Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #EFG. I think this great blue heron fits well. It did a low and slow flyby as i photographed skimmers. Low and slow is good as my tracking skills are not ninja-like. #photography #wildlife #ECK #birds #BirdsInFlight #birdsky #birders #herons #biodiversity #nature

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #EFG, I have a Great Blue Heron. #Photography #Birds #Wildlife #ECK
A great blue heron is standing perfectly still in a small pond. There it a lot of underwater growth in the pond and numerous water lilies are floating on the top. It is a cloudy day, so the water looks very green as it reflects the trees and reeds that surround the pond.

Misty morning pond. Norwich VT, September 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Scape #Landscape #Stunday
This image shows a view of a still, reflective pond on a misty morning seen from behind a set of tall green bullrushes.  The eye is captured by a central rush, rising from the lower right corner, whose tip ends in a brownish-orange seed head at nearly the center of the image.  This rush draws the eye to the far left shore of the pond, where another set of rushes and bushes are reflected in the nearly mirror-like surface of the pond.   Behind the central rush, other slightly more distant rushes rise from left to right, framing a tree on the right shore of the pond, and its reflection in the water.  The image is finished by the appearance of part of a willow on the left border of the frame, and more distant trees behind the pond that gradually vanish in the mist.

Bench decked with flowers, and surrounded by trees and fog. Norwich VT, September 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Scape #Landscape #ColorADay #BWFri #ClassicMono
This monochrome image shows a bench on a grassy field at the intersection of two dirt roads.  The bench appears in the foreground of the image, angling upward from the lower right corner to the left edge of the frame about one third of the way from the bottom edge.   It is surrounded and partially covered by small, climbing white flowers and their greenery.  Behind the bench in the midground is a stone wall on the left, ending at a tree that rises about one third of the way from the left edge of the frame.  Behind this large tree are the dirt roads, then other more distant trees that become progressively more obscured by fog in the distance.  The image is finished by a blanket of fog that fills the upper right corner.

documentary photograph capturing daily life in the arid landscape of Cabo de la Vela, La Guajira, Colombia. A long barbed-wire fence with concrete posts runs horizontally across a dry, rocky clay hill, splitting the frame. A series of brightly colored garments and textiles hang from the wire, catching the strong desert wind. To the right, a person in a traditional long, patterned orange tunic (manta guajira) and a cap walks parallel to the fence line. The upper half of the image consists of a vast, clear, pale blue sky. The composition relies on strong linear perspective, stark tonal contrast between the desert floor and the clothing, and deep focus.
