Helios begins #photography #nature #sunrise #sun #clouds
Low flat landscape in darkness. The sun is just peeking over a line of hazy clouds as a bright white tiny dot 1/5 up from the bottom. The rest is sky and clouds with bright yellow highlights hitting the clouds and a wash of golden and orange light underneath. iPhone no waits. Sky is moody blue above the last of the clouds.

I'm chasing fall colors at this point since there isn't much going on out there as far as leaves changing. Yellow-rumped warbler. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky
Yellow-rumped warbler with brown, orange and white feathers on its body and yellow patch on its tail perched in a tree with fall colors of orange, green and yellow in the background.

#BirdOfTheDay is brown. Alt is #Blue. Mr. Mountain Bluebird is the bluest of blues! Except he isn't because blue color in birds is cause by refraction not pigment-- Wait! Don't stop reading! I'm not saying he's not gorgeous! Just not blu-- #birds #becurious

Yesterday, NASA broke a record. The longest distance travelled by a vehicle on the surface of a world other than Earth. The Perseverance rover has now driven 45.22 km, beating the previous record of 45.16 km by the Opportunity rover. Perseverance did the distance in 5.5 years to Oppy's 15.

Misty autumn vibes... ; ) Ellerburn trail Dalby forest #Yorkshire
An photo taken from along the ellerburn trail in dalbyforest. In the foreground, green bushes and a wire fence frame a grassy field where a black and white piebald horse stands looking to the right, with another dark brown horse grazing nearby to its left. The grassy field slopes upward toward a grey farm building nestled at the base of a steep hill. The hillside is covered in tall pine trees shrouded in light mist under an overcast sky, with lush green leafy branches framing the top right corner of the view

Dahlia ‘Fire and Ice Lemon’ has white petals streaked with bright lemon-yellow and an orange-yellow center like a sunburst. While treated as a perennial in frost-free regions, its tubers need to be dug up and stored or heavily mulched in colder climates #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Autumn #Garden

Shaggy mane mushrooms in our front yard. Norwich VT, September 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Scape #Landscape #Nature #FungiFriends #MacroMonday
This image shows three shaggy mane mushrooms growing from a hillside covered with decaying leaves and mulch.  Two of the mushrooms are in the foreground, and have the bell-shaped caps covered with the white scales that give these mushrooms their name.  The third mushroom is in the midground, and its cap has fully opened like a dinner plate with a white, shaggy center and black rim.  The front mushrooms appear in the left two thirds of the image, rising to about one third of the way from the top, while the back mushroom is in the left third, occupying the upper two thirds of the image.  The hillside is a mix of deep browns from the mulch, with scattered yellow and red from fallen leaves.  The image is finished by the appearance of a blurry grey and black rock in the background in the upper third of the image, with hints of bright green moss covering it here and there.

Some mallards have colorations that I can't explain, but they are striking to me. This one seemed unusual--taken yesterday at the usual place. Happy #MallardMonday! #Birds #Photography #Nature #ColoradoLagoon
A mallard with the iridescent green head and yellow bill swims by from right to left.  He has a rich chestnut colored body and pink feet paddling just beneath the water's surface.
