The only Bluesky I will look at over the next 2 weeks, will be that above my head. Sorry not able to respond to all. Shutting down from the UK & Bluesky as I hike and explore Kefalonia. No sewage map required! An image from 2022. 🇬🇷 #coast #kefalonia #landscape #photography
A view of the coastal region on the Island of Kefalonia. In the foreground trees begin to change colour welcoming autumn. The midvround portrays the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea trimmed by forest and cliffs at the edge. In the distance, blue sky and and mountain range.

I'm seeing lots of large bees right now. I'm attempting cell phone shots with no zoom, so I've bumped into quite a few bees and the large ones are very forgiving. This is a male eastern carpenter bee on a horsemint flower. #bees 🐝🌿 #pollinators #bugsky #insects #ECK #nature #wildlife #nativeplants
A large mostly black bee with a fuzzy yellow back and also dusted with grains of pollen on it's wing. It is sitting on spotted beebalm (Monarda punctata)  The bee is an Eastern Carpenter bee (Xylocopa virginica)

Autumn is a time for berries so today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BirdsWithBerries Any bird captured with berries, like this beautiful Bohemian waxwing 📷️ 🪶 ❤️ Alt: #BirdyLongLegs Any bird with legs that look way too long for its body! I'm heading out shortly but I will catch up later. Happy Wednesday! 😊👋
A photograph of a Bohemian waxwing bird perched amidst a dense thicket of cotoneaster branches heavily laden with clusters of vibrant red berries. The bird is positioned near the centre of the frame, facing right as viewed, and has just eaten a berry. Its smooth, greyish pinky brown plumage has a soft, almost velvety texture. The waxwing features a prominent, swept-back crest on its head and a distinct, sharp black mask running across its eyes down to a black throat patch. The bird's wings display intricate markings, including a bold black band outlined with bright yellow stripes along the primary feathers. Its short tail ends in a brilliant, crisp yellow band.  The background is a complex network of tangled branches, leaves and berries. While the immediate surrounding branches and bright red berry clusters are sharply in focus, the foreground and background blurs out softly.

The end of one life and the start of another. From bright yellow and green, to autumnal browns, the sunflower in autumn will release her seeds for nature to feast. The image portrays a sunflower leaning with dried leaves hanging on.

Human geography. Daily life in Cabo de la Vela. The strict geometry of the fence and vibrant garments contrasts with the vast aridity of the desert. #luiscordobapharchive #guajira #cabodelavela #colombia #desierto #documentary #portrait #scape #landscape
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. Optimized for La Guajira documentary photography, Wayuu culture, desert human geography, and Colombian cultural landscapes

A decaying stalk of wild fennel is bent over, all of its blossoms gone with only the skeleton remaining. Dew drops and tiny cobwebs hang from the skeleton, golden due to the blurred background of dried grasses. There are tiny water droplets hanging from the cobwebs. The flower stalks are a light, golden brown.

The sunset turns the sky golden with highlights of yellow and red on the clouds. The receding waves reflect the golden color of the sky and there’s a snowy egret walking along the shoreline.

A Yellow Poppy for #ColorADay #YellowThu #Flowers #BloomScrolling
I visited Hidcote Gardens last Friday and during my bimble around the gardens I found this bright yellow poppy - completely yellow apart from the white stigma on top of the immature yellow seed pod which had a hint of green just below the stigma with another hint of green at the base of the many filaments.

Photograph taken looking down at a skeleton leaf resting on a slightly muddy stone path in the foothills of the Pennines. The leaf is covered in small splodges of golden leaf matter. The areas where there is no matter, lie the veins of the leaf blending in against the stone, only visible due to their ridges.

Spotted this whilst out on a forest wander. Though it was a great example of nature's gold.

Today I saw a field full of beautiful Common Toadflax. Such an uplifting sight especially as I have never seen these gorgeous wildflowers before! The pollinators loved them too! 🫶📷💛🐝 #Photography #InsectThursday #Invert #ColorADay #YellowThu #BloomScrolling #WildFlowerHour #Scape #Nature #ECK
A photograph of a vertical stalk of Common Toadflax flowers being visited by a hoverfly in mid-air coming in to land. The background blurred, soft-focus of the vibrant green grass. The plant features an upright green stem topped with a cluster of pale yellow flowers that heavily resemble snapdragons. Each blossom has an elongated, downward-pointing spur and a two-lipped opening highlighted by a bright, golden-orange centre. Several unopened green buds sit tightly clustered at the very peak of the stalk, while fully opened flowers flare out lower down.  On the rightmost petal is a hoverfly captured mid-flight, its clear wings blurred from rapid motion with its legs just touching the petal. The insect features a black body with distinctive, bright yellow bands across its abdomen. It faces left, leaning its head directly into the orange throat of the blossom to gather nectar.  Taken on a bright sunny day, September 2026 UK

A city streetscape on a bright October day.
The large, curved modern glass building shown is Pilgrim's Quarter on Pilgrim Street in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
Buildings and cloudy blue sky are reflected in the large expanse of glass.
On the right is the end of the Northern Goldsmiths building with its ornate golden Art Deco clock. There is a gilded golden lady figure on top of the clock. She is said to represent the Roman goddess Venus, has arms outstretched to signify progress, and is covered in 24-carat gold leaf.
She appears to be reaching upwards to touch the bright blue sky full of fluffy white clouds.
