Wonderful!

Ooh, I held my breath through that!

A view from the dirt and rock shore of a lake looking across placid water to the cloudy sky. The dark clouds are reflected in the water as sun rays push through them in the middle

My bad, posting this a bit late (all of these were threaded before, but I just like to keep the info easy to find). Getting back on track now

Made me happy seeing it!

A painting of a group of long-tailed tits sitting in a winter tree. The painting features the trunk and branches of a small tree with six long-tailed tits sitting among the branches. The background is blue and pink with some shimmery areas. The Long-tailed Tit is easily recognisable with its distinctive blush, black and white colouring. It also has a tail which is bigger than its body, and a bouncing flight. An original art work, please note that the frame is not included. Watercolour and mixed media painting on acid free watercolour paper. Approximately 6x8"(15.24 by 20.32 cm) will fit an 8x6" standard frame.

Long-tailed tits are flying balls of fluff. These tiny birds might just be our cutest bird.

😍😍 magical moment

A tufted titmouse sits on a tree branch that slopes upward from left to right through the lower two-thirds of the image. The titmouse appears in profile at the center right in the image, and has a grey back, wings and crest, and off-white belly, with hints of reddish-brown under the wings. The titmouse and the branch its sitting on are fully in focus, as is another smaller branch below them both. Both above and below the titmouse numerous other out-of-focus branches can also be seen, as well as some beech leaves, giving rise to some nice bokeh in much of the scene. The remainder of the background is the greyish white of a cloudy day.

A tufted titmouse sitting on a branch in the woods, looking very fluffy! Norwich VT, April 2026

Thank you!

Me too! I think they are very cute but I’ll still wash them off with soapy water.

an image of two brave souls exploring Skogafoss' large splash zone, which is continuously blasted by icy mists that quickly freeze into long crystal shards along the lower canyon walls and foreground, making the entire area extremely beautiful but also extremely treacherous for walking. In the background a majestic curtain of water plummets into a white frothy mist

A black and white composite photo of the old white church from the movie The Birds with an overlay of a photo of a group of Canadian geese flying. The church is casting a large shadow in front of it. In the back on the left, you can see the school from the movie.

"The Birds"

Getting artsy for #BirdOfTheDay #LargeBirdsInFlight as I'd already been playing with a composite of this photo I took of the church from The Birds and one I took of flying geese for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekMForMovies. 😁
