Yes, the secret is out! 😎

Thank you, Rina. I appreciate your kind words. 🦋 🙏

Where the last warmth of the sky meets the stillness of the sea.

A view from inside a sea cave frames a wide, flat beach at low tide, the jagged arch of dark basalt rock opening onto pale sand scattered with boulders. A hummingbird crosses the middle of the frame in silhouette, caught mid-flight just in front of a historic concrete bridge whose arched spans recede into morning mist. Behind the bridge, a dense wall of coastal conifers rises into a partly cloudy sky, the whole scene softened by sea fog that blurs the tree line and lends the light a hazy, diffused quality. Footprints in the sand near the cave entrance are the only evidence anyone else has been here.

I managed to catch this hummingbird while exploring a small sea cave. I had posted a similar photo last week that I had taken with my phone, but when going through my camera photos I found this for #Stunday.

A group of black and white butterflies eat from sliced pineapple.

Unlike what appears to be a race of tiny sailboats, these Clipper and Admiral butterflies have no need to vie for position.

Many thanks, Jason.

Thank you, Rina. Love this week. 🦋

Gorgeous capture. 👏

And they are completely edible...!

My new word for the day.

As opposed to #toxicpositivity ?
I am all for thinking good things. But being realistic is a flaw.

(Mountain photo for attention). 😚

Love this, Scott!

The sea and salt seen from rocks at the bottom. A weather front splits the scene in half - blue sky and wispy white clouds on right, and dark stormy clouds on left

A proper one for #BlueSkyArtShow this time. The #edge of a weather front

Love that series! One of the best. Thank you for the memory.

Image shows a “Swiss Cheese Plant” climbing a very old stone wall. The established plant has fruit the presents like an ear of corn. The fruit, when the green skin is peeled away, looks a great deal like white corn and tastes absolutely delicious! Hence the latin name, “Monstera deliciosa.”

Stunning, Luis. It's almost as if one can reach through the screen and touch the iridescence. 👏

A black-and-white aerial photograph of a steep, winding cliffside path descending toward a beach. Two people are seen walking along the shoreline at the base of the cliffs. The image captures the contrast between the rugged cliffs and the expansive, reflective beach. The photographer's name, Catherine Hartmann, is subtly visible in the corner.

Photo a Day 2026 - Day 108: Since today is Caturday, I took a Mischief portrait for my photo of the day. This is Mischief's "Are you aware my bowl is empty?" look.

Image of a black cat with a chef’s hat flipping from a frying pan what appears to be pancakes. Street stencil spray painting on side of building shows open uncovered electrical holes in an exterior stuccoed wall that the artist has used as “pancakes.”

Thank you, Robyn!

Photo taken at the Outdoor Museum of Assemblage Art in Joshua Tree, California. The image is a close up capture of a black bowling ball with other balls out of focus and set in the distance. The artist, Noah Purifoy, created large scale abstract pieces of artwork from found or acquired mundane objects—thus the “assemblage” name given to his outdoor creative space. He was co-founder of The Watts Tower Art Center, attended CalArts, and since his death in 2004, some of his works have been taken from their desert space and shown at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Hammer Museum. The museum is a magical place and well worth the side trip if in the high desert area.

Photo a Day 2026 - Day 107: A male Eastern Bluebird peeking out of the nest box on my dock. He's been flying back and forth with food and I haven't seen the female so I'm guessing she's sitting on eggs! #photoaday #birds #nature #photography

Tony, so so sorry for your loss 😔.
