Morning #BlueSky! A sciencey post for #twosday. A cool looking Pipevine #butterfly #caterpillar and its #chrysalis. Such colors! #nature #naturephotography #EastCoastKin #WestCoastKin #photographersofBlueSky #PhotographersUnited #naturemakesthebestcolors

A Pipevine caterpillar on a tan rocky ground. The caterpillar is a dark brown with equally spaced tiny orange spikes running down both sides of its body.

A bight, iridescent green, Pipevine butterfly chrysalis against a white/tanish wall.

Morning #BlueSky. Something for #Sunday #Stunday! A simple #stilllife (with shadows). #PeacefulPost #stilllifephotography #flower #bloomscrolling #flowerphotography #naturephotography #nature #EastCoastKin #WestCoastKin #PhotographersofBlueSky #PhotographersUnited #itsthesimplethings

Sitting on a wooden grained table is a vase, half filled with water. In this glass are 3 tulips. One is all pale red with a green stem, another is a mixture of red and white petals, and the third is mostly white with red streaks. In contrast are 2 bright yellow columbine flowers. The flowers show shadows against a gray wall.

Morning #BlueSky. Saturday? Then it’s #BlueSkyArtShow. Maybe a different take on today's theme of #shiny. Here we have an eye's shiny reflection. #PeacefulPost #macro #macrophotography #eye #reflections #aussie #australianshepherd #eyeseeyou

Close up of an Australian Shepherd's eye. The iris is pale gray/blue with a little darker, same-colored corona around a black pupil. In the center of the pupil and into a part of the iris are square reflections of something. Gray, black and tan stiff hairs surround the eye.

Morning #BlueSky. Just your basic confluence of #red with a bit of delicate #white thrown in. Have a great day. #PeacefulPost #flower #bloomscrolling #flowerphotography #macro #macrophotography #naturephotography #nature #EastCoastKin #WestCoastKin #PhotographersofBlueSky #PhotographersUnited

Close-up of a bunch of various colored red bougainvillea petals, with a few tiny white centers. Reflected off the top is sunshine, leaving the lower part of the picture in shadow.

It’s #RoseWednesday, #BlueSky! To me, because of the shadows, this looks like a plastic #rose or a painting. But it’s real! #PeacefulPost #Bloomscrolling #nature #EastCoastKin #flower #FlowerPhotography #onlybeautifulthings #macrophotography #PhotographersofBlueSky #WestCoastKin #dailyflowers

A pale salmon colored rose on its side and facing the camera. The interior is still tight but the outer petals have started opening up. There are a couple dark green leaves in the background.

Sunday #Stunday! Morning #BlueSky. I walked by this and about 10' later it registered on my brain. I had to go back and take the pic. #PeacefulPost #flower #bloomscrolling #flowerphotography #naturephotography #nature #EastCoastKin #WestCoastKin #PhotographersofBlueSky #macro #PhotographersUnited

A picture of a yellowish/greenish brush grass plant going to seed. It has one long leaf and is against a gray/white, very rough background of textured cement. The grass casts its shadow below and to the right.

Candace D. @elvishtalk.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

Another post for the #BlueSkyArtShow. This picture is actually IN the sky, making it a true #skyline for the theme! Below is the #Florida coast. (And the tip of the plane's wing for a bonus.) #EastCoastKin #PhotographersofBlueSky #statescape #seascape #landscape #PhotographersUnited #WestCoastKin

Looking out a plane's window down on the Florida coast, crammed full of highrises, buildings and roads. The coast butts up against the Atlantic Ocean, covered with patchy clouds. In the upper left corner is the tip of the plane's wing. In the center of the sky is the sun.

Candace D. @elvishtalk.bsky.social · 23/08/2025

Morning #BlueSky. Saturday? Then it’s #BlueSkyArtShow. Here's a classic #skyline for today's theme- #SanFrancisco with a sailboat regatta in the foreground. #PeacefulPost #EastCoastKin #PhotographersofBlueSky #cityscape #landscape #PhotographersUnited #WestCoastKin

The muted skyline of San Francisco is set against a dull blue sky with occasional fluffy clouds. In the foreground is the San Francisco bay, reflecting the sun in the waves. In the middle are numerous sailboats, most with colorful spinnakers sailing the waters.

Hi #BlueSky. I know they're fishing, but I always think they're just admiring themselves in the water's #reflections! (Or counting #ripples) #PeacefulPost #birds #birdsofBlueSky #birdphotography #EastCoastKin #WestCoastKin #PhotographersofBlueSky #PhotographersUnited #nature #naturephotography

A white egret (heron?) stands in water but looks like it is standing on its own reflection. Ripples spread out and surround the bird in a circle. Other than the ripples, the water is smooth.

Candace D. @elvishtalk.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

Happy #RoseWednesday, #BlueSky! I love that this #photograph shows the #circleoflife of a rose- from the first green bud stage to the last gasp before the petals fall. #PeacefulPost #Bloomscrolling #EastCoastKin #FlowerPhotography #onlybeautifulthings #macrophotography #PhotographersofBlueSky

This picture shows the circle of life of a rose. In the middle is a white rose which is at its end, has lost its pink color and is about to lose its petals. Surrounding it are 7 other roses, in various shades of pink and in various life stages. From tight green buds, to the first beginning to open pink bud, to larger and more open flowers.

A very large white bird, with a long, pale yellow and deadly looking beak, stands in marshy grass next to still water. The bird’s reflection is in the water along with a dark green branch.

Dark green vertical stalk. Coming off the stalk are large, bright pink, 5 petaled flowers, against the background of a cloudless blue sky. The center of the flower facing the camera is a cluster of white stamen. The flowers alternate with occasional three fingered , green speckled leaves.

One flower petal. The top is white with veins topped with purple spotted veins. At the bottom on either side are purple lines close together to make almost a solid color. In the middle of the bottom part of the flower are thin, purple vertical lines going up with a long, furry, orange patch going up from the bottom, in the middle of the thin, purple lines.

Good morning @BlueSky! Portrait of a Northern Harrier for your Tuesday enjoyment. Notice the facial disc which helps them hunt by sound. #AnimalArtTuesday #raptor #raptorphotography #Birds #Birding #Nature #NaturePhotography #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBlueSky #WestCoastKin #EastCoastKin

Picture of the head and shoulder of a Northern Harrier raptor. The dark brown eye has tan feathers on the top and bottom, with the rest of the head in brown feathers. There is a semicircle of tiny tan feathers outlining the facial disc. This facial disc, which makes it look a bit like an owl, directs the sounds of prey to the Harrier's hidden ears as it swoops low over fields in search of mice and other little mammals for food. The chest and shoulder is reddish tan fading into more yellow tan.
