Okay, one more for #BirdOfTheDay alt theme, #badweather. A Hummingbird, watching the sky and wondering when it is going to stop raining so he can dry off. Is rain bad weather? Like so many things, it all depends . . .

#BirdOfTheDay #BlueSkies Accidentally posted one for this a minute ago without knowing today's theme! Here is another one—an Eagle, coming in for a landing against a blue, blue sky.

An Oriole, taking a leap into #BlueSkyMonday to start the week. Taken earlier this spring. It was a good year for Orioles here. Have a BlueSky week.

#BlueSkyArtShow #3rdplace This is a tough one, but here it is. One of these cars came in first place, one came in second place, and one came in third place. Really, all of them ended up looking like they lost but probably had fun doing it! Even if you only come in third place today, have fun.

#BirdOfTheDay #bestbeaks Who can say which beak is the best beak? You could go with this Tern's beak, or you could try to pick a winner from all the shore birds in the second image. Even if you could not decide on a winner, at least you would be at the beach, right?

#BirdOfTheDay #Black&White How could I forget crows with my first post for this? This crow was taking off against a bright gray background which made it impossible to get anything but a colorless silhouette image, which was okay with me!

#BirdOfTheDay #vivid Vivid is in the eye of the beholder, right? So, is the beholder's eye vivid? Two Tree Swallows, ignoring each others' vividness.

#BirdOfTheDay #Black&White Birds without color? Outrageous! Just kidding. Here is a duck, leaving a trail of sparkles to follow home if he gets lost.🤪

#WhateverWednesday? #WeirdWednesday. Do they even exist? Anyway, here is a picture that might fit them. I don't know what these two bugs are doing, but I am pretty sure I don't want to know. Have a great Wednesday.

#Twosday I don't take many flower pictures, so why not? Here are two twos. Isn't that some kind of ballet thing if spelled differently? Maybe if they were dancing flowers? I will stop now, and we can all agree that I probably should have stopped minutes ago . . .🤪

Early post for #RockinTuesday. How many times have I used a rock for a chair to sit and look out over beautiful water? Too many to count. And I am always looking for the next rock chair to occupy and look out again!

#BlueskyArtShow #lights. How did I not think of lighthouses right away? A lighthouse, backed up by some natural light. Have a great weekend.

So, it is "Bluebird of Happiness Day" and, more importantly, "National Punctuation Day." Yes!?—,:

#BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #Corvids Not the most beautiful but definitely one of the most interesting birds.

Almost forgot #BlueSkyMonday! Here is a plane zooming by the moon against a blue sky.

#BirdOfTheDay #LightAndShadow A nuthatch, crisscrossed with all kinds of light and shadows from a feeder. Hope your week is crisscrossed with lots of good stuff.

#BirdOfTheDay #LightAndShadow Okay, another one. A little Nuthatch casting a long shadow.

Last #BirdOfTheDay #CaptionThatBird "I don't know who the old clown is either. He just sits there with his camera all day. Either his camera has a screw loose, or he does. I am going with the latter." Good night.🤪

One more early for #Stunday. Stunning? Maybe. Rusting? Definitely.

We have seen a lot of bees this year also and were glad to see them. Sometimes they came a little too close ("Just sit still and the bee will fly away"—my knee), but it was all good.

#BirdOfTheDay #CaptionThatBird "Aaah! Ooh! Yeah! That's better! Now, what were we talking about?" I will try to keep my posts for this one under 100, but as you know, I cannot resist posting stupid words.🤪

Early for #Stunday A little of everything reflected in the windows of an old, dilapidated building, including an old, dilapidated man taking its picture.

TimBert @timbert.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
So, #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Elegant, alt. is #Scruffy. I like it. Here are my attempts at portraying these. I said "portray" instead of "show" because it sounds more elegant!🤪
