Sorry, I was away working all day But I'm a moon-driven photographer, are you? So it's time to post #moon #forest #Silhouette #scape against the Waxing Gibbous moon #storytelling #luiscordobapharchive #eastcoastkin #art #photographer #moonrise
Vertical orientation twilight landscape photograph. A waxing gibbous moon hangs high in a sky that transitions from deep blue at the top to soft pink and gold near the horizon, with thin bands of cloud crossing the frame. A single bird is visible in flight low in the sky. Along the bottom edge, a dark silhouetted treeline and hillside fence run horizontally across the frame, backlit by the warm glow of dusk. Optimized for moonrise landscape photography, twilight silhouette scenes, and rural dusk sky documentation.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today from @helenbennett.bsky.social is #BestBeaks. Here's one of my favorites - a great blue heron. This beautiful creature was at the top of a light pole on Okaloosa Pier casually scanning the water below. #Birds #NaturePhotography #ECK #Heron #Florida
A great blue heron, a tall gray-blue bird with a long curved neck, a white head with black plumes at the crown, and a long orange bill stands atop a light post along a fishing pier. It's looking into the distance, over the water, most likely scanning for its breakfast.

(American) Green tree frog (Dryophytes cinereus) on climbing hempvine (Mikania scandens) CREW pen flint strand marsh Bonita Springs, Florida 10-1-26 Vigilant among the autumn buds. #ColorADay #greenSat #eck #wildlife #nature #threeWordGenre #art #macro #macroPhotography #native #herps #marshlife
Macro of an American green tree frog perched on a sweeping green leaf of a climbing hempvine. Viewed in profile facing toward its right, the small frog displays a smooth, metallic bronze-brown body accented by a brilliant, vivid yellow lateral stripe running beneath its large, metallic-copper eye, above a bright lime-green throat. A dense, elegant branch of clustered white and pink wildflower buds reach upward to frame the leaf. The scene is focused against a dark, velvety black background, isolating the marsh textures.

Gracklepalooza is winding down, but it’s been a good one this year! While most are gone, there are still a few around though! This male Common Grackle was flying to the next tree over, and wanted to make sure we got a good look at his “common” colours🤣 #Birds 🪶
A male common grackle flys against a dark background. He is flying right to left and his wings are down so we can see the gorgeous purple iridescence! 
His head is a vibrant blue that sets off his yellow eye!

Scale for the scale! My last non-Cornish Rex cat who was a svelte 20 lbs. and my first Cornish Rex who was 9 lbs. When I took the ginger to the vet first time she said "He has big paws, gotta warn you he may get up to 10 lbs" 🤣🤣🤣*GASP*🤣🤣🤣 I had to get him a cat box the size of a kiddie pool

We have contact! For Luine Binx went from "This is pretty cool" to "You are the annoying little sister I never wanted" in ~20 min. We'll take it! Esp. since the only other cat Luine has *ever* seen was my a neighbor's tabby whom she repeatedly tried to kill through the sliding glass door. #cats

No one can resist the lure of the interactive cat toy! For scale, Luine is 7.5 lbs and very tall cat. I'm thinking Binx may be ginormous before she's done (she's 2 days shy of 13 weeks) - but ?? Been a minute since I had a kitten so ?? #cats #becurious
