I’m saddened to share that my father-in-law, @theotheroldjoe83.bsky.social , passed away on July 13. He truly valued the community he found here on Bluesky. I’m sharing his obituary below and will repost this from his account so that his friends and followers can see it.

I was enjoying a beautiful day and then it became spectacular. Caught these two bald eagles enjoying the day as well. (The dead foliage is not their nest, just dead foliage). #birds #eagles #oregon

These two beautiful bald eagles are high in the pines in enjoying a beautiful sunny day in Portland, Oregon.

From our garden last year, our Plumeria, or Frangipani, plants all blossomed beautifully. This one had a spectacular array of colors, including white, pink, and yellow. The ground cover is purple heart, with some mint in the mix. #Flowers #plants #gardening #photography #Landscape

This tropical flower is called a Plumeria. The one pictured has a spectacular array of colors, including a blend of soft whites, pinks, and yellows. The leaves are vibrant green. The fragrance is very nice too.

Mrs. Painted Bunting is looking at the camera and saying…hurry..hurry Joe before Mr. Fancy Pants hogs the lens! #birdsofbluesky #nature #wildlife #birds #blueskyphotos #TwoferTuesday

Two Painted Bunting on a seed feeder.
The male’s coloring has a vivid blue head, bright red underparts, and lime green back.
Females and immature males
are a pretty soft green color.

I know most bird lovers love Bald Eagles. I do too, but Osprey will out-fish them every day of the week. Even Mondays..😎 #birds #birdsofbluesky #nature #wildlife #photography #osprey #ComeMonday

This regal Osprey is at the very top of a dead tree looking at the river for a fresh fish dinner.

This Osprey was still wet from fishing at Blue Cypress Lake FL.
Getting some sun rays to dry off.

HAPPY SUNDAY! According to eBird this is a Saffron Finch. It’s the first and only one I’ve seen in my area of Central FL. Possibly an escapee caged finch, since they are legal to own. Pretty cute I think. #YellowSunday #birds #nature #birdsofbluesky #photography

This little Finch bird is sitting on a flower pot checking the feeder out.
It’s facing left, is mostly colored.yellow with light brown wing bars. Small pink tuff on the head and big sweet brown eyes.

This beautiful Great Egret is basking in the sun and then flew into a tree where it could feel safer. #birds #shorebirds #nature #egret #BirdsofBluesky

Brilliant white Great Egret enjoying the sun and shade on a hot day.

This is the same bird that flew into a tree to feel safer and scope out the pond. Soft blue sky & puffy white clouds in the background.

Indian Blanket flower. This is a wild one. Species are also easy to grow and available at garden centers. The name is from the color patterns of the flowers that resemble designs found in native American Indian blankets. #nature #wildflowers #birds

This pictured Indian Blanket wildflower has a brown button center with colorful petals of red, pink & bright yellow.

This Florida Scrub Jay just refused to turn its head to the camera to get top postings on Bluesky. Oh well…cheat yourself! 🤗 #Birds #birding #jays #nature

The Florida Scrub Jay is feathered out in blue/gray/black colors. They are quite elusive.
Also, they are protected and cherished here in Florida.
