#Alphabetchallenge #WeekMForMachinery #Winter #ECK #photography I post this with reticence. This is from last year’s winter. So carpe diem, my friends! Gather the rosebuds while ye may! ❄️🥶

A gritty, high-contrast black-and-white photograph of a snowblower resting outdoors in a thick blanket of snow. Cold weather and falling snowflakes have dusted the dark metal surfaces with bright white flecks. The stark rectangular handle stands out prominently against the pale, textured snowy ground. In the immediate foreground, a dense, spiky cluster of dark, leafless winter twigs frames the machine from below,

Nestled in the fine lace of a Japanese maple, autumn red creeps along the stems and leaf tips, cradling a stray white feather caught in the branches. #RedWed #ColorADay 🌱 #EastCoastKin #Fall #photography

A close-up photograph of a laceleaf Japanese maple bush featuring intricate, deeply lobed green leaves fringed with rich crimson edges and slender red stems. Toward the center, an arching leaf shows a vibrant shift into fiery red and gold. Tucked into the foliage just below the center rests a delicate, fluffy white down feather, softly illuminated by sunlight against the darker, shadowed interior of the shrub.

Didn’t buy it! But was tempted…such great #kitsch. The eyes got me. #WackyWednesday #ThriftStore #EastCoastKin #photography

A colorful, vertical close-up of a whimsical folk-art resin or wood-carved sculpture depicting three stylized cats perched on a metal wire shelf. Two upright cats—one with ginger-and-black calico patches and the other a black-and-white tuxedo—feature oversized, wide electric-blue eyes and broad, cheeky grins etched with wood-grain chisel textures. Nestled snugly between them at the center is a smaller sleeping kitten curled up with eyes squeezed shut and carved whiskers. The background features softly blurred shop or shelf objects in pastel blues and warm tones.

A great egret stands on some vegetation in the marsh. Its reflection is clear in the water and the golden light of sunrise is hitting the bird

Falls officially here. My beautiful mushroom of the stump in my back yard has dropped its spores and finished its cycle. Last year, there was one. This year, three lovely specimens. I’m sad, but I know it will return. #Mycology #Fungi #BlackStainingPolypore #FungiFriends #photography

A close-up photograph of a mature black-staining polypore mushroom (Meripilus sumstinei) resting on the forest floor. Its dense, ruffled rosettes have turned a charcoal black and deep gray velvety texture after releasing its spores. Fresh green clover leaves surround the fungus, with a single faded autumn leaf resting against its base.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekMForMachinery #JohnDeere #Tractor #ECK #WashingtonState My father and my daughter on family farm late 1970s. A John Deere and a #Honda motorcycle. Thanks for letting me know, @sheena-mck.bsky.social

A nostalgic, grainy vintage color photograph from around 1980 capturing a grandfather and his young granddaughter riding a small motorcycle across open rural farmland. Both are in motion along a dirt path, with the man steering while holding the child securely before him. In the background, a classic green and yellow John Deere tractor rests under a pale blue sky, evoking deep agricultural roots and family heritage.

Tomorrow I will attain 75 years. It’s been quite a ride. #Portrait #SelfPortrait #WabiSabi #侘寂 #photography

An honest, intimate conceptual self-portrait focusing on two hands reflected in a mirror on the eve of the photographer's seventy-fifth birthday. One hand holds a modern orange smartphone, while the other rests open against the glass, showing the delicate skin textures, veins, and lines of a lifetime. Below, the fraying neckline of a worn white shirt grounds the portrait in the quiet reality of poverty and endurance.

"Ornamentation is the principal part of architecture, considered as a subject of fine art." — John Ruskin, Lectures on Architecture and Painting (1854) #ColorADay #BlueTue #Minimalism #GeometricArt #ArchitecturalDetails

A crisp, geometric architectural photograph featuring a vertical column of rich cobalt-blue glazed ceramic tiles framed symmetrically by adjacent partial tiles on either side. Textured, light gray sand-and-cement mortar joints form a clean rectangular grid, highlighting the glossy sheen of the tile glaze.

A quiet coastal landscape photograph taken at low tide. On the right, tall wild marsh grasses with green and golden-brown stalks sway gently on the embankment. The exposed wet sand flats are scattered with rounded dark stones and countless weathered white seashells leading toward calm, pale tidal water in the distance.

Rocks polished by sand and sea. I thought to pick them up to make a cairn. But the tides had a better aesthetic. 🪨 🌊 #RockinTuesday #TidesOutTuesday #nature #seashore #photography

An overhead macro photograph of smooth, rounded coastal pebbles embedded in coarse, wet sand along the shoreline. Fine green strands of sea moss cling gently around the upper stones, set with a tactile, film-like grain that emphasizes the contrast between polished rock and crystalline sand.

A fine-art conceptual still life photograph featuring two vintage black leather-bound volumes of Federico García Lorca's "Obras Completas" with gilded lettering on the spines. Beside them rests an ornate, antique gold frame containing a vintage photograph of a photographer with dark curly hair holding a mechanical 35mm SLR camera to their eye, capturing their own reflection in a mirror.
