Not every supermodel gets a spotlight. Some just show up at the bird bath, spread their wings, and work the runway. 🕊️✨ #BirdOfTheDay #BirdSupermodel #UnsungBirds #MourningDove #BirdPhotography #PoetryOfNature

A mourning dove poses on the lip of a bird bath with its wings up and body lifted onto its pink toes, looking remarkably like a supermodel strutting down a runway. Young mourning doves perch on either side of the bird bath, watching the performance. 🕊️

Soft shelter beneath the huckleberry thicket. Mourning Doves sleep through a snowstorm. 🕊️❄️ #BirdOfTheDay #BadWeather #MourningDove #BirdsOfBluesky #BirdPhotography #PoetryOfNature

A pair of Mourning Doves sit nestled together beneath a huckleberry thicket during a snowstorm. Their feathers are fluffed against the cold, and both birds have their eyes closed as they rest on the snow-covered ground. Snow blankets the foreground, with fallen leaves, twigs, and green foliage visible beneath the thicket behind them.

Wings open, not flying. Just a little mourning dove being a little more dove. 🩶🕊️ #Stunday #BirdOfTheDay #WingsOpenNotFlying #Blue #mourningdove #PoetryOfNature

A mourning dove perches on the edge of a shallow, pebble-lined birdbath with its wings spread wide. Its soft blue-grey feathers are fluffed against the cool autumn air, and it looks calmly to the left. The background is softly blurred grasses and foliage.

Close-up photograph of water beads texturing a windowpane, transforming the landscape beyond into Monet like patterns of icy blue, warm gold, deep green, and soft gray. A poem in appears lower-left of center: “Winter paints / first beads / of light / along my / window pane.”

Yesterday, at Dance to Heal the Earth, a 360° sun halo appeared and stayed for hours. 🌞🌈 We drummed. We sang. We danced. We witnessed. It was a magical day. ✨ @handcranked.bsky.social #StunDay #DanceToHealTheEarth #PoetryOfNature #SunHalo #EarthMagic

A brilliant 360° sun halo forms a luminous circle around the sun above Dance to Heal the Earth. High, thin clouds filled with ice crystals bent the sunlight into the ring—a beautiful atmospheric phenomenon that can encircle the sun completely.

Wishing you all a beautiful, reverent autumn. 🍂 May we be mindful of what this season has to teach us.🍁 With love from NanLeah & Sasquatch. 🐿️ #PoetryOfNature #Autumn #NatureLovers #Squirrels #Reverence

A close portrait of Sasquatch, a gray squirrel, sitting upright on a pebble-covered birdbath. He faces to the right, his paws nestled gently against his chest. His large dark eye reflects the light, while silver-gray, brown, and white fur catches the detail of his face, chest, and shoulders. Soft green woodland surrounds him in the blurred background.

Sometimes connection is this quiet: Mama lies down, I settle, and neither of us needs do anything more. #StunDay #deer #DeerOfBluesky #ColumbiaBlacktail #PoetryOfNature

An adult Columbia Blacktail doe lies resting on the ground in a wooded backyard, photographed from her level at close range. She faces slightly to the right, her large ears upright and her dark eye bright and attentive. Green foliage fills the background, with grasses and fallen branches around her. Her expression and relaxed posture convey a quiet, peaceful presence.

A close-up photograph of a small green fern frond unfolding against a very dark, softly blurred forest background. The frond curves from the shadowed background toward the foreground, with its fresh green leaflets catching the light and subtle autumn colors fading into the darkness behind it.

Even here, a life ended, the world asks us to behold beauty. 🧡✨ #StunDay #PoetryOfNature #ArtInNature #MacroPhotography

A dead termite queen floats on the surface of a birdbath. Her reddish-brown body is surrounded by delicate, translucent wings with intricate clusters of tiny white markings. One wing extends toward the upper left, while others overlap beneath her body. The water reflects blue sky, pale clouds, and surrounding greenery.

For your#FlyDay: Cloudy day. Two doves. One youngster, one adult. The youngster is watching me. The adult is relaxing with its right wing luxuriously stretched. #FlyDay #Birds #MourningDove #PoetryOfNature #BirdsOfBlueSky #BirdwatchingGoesBothWays

Two doves lie in brown summer grass on a cloudy day. The young dove on the right looks directly at the camera. It has scalloped feathers, its ear patches are still visible, and it’s growing adult feathers on its head and neck. Its wings are down by its side, revealing dun and powdery-blue plumage along its back and flanks. Beside it, an adult dove lies on its left side with its right wing fully stretched over its body, obscuring its head. A few green blades of grass, stones, and stones are visible in the foreground.

She made the decision herself. About 3½ months old, this little doe approached me without Mama present as her twin sister watched. She took an apple from my hand and nuzzled my fingers. A first for us. A new wild neighbor. 🦌🤎 #PoetryOfNature #Wildlife #Fawn #DeerofBlueSky #Nature

Close-up portrait of a Band-tailed Pigeon facing right. The bird has soft lavender-gray head and plumage, a bright yellow bill with a dark tip, and a striking dark red eye. A white crescent marks the back of its neck above layers of dark green iridescence. The background is softly blurred green woodland.

She feeds on the echinacea and suddenly the whole world is a flower. 🦋🌺 #FlyDay #Butterfly #PaintedLady #PoetryOfNature #Pollinators

A Painted Lady butterfly rests on the bristly cone of an orange echinacea flower. Its wings are folded upright, showing intricate brown, cream, black, and coral markings, including several eyespots. Long orange petals surround the orange-and-green flower cone. The butterfly and flower are sharply detailed against a soft, nearly black background.

Some things don’t need to bloom to be beautiful. A weathered fir cone, hanging in the late forest light, caught my attention—and I haven’t stopped looking at it. #StunDay #PoetryOfNature 🌲✨

A weathered grey Douglas fir cone hangs from a slender branch against a softly blurred green forest background. Large glowing circles of white light surround the dark, sharply detailed cone, creating a luminous, dreamy effect.
