‘I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.’ Wendell Berry.

#BirdOfTheDay Alt theme: #scruffy
The tawny frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) is a species of frogmouth native to the Australian mainland and Tasmania and found throughout. It is a big-headed, stocky bird often mistaken for an owl due to its nocturnal habits and similar colouring. 
A master of camouflage.

A high-contrast black and white photograph captured from a low angle, looking out from a deeply shadowed, covered area onto a sun-drenched architectural courtyard. Dominating the upper and left portions of the frame is the massive, ribbed concrete structure of a bridge or building, with strong parallel beams receding into the dark background and a large, curved concrete element framing the sky. Light from an unseen skylight cuts through the top, adding texture to the raw concrete. In the middle ground, on a broad, paved walkway, a single person in dark clothing and a backpack walks from left to right, their silhouette sharp against the bright white ground and background. Beyond the plaza, a section of a white, lattice-like skeletal walkway structure curves away. In the far background, under a bright sky, a tall, traditional-style building stands contrasting with the modern architectural forms. A large, dark shadow of the overhead structure is cast diagonally across the foreground walkway, enhancing the high-contrast mood. The image is presented within a white border.

A love letter to the Lea,(I am not sad!) ‘In the gloaming, oh, my darling! When the lights are dim&low, &the quiet shadows falling, Softly come and softly go; When the winds are sobbing faintly With a gentle unknown woe, Will you think of me,&love me, As you did once long ago?’ #eastcoastkin
A black and white photo of a boat and trees and a river and reflections 
Full poem In the gloaming, oh, my darling!
Think not bitterly of me!
Tho' I passed away in silence
Left you lonely, set you free;

For my heart was crush'd with longing,
What had been could never be;
It was best to leave you thus, dear,
Best for you, and best for me.

Bluebird baby food This mama was bringing this caterpillar to her babies in the nearby nest box. #BirdOfTheDay #mouthful #FlyDay #scape #EastCoastKin #ECK #PhotographersUnited #photography #birds #ArtYear
A pretty Western bluebird female perched on a thin bare branch with a fat green caterpillar hanging from her beak. Her body faces toward the camera but her head is turned left. She has a dark beige head and a lighter beige belly with pale orange around her neck and breast. She has lovely brown eyes and a black beak and feet. The branch she's on goes across the screen. There's a thicker vertical branch on the left side as well as another thin branch blurred behind that behind the bird's shoulders. The sky is blue and cloudless.

Rainbow Lorikeets Australia Diet: in canopies feeding on nectar and pollen. They frequently descend to grassy fields in large, highly energetic social flocks. Known as the "clowns" of the parrot world, they are incredibly social. On the ground, chase each other, and are playful and show off.

I paused for a moment this morning thinking about the state of the world & how it can be wildly depressing & feel quite impossible. Then, I looked around & saw the sun illuminating a small meadow, quietly being beautiful. Did it solve anything? No. But it felt a little hopeful🕊️ #photography #words

Not a great quality image, but I still like this landscape in the Blue Hour:
In the foreground a wooded hill top with a few houses scattered around, then more wooded hills, clouds hanging below the tall mountains further back, the rocks still with a bit of the rose color of the sunset. More clouds above the mountain tops.

A geometrical design on a dress or skirt? Daring cutouts? Avant-garde lace? You decide. Stone pattern in a plaza, Vigeland Sculpture Park. Oslo, Norway, August 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #ClassicMono #PalacesAndGardens #PalaceRunway
This monochrome image shows a geometrical pattern in light and dark stone in a plaza of the Vigeland Sculpture park.  The image is taken from a low angle close to the stone, so that we have a good look at its texture; the angle and low f-stop cause the pattern to apparently recede rapidly from our point of view. At the bottom center of the image three lines of dark stone diverge; two exit on the left and right edges of the frame about one third of the way from the bottom, while the third continues straight up the center of the image, where it terminates in an inverted triangle about one third of the way from the top.  In the upper third of the image, part of a circular pattern with a dark, wide, circle as border and filled with symmetrically placed lines, triangles, and curves appears, completing the image.

The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness. — John Muir #SriLanka 🇱🇰 #TreeScape #NaturePhotography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin #ECK 📷 #ForestFriday #Scape
A lush tropical landscape beneath a brilliant blue sky. Dense layers of palms, vines and deep green foliage fill the foreground and stretch into an almost impenetrable wall of vegetation. A single tall coconut palm rises above the canopy, catching the sunlight against the vast sky, with a small white cloud appearing behind the treetops. The strong tropical light brings out countless shades of green and gives the scene a vivid, almost jungle-like abundance.
