Did a dance photoshoot today & had to share this #accidentalrenaissance outtake from an intricate group shot. A wardrobe malfunction with a chair resulted in a picture worthy of Caravaggio himself! 🤣 #StLPhotographer #dancePhotography #bellydance #photographer 📸 #photographerlife #StLMade #outtake

A picture I took of the St. Louis Gateway Arch I made this past weekend. The slightly ominous feel matches the general ominous mood many here are feeling right now. #StLMade #StLouis #StL #GatewayArch #blackandwhitephotography #BlackandWhite #art #artphotography #photographersofbluesky

The eye detail of the Yellow-eared Toucanet from this morning. #toucans #birds

A close-up view of a bird's face, focusing on its vivid red eye surrounded by textured blue and green skin. Bright yellow feathers accent the area near the eye, contrasting with the dark, glossy plumage. Part of the bird's large, curved beak is visible on the right side of the frame. The background is a blurred green, drawing attention to the intricate details of the bird's features.

I want to get back to the precipice overlooking the Mississippi in St Louis and get some snow shots, but the hike up there is long and rough in good weather, much less in snow. #photography 📷 #photographer #januarty #photographersofbluesky #stlouis #StL #stlmade #blackandwhite #monochrome

On 15.12.24 I captured this stunning sunset of the River Hull from Drypool Bridge looking towards the Tidal Barrier. The sky exploded with colour. Dark blue, yellow, orange, red & crimson. The same colours were reflected in the Still waters of the river below.

“Howdy, pardner.” Northern cardinal and a fox at Bogota WMA near the Mississippi River in Tennessee. Jan 5, 2019

Northern cardinal adopts a country bumpkin pose with a sliver of dried straw in the corner of its mouth.

Sparrow peers out from amidst a tangle of bare branches. Rows of tiny inverted brown hearts on its otherwise white breast marks it as a fox sparrow.

Boat ramp (or just a flooded road) near the Mississippi River where the cardinal and fox sparrow were hanging out.

Lunita was enjoying foraging this morning at @tapirvalley.bsky.social and the Groove-billed Anis were hitching a ride and gleaning insects that were flushed up from the grasses. #tapirs #costarica #mammals 🌿

A large herbivorous animal with a dark, stocky body is shown standing in a lush, green jungle. It has a distinctive rounded snout and ears tipped with white. Several black birds are perched on its back, seemingly interacting with the animal as it opens its mouth, giving a relaxed or amused expression. The surroundings are dense with foliage, featuring ferns and other tropical plants.

About 35 minutes after the sun set last night, with all of the City of San Francisco lights on, the clouds turned bright pink. Happy New Year, All! ✨🎉✨

Bright pink streaks across the sky in San Francisco last night. It was 35 minutes after the sun set and all of the city lights are on. Bay Bridge with bright tower, Yerba Buena Island, TransAmerica Pyramid has white light on top and Salesforce Tower has blue video on top of building and white lights on in the office part of the building. Water is dark blue with a tint of purple reflected from the sky. Branches from pine tree to the left of photo.

Red Aurora over Italy Image from NASA APOD. Please check NASA APOD for further details and image credits. Date in APOD: 2023-11-06 #Space #Astronomy #Cosmos #Universe #Galaxy #SpaceExploration

What was that red glow on the horizon last night? Aurora. Our unusually active Sun produced a surface explosion a few days ago that sent out a burst of electrons, protons, and more massive charged nuclei. This coronal mass ejection (CME) triggered auroras here on Earth that are being reported unusually far south in Earth's northern hemisphere. For example, this was the first time that the astrophotographer captured aurora from her home country of Italy. Additionally, many images from these auroras appear quite red in color. In the featured image, the town of Comelico Superiore in the Italian Alps is visible in the foreground, with the central band of our Milky Way galaxy seen rising from the lower left. What draws the eye the most, though, is the bright red aurora on the far right. The featured image is a composite with the foreground and background images taken consecutively with the same camera and from the same location. Aurora Album: Selected images sent in to APOD
