An Anna’s hummingbird for the #BokehBirds theme of #BirdOfTheDay Water drops left by a recent rain shower are creating striking white bokeh balls. #birds #nature #photography #ECK #bokeh #hummingbird

A male Anna’s hummingbird is perched on a down curved twig, and on the lookout for rival males with his long bill facing up. In the background is an out of focus vertical branch of a coral tree (Erythrina) with red flower buds and white bokeh balls caused by rain drops.

Bright red Cardinal Flower, native to our area. A bright spot in the woods, yet you had to slow down and quietly observe your surroundings in order to see it. #woods #flowers #nature

My name is Jeff Dillon and I'm a Canadian landscape painter. This is my art and I'd love to hear what you think. Jeff #CanadianWildlife #NatureInspired #BirdPainting

I wanted to capture a raven as both a natural and symbolic presence within the Canadian landscape. Ravens are known to be particularly intelligent birds, even remembering the faces of people they deem friend or foe. The swirl on the forehead of the bird is meant to indicate a higher being, while the expressive brushwork brings focus to a seemingly everyday sighting.

Pink-purple starfish attached to a boulder. During low tide rock surfaces usually covered by the ocean water become visible, revealing starfish, urchins, and other marine life.

Seeing so many pictures of nature here on Bluesky makes me realize I need to get outside more often. The last days have been extremely hot, and now the air is all smokey because of wildfires. The new normal? I took this picture of a Sara Longwing butterfly a while ago. Enjoy! #nature #butterfly

When I first spotted this butterfly a couple of hours ago, the first thing I had to do was stop my hands shaking. It's one of the rarest butterflies in France, a vanishing species in much of Europe. It's the mountain Apollo (Parnassius Apollo). Just in time for #InsectThursday #lepidoptera

I painted this in tribute to two master artists, David Hockney and Paul Cezanne. It features pines that I saw during my visit to Cezanne's hometown. Hockney, Cezanne, and I have always loved trees throughout our careers. I hope it is a fitting tribute. Pictured: Cezanne's Pines, 2026 #art #tribute

I recently visited Cezanne's hometown of Aix-en-Provence in southern France. I stood where he painted his famous "leaning" mountains (yes, the mountain really does lean!) All around me were immensely tall pine trees that swayed in the wind and caught the late afternoon golden light. I stood enraptured by these trees, taking about a hundred photographs of them, while I wandered around Cezanne's hilltop.
This painting is a tribute not only to Cezanne but also to David Hockney, who just passed away a few days ago. Hockney loved trees as I do--and when I first began my career as an artist, I was absolutely inspired by Hockney, who was one of the most famous living painters of his time... and he painted trees and landscapes as I did. I also admire how Hockney (and Cézanne) both painted in their own signature styles, creating landscape paintings from their unique perspectives and in ways no one else was doing.
I hope they appreciate my tribute, wherever they are.
