Another old little barn. I’m trying to capture images of as many as I can before they’re all gone. This one is west of Mount Vernon Iowa USA. Shot with iPhone 17 Pro.

Various smooth, rounded stones of various shades of reddish brown. There are three spiders stretching out on the side of the rocks facing the sun.

Porcupine Mountains State Park , Michigan USA. The shore is covered with smooth rocks instead of sand and these spiders enjoyed the warmth of the morning sun.

Seychelles beach on Ikaria, Greece. A large multi-toned rock sits on a rocky beach at the Aegean Sea’s edge. Brown rocky mountains rise behind the rock. The beach was created by a rockslide and is accessible only via boat or a treacherous hike.

Sitting Hen
Monument Valley
Utah

If you are visiting Monument Valley, you can easily spot the Setting Hen as you drive toward the park entrance on US-163; it stands as one of the sentinel-like guardians of the valley's northern gateway.

The sun sets over Lake Superior with a few grayish clouds adding visual interest to the red sky.

Remembering our Lake Superior Circle Tour last fall. We tried to visit the Agawa Pictographs but the water was too high. Canada is beautiful.

A common redshank wades through shallow, still water, lifting one bright orange-red leg mid-step. Its soft brown upperparts and pale, finely speckled underparts are clearly visible, along with a straight bill that fades from red at the base to dark at the tip. Gentle ripples spread around its legs, and the bird’s full reflection is mirrored crisply in the calm surface below.

Ok I’m here to tiptoe through the #BirdOfTheDay posts. I will do my best to see as many as I can. Sorry if I miss you. #PerfectLight #photography #birds #EastCoastKin

I believe that a light overcast is the best lighting condition for photographing birds, by avoiding harsh shadows and faithfully bringing out colors. This cedar waxwing enjoys #perfectlighting for a #birdoftheday shot.

Mount Burke from the Mid Marsh Trail, Minnekhada Regional Park. There's a beaver lodge in the shadows, center-left.  There are vivid reflections of the mountain and trees on the lake.
