black phoebe bird that looks like a little feathered sphere with legs and a beak. The bird is mostly dark brown with a white belly and white tips on a row of wing feathers. The eye, beak, and feet are black. It's facing about 10 o'clock with its head turned back toward the camera. It's perched on a wooden post with a few bright leaves around it. The background is shades of blurred green with some gold and orange.

#RockinTuesday #ColorADay #BlueTue You need to squeeze through, over and around lots of rocks on the Bishop Peak trail in San Luis Obispo. #ECK #Hiking #BishopPeak #WestCoastKin #Photography #LandscapePhotography #SanLuisObispo #Rocks

Two huge boulders occupy most of the image, one vertically the entire left side of the photo. There is another smaller boulder that uses just over half of the right side of the image. A hiking trail squeezes between these rocks, though in real life, it's not quite as tight as it looks in the image. Beyond the boulders are some green shrubs, and past those is the view of the green Los Osos Valley and half of Cerro San Luis mountain in San Luis Obispo, California. More mountains are in the hazy distance, and the sky is blue once you get above the haze. Small silhouetted shrubbery is in the center right edge foreground, overlapping the smaller boulder. Both boulders are in the shadow of Bishop Peak, the tallest of the Nine Sisters.
