Sunrise/moonrise 10-04-2026. Santa Cruz, California. Captured by my wife Janice (aka Mimi) using her iPhone 9 while walking the dog. She says, "Cheers everybody, stay cool today!" (predicted temp 100 ºF; 89 ºF realtime.

Pretty good for an iPhone 9. Clouds yellow to orange, pretty spectacular. View is of course to the east, trees in foreground.

Me? Fast asleep!

Moonrise taken with iPhone 9 at same time as sunrise photo. Nicely framed by the trees, Mimi!

Happy Friday, lovelies. I hope this photo makes you smile. I did. It's time to get your happy on and have a good weekend too. If I'm not around much it's because I've got Influenza A and my bed is my best friend. #friday #fridayvibe #weekend #weekendfeeling

Good morning Bluesky friends. Have a great weekend!

I am finding videos of birds which are free and available to download, and share. Rarely is the name of the photographer attached. They are videos with NO information on the subject. I research the birds, and attach information about them. I have learned so much about birds doing this. Collage:

今日は昨日の晴天とは打って変わって朝から雨がパラつき、湿度の高い一日でした。そんな中、汗をかきながら😅撮影した一枚です。本日の #BirdOfTheDay のテーマ #AtOneWithNature に沿ってると思うのですが、どうでしょうね😊🪶 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #OrientalGreenfinch #カワラヒワ #birds #野鳥 #Japan #BirdsSeenIn2026

Two Oriental Greenfinches are captured in midair among the branches of a tree. The upper bird is descending toward the lower bird with its wings and tail spread, while the lower bird faces upward with its wings fully extended and its beak open. Both birds have yellow-green plumage with dark markings on their wings and tails. Pale tree trunks and branches are visible behind them, surrounded by dense, blurred green foliage.
木の枝の間を飛ぶ2羽のカワラヒワを捉えている。上の個体は翼と尾羽を広げて下の個体に向かって降下し、下の個体は上を向いて翼を大きく広げ、嘴を開いている。2羽とも黄色味のある緑色の羽色で、翼と尾羽には暗色の模様が見られる。背後には淡い色の幹や枝があり、その周囲を緑の葉がぼけて取り囲んでいる。

Catch of the day! I went out this morning and captured this American Redstart - a real rarity on the Pacific coast. He even posed with some nice bokeh, so this one made my day (or month). He had to have known what was on the #BirdoftheDay menu. #BokehBirds #birds #birdphotography #wildlife
