I haven’t posted in a minute, but I really like how these turned out 📸 . #photography #HumansOfBluesky #MonochromeMonday
A black and white photo of a person sitting pensively on a stone wall beneath a lamppost. The background is mostly black except a few scattered lights from the city below. The foreground is also mostly black except the lamppost and the contours of the wall and person it illuminates.A black and white photo of a man play guitar under the light of a lamppost. Just above the man are two light trails tracing planes in the distance. The man was mostly still, but moved enough to cause distortion on the head of the guitar.

I felt so lucky to catch these guys up close right in my neighborhood. Looks like we’re on the edge of a migratory area, and there are only a handful of Merlin sightings within about 20 miles. #BirdOfTheDay #BestOfTheMonth #birds #🪶

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #rock meaning any bird perched on a rock. The alternative is #longbeak any bird with a long beak. I’ve went with both themes and the stunning Oystercatcher, my favourite shore bird. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A striking Eurasian oystercatcher stands on a lichen-covered rock by the sea. The bird has a glossy black head and back, a white underside, long pink legs, and a vivid orange-red bill. Its bright red eye stands out sharply against the dark plumage, while the blurred blue water behind provides a soft coastal backdrop.

Reposting one of my favorite shots I’ve taken so far for the #BirdOfTheDay theme 'Pairs Of The Same Birds'. I took a few of the waxwing in the back, when the second one photobombed with a berry in its mouth! #DailyDouble #TwosDay #birds #EastCoastKin
