An ostrich running on a road with a car full of people photographing it behind
Good morning. My contribution to the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #steppingout - this southern ostrich causing a bit of a jam on the South African Cape #Birds #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #birdphotography #canon #photography #nature #ostrich
Photograph taken not long before dusk in the drizzle outside the visitor centre at OM Dark Sky Park, Davagh Forest. Had time for a soggy wander before attending a brilliant astronomy talk. Image shows a silver birch tree leaning slightly with an unruly mass of twisted leaf-free branches reaching upwards. The tree contrasts with the surrounding forest of evergreens. Sky is a pale blue-grey from the mist and drizzle. Amazing place to visit if you're in Northern Ireland. Further details at www.omdarksky.com

You see an early March morning unfolding as a quiet drama between winter and spring. The sun, still low and hidden behind a layered cloudbank to the left, sends long crepuscular rays fanning through moisture-laden air, each beam made visible by the soft mist that fills the spaces between the trees. The atmosphere is suspended and hushed as only in the first hour after dawn. The colors span two emotional poles, warm amber and gold blaze in the upper left where sunlight breaks through cloud, while a cool teal-blue sky stretches across the right, calm and receding. The tall spruce and fir trees rise as dark blue-green silhouettes against that pale sky, their pointed crowns sharp and composed. To the left, a bare deciduous tree holds its grey winter branches, a few rust-brown leaves still clinging on. The mist between the trunks glows silvery-white where the rays strike it, and fades into a dusky jade-green in shadow. The single most telling detail is the small flowering shrub in the lower right corner, a blackthorn (Prunus spinosa), whose chalk-white blossoms open on bare, dark branches as one of the very first signs of spring, typically from late February into early March. It is a punctuation mark of pure white set against all that grey and mist, quietly announcing that the season has already turned.

Two black-and-white wagtails stand on large sunlit rocks along a stony shoreline. The nearer bird balances on one leg taking a step while looking upward, its long tail trailing behind, while a second wagtail perches slightly higher on a rock in the background. Bright light glints off the wet stones and the soft dark background isolates the birds, giving the scene a layered feel of watchful movement along the rocky shore.
Sorry folks havenโt been around as Iโm helping my brother with lambing. Notifications are off. Hope you are all well. Todayโs #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SteppingOut birds captured mid step. The alt theme is #ColourfulCaptures colourful bird or background. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A Long-tailed Tit is captured mid-flight, silhouetted against the golden light of a rising sun. Its delicate wings are fully outstretched, glowing amber at the edges as the sunlight filters through. The blurred outline of trees forms a dark contrast in the background, framing the birdโs graceful ascent. A perfect moment of movement and light, reflecting the lengthening days of early spring.
Brighter mornings, a lighter step, and a Long-tailed Tit soaring towards spring...
Happy #FlyDay!

There was only seeingโ
The open,
unbounded,
belonging to no oneโฆ
A clarity without a center, a presence without a name, vast as the sky the mirrors had once forgotten.
Silence began to breathe in the narrow spaces between ideas.
The blue in between white and gray.

Good morning.
Floating in stability, our calm, gives others a safe place to moor as they come in from the waves, our colors embracing them.
Have a great day.
