This black-and-white Holga photograph shows a stone statue of a religious figure with a smaller winged figure near its shoulder. It was shot at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. Founded in 1838 as a rural cemetery, it had 570,000 interments as of 2024, including many politicians, soldiers, artists, and business figures.

A Ruby-throated Hummingbird completely ignored me in Central Park's Conservatory Garden as it pushed deep into a purple salvia blossom. I was able to get a nice series as it pulled out and then stared me down! 😂😂😂 #Hummingbird #CentralPark #birdsseenin2026

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

Poey’s furrow bee (Halictus poeyi) on wild sensitive plant leaves (Chamaecrista nictitans) CREW pen flint strand lake trails Bonita Springs, Florida 9-20-26 Waking to a dewy world. #insectThursday #colorADay #yellowThu #eck #macro #nature #art #native #bees #bugsky #threewordgenre #pollinators
Macro of a bee perched head-on looking directly forward. Nestled atop a layered arrangement of small, even-pinnate green leaflets, the insect showcases its dense, pale hairs covering its dark face and a prominent bright yellow patch on its lower clypeus. Its dark, segmented antennae sweep upward and outward to its stage-left and stage-right, while its large compound eyes are in sharp focus. The individual green leaflets feature a distinct, thin dark-red margin. The background elements melt into a smooth, dark bokeh blur.

A toddler can look at a Great Dane and say “doggie” and then look at a Chihuahua and say “doggie". No matter how different, a baby can make the connection. When you look a people no matter how different, can you say ‘human being"?

#BlueskyArtShow #Lights Light exhibit at Sensorio in Paso Robles, California. The hills are covered with thousands of solar-powered lights that shift in colors. sensoriopaso.com #ECK #PasoRobles #WestCoastKin #Sensorio #LightExhibition
It is just after dusk and the thousands of colored lights are illuminated. They cover the rolling hills with many different colors, giving the effect of patches of glowing wildflowers. The golfball sized lights are on a stem, so if it is breezy, they will sway with the breeze. They are placed close together to maximize the color and effect. Not seen at night are the scattered small solar panels placed throughout the exhibit. There are paths through the light, so visitors can walk through the fields. Sensorio has added other light exhibits as well, but this is my favorite. Located in Paso Robles, California as a permanent display.

A view of the river Arno, in Florence, from one of the several bridges that cross it. It is dusk with cloudy skies.
There are lights on either side of the river and these are reflected in the water. The clouds can also be seen reflected in the water. A bridge is at the horizon line.

Louisiana Painted-dark Bee (Stelis louisae) on false sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides) Andersonville neighborhood Chicago, Illinois 7-11-25 Re-edit reminiscence from when still lived in the city. #InsectThursday #YellowThu #eck #macro #nature #yellow #art #threewordgenre #native #bees #bugsky
Macro of a bee perched on the bright yellow center of a large wildflower. Viewed in profile facing toward its left, the insect showcases a heavily dimpled black head and thorax marked with distinct yellow bands behind its head and on its shoulders. Its segmented abdomen displays bold, alternating black and yellow stripes. Slender amber-colored legs firmly grip the flower, while its smoky, amber-tinted wings are partially raised along its back, catching a warm glow. The background is filled with the smooth, out-of-focus bokeh of bright yellow petals.

A female American redstart, a warbler, sits on a thin branch next to a tree trunk. She has a gray head and mostly white underparts with orangish spots at her wings. A bit of the bright lemon yellow on her tail is visible.

Steady strokes. Progress comes from rhythm, not force. On the water. And everywhere else.
Photo by Andy Vu. A person in a red canoe paddles through a still, amber-toned bayou lined with towering bald cypress trees draped in Spanish moss. The vivid red of their hat and the boat contrasts against the earthy water and sky-colored reflection. The view narrows into a vanishing point, as the tangled forest seems to lean inward, cradling the silence of the moment under a wide, open sky.

A different eastern phoebe from the one I posted the other day. I seem to be seeing a lot of them lately. #eck #birds
A bird is perched on a gray, lichen-covered branch. The bird is facing the camera with its head tipped up and to the right. In the background, a brownish leaf hangs from above and the rest of the background is blurred greenery.
