Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 16/02/2026I would say the flower is the most important especially if you're not picking it and instead you're taking a photo of it to keep it for all your life! 010 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 09/02/2026While USA is frozen in the ICE, France is drowning under heavy rains. So it's time to remember what migrants can bring to the beauty of a country. Sympetrum fonscolombii is one of the most migrating dragonflies, so, it is called the nomad dragonfly! #EastCoastKin #MacroMonday #Dragonfly 0160 0

Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Parthenay is a medieval town with beautiful streets from the middle age, of course, but with its preserved hedges, sometimes, you feel about a knight of the seven kingdoms... 0140 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 06/02/2026A wine and cocktail bar just in front of a car park, that's very funny! And a bit dangerous too. 000 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 06/02/2026For #ForestFriday I'm coming back in the last days of last year when everything was frozen in the forest of Secondigny in french Poitou. #EastCoastKin 2190 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Three images are good, the first because snow is falling in front of the red paint, so it looks more pink. The second with the reflection of the mountain on the pond.And I'd prefer the last for the long exposure on the water and its vivid colours, its depth. So I'm not a robot! 110 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 03/02/2026When you're moving the camera during exposure, I think you can also change the colours, because accuracy don't have to apply in that case. But for identification of a plant or an animal, keep the true colour is necessary. So be creative and know your limits! Viennay quarry, Poitou, France. #ICM 0140 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 01/02/2026#BlueBrewBooks This is the book I'm reading now, Féroce by Benoît Vincent. I don't think there is any translation for this French book. It is about the search of a forgotten book related to the apocalypse, in the same time, it's a naturalist journey. The next book will be the South, in English! 071 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 01/02/2026For #Stunday I have chosen an almost full moon from yesterday. The cold moon is tonight, but there are a lot of clouds now! A day before and a day after full moon, you have around 95 % of its light, and it's difficult to see a difference! #Scape #EastCoastKin 0302 0

Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 30/01/2026For those who are preferring steady images, I've also taken some static pictures of my fallen giant. Perhaps I ought to join a vomit bag with my precedent photos, sorry. #EastCoastKin #ForestFriday 1222 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 30/01/2026For these images, I tried to make the fall of this tree visible with a movement of my camera during the exposure. In Poitou this winter we have a lot of wind, but this was the only time with speed around 100 km an hour (62 miles) #ForestFriday #EastCoastKin #ICM 2183 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 24/01/2026It's too cold now, even on BlueSky! So I'm giving you a golden #CloseUp It's a protected species in the lily family, Gagea bohemica or the early star of Bethlehem. And it will be flowering soon, at the beginning of February. #EastCoastKin #AlphabetChallenge #WeekCForCloseUp 1423 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 24/01/2026The beginning of year was very #Cold now in western France it seems to be an early spring, especially if our weather is compared with that's occurring now in the US! #EastCoastKin #BlueskyArtShow 0313 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Denis Olivier is a great photographer, he shoots in black and white very contrasted images. Some are very sharp realized with the best lenses. But he has a Holga too and he has a great talent to choose between these two cameras, each has its own personality! 010 0

Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 19/01/2026This day is told the to be the most boring day in the year, the "Blue Monday". To stay in the mood, lets discover a winter morning at Parthenay in french Poitou along the river le Thouet. #BlueMonday #Scape 1232 0

Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 11/01/2026I'm French and I know in Germany, the beret was the uniform of non conformist youth. And sometimes Spike Lee is also wearing a beret. But if you prefer the french version, don't forget the baguette under your arm 🤣 130 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 11/01/2026And now, the view from the ruined house of 1947 I've just posted. It's near Parthenay in Poitou, France. #EastCoastKin #Stunday 1181 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 11/01/2026This is the house of my dream, "mon coup de coeur." It is a small farm built in 1947. To have inscribed the date tells it was a huge moment in the life of his builder. What was his life ? There's such a house in Capra's Its a wonderful life. #EastCoastKin #Stunday 0120 0

Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 04/01/2026In France, this year we have a "normal winter". That is to say in these times of global warming a winter that only arrives once in ten years! In about ten days we had a white Christmas, frozen lakes... That is perfect to wish you a happy new year! #EastCoastKin #Stunday 1241 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 31/12/2025As a protection against the cold, but for many other reasons, it's important to stay together. So happy New Year Eve ! Parthenaise cows in the snow, December 25th 2025. 0171 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 25/12/2025I wish you a merry Christmas and I hope you had it white. That was the case here in french Poitou. But it's just one event in an important trend of global warming! 1150 0

Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 21/12/2025This week I've run two times to catch the fog. Wednesday I missed it. But I took this image. It's near the lac du Cébron, in Poitou, France. And yesterday I succeeded to catch the fog, but that's another story... #EastCoastKin #Stunday 0110 0

Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 12/10/2025This weekend was quite foggy in the morning, you will see it soon... Anyway we had a great blue sky in the afternoon.

Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 26/09/2025The lac du Cébron is always a place I can connect with nature: from time to time an osprey in fishing in winter, you can see about 30 species of dragonflies. Or you can also admire the #Scape ! #EastCoastKin #LongExposure #Lake 0151 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 26/09/2025A few days ago I was totally impressed by a shot in Andreï Tarkovsky's Stalker. It's a movie about a room that can fulfill all your desires. But to reach it you need to be guided by a stalker, because it is very dangerous. And there was a shot of rocs covered by moss... I've made something else. 0161 0
Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Murnau's Nosferatu for one of the most horrifying scenes I've ever seen: a field shaken by the wind! It was after a lot of tension and there you understand what suspense is. 000 0

Thierry Wattez @thierrywattez.bsky.social · 23/09/2025A few weeks we had some wind, with 50 miles an hour it was less than a tempest but for this lake in Poitou, it was huge ! Is it enough for #TidesOutTuesday ? #EastCoastKin 0160 0
