It’s just stunning. There are really great exhibits, too! I highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Perfect caption!

A young light-colored tabby cat sits on a quilted teal bedcover. She has beautiful green eyes.

Bonus #Caturday because I am cat sitting for my daughter’s best friend. #photography #EastCoastKin

Thanks for sharing!

A gray squirrel sits on a post with its tail curved at its back. Its mouth is open preparing to take a bite out of the nut it holds in its front paws.

My #SquirrelSaturday post is this fine friend I met last week. He is pretty gleefully anticipating his snack! #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin

This photo is a little triumph!

Thanks! Good luck, indeed!

A waterfall carves its way through brown cliff faces. There is scrubby green growth on the tops of the cliff.

For #BlueSkyArtShow #flowing, I submit this waterfall in #YellowstoneNationalPark. #photography #EastCoastKin

Thank you! I had a nice amount of one on one time with this beautiful creature.

Thank you!

The photo is taken from inside a cave filled with water. Through the mouth of the cave you can see trees and greenery.

For #WeekIForInteriors (and I suppose also for #GreenSat again), looking from the dark interior of a cave into the wider world. Is this a metaphor? It feels like a metaphor. #AlphabetChallenge #ColorADay #photography #EastCoastKin

Three cat clocks with hanging pendulum tails hang on a wall. The outer two are black and the middle one is red. The eyes are wide and move with the ticking of the clock. The far left cat clock has red hearts for pupils.

A combined #Caturday and #ShowHeart post: these clocks were for sale in the New York Public Library gift shop. #photography #EastCoastKin

The eye and beak of a mottled, sort of striped-looking owl. The different textures of the feathers are evident. The owl looks straight at the camera.

My #BNWmacro is this #BarredOwl looking soulfully at the camera. #birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin

A row of lime green parrot-like birds sit on a wire. There are seven in all: a group of two, then a space and a group of four, another space and then a single bird.

My #ColorADay for #GreenSat is this row of #NandayParakeet friends. #birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin

A little bird sits on a gnarled limb of a budding tree. The bird has an elongated form. Its belly and chest are white, its wings are gray with black markings, and there is a thick black stripe running from its long sharp beak to the nape of its neck.

I’m back visiting Pennsylvania, so my choice for @javajanegallery.co.uk’s #SmallBirdSaturday is my old friend the #WhiteBreastedNuthatch. #birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin

A large blue-gray bird with a reddish cast to its head and a long sharp beak stands on long legs in relatively still water. Behind it is another large bird lunging forward in the water. That bird is sort of dark greenish overall with white under its wings.

For @robcrank68.bsky.social’s #BirdOfTheDay challenge #StandingInWater, I am reminded of the time I watched a #ReddishEgret and a #TricoloredHeron do a dance-off. #birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin

😂

An iridescent bird with shades of blue, navy, teal, olive, and brown marched along some water plants on its large, spindly yellow feet. Its beak is red with a yellow tip.

@alan678.bsky.social @alan678.bsky.social says the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SteppingOut with an
Alt of #ColorfulCaptures. I present another twofer with this #PurpleGallinule. #birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin

I remembered you said! They’re just so funny! I got to see that courtship “dance,” too, and I couldn’t help but laugh.😂

They are the most hilarious birds!

I guess the hashtag is actually #3sDay 🤦🏼‍♀️

A red heart painted on a walk is absolutely covered in various stickers. At the base is a little illegible graffiti.

When walking around the City yesterday, this is one of the ways New York decided to #ShowHeart. #photography #EastCoastKin

Three very large birds sit in a circle among rocks. Their bodies are dark gray/brown, their necks and heads are white, and their slightly hooked beaks are bright mustard yellow. Behind them is some green, yellow, and reddish ground cover.

#ThreesDay gives me another excuse to post my #WavedAlbatross friends. These three look like they’re engrossed in a dramatic gossip session. #birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin

I most definitely did.

A great arched marble hallway stretches out. There is intricate copper work on the ceiling between the arches.

The main hall of the library is a cavernous marble room. There are arches and lanterns. It’s a beautiful space.

A view down a stairway through arches leading to a brown door.

A pink case protecting the original Christopher Robin stuffed animals that were the inspiration for the Winnie-the-Pooh stories.

I spent some time yesterday in the #NewYorkPublicLibrary. It was the perfect place for #WeekIForInteriors. (Also said hello to some old friends again, @sheena-mck.bsky.social ) #AlphabetChallenge #photography #EastCoastKin

The head and neck of a large lizard fills the frame. The lizard’s skin has bumps and spikes giving it a dragon-like appearance. Its head and upper body have a strong yellow cast.

A bit of an unusual #ColorADay #YellowThu. This is a #LandIguana from the #Galapagos. Their yellow coloration is so pronounced! #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin

A mannequin wearing a colorful catsuit with sparkly Vogue covers. The left half is lime green and the right is yellow. There is a sketchy Vogue cover in front of the mannequin’s face.

Against a pink background, a pink mannequin wears a slim black skirt that fans up and out at the waist with the top layer of it being pink. The bodice of the outfit is shimmering gold.

Various mannequins stand on ledges on a black wall. They are wearing different colorful suits with long jackets. The exhibit celebrated Superfine: Tailoring Black Style

In past trips to New York, we’ve been lucky to see the Met Gala exhibits. The Met isn’t a palace, but close enough.😉 I also threw in Sybil’s pantsuit from Downton Abbey.😜 #PalacesAndGardens #FashionThroughTime #TheMet #EastCoastKin

A covered highway bridge. The buildings of New York City can be seen through the beams and wires of the bridge.

#UrbanGaze is pretty common in New York.😜 Here we are entering the city on the bridge from Queens. #NewYorkCity #photography #EastCoastKin

Two groups of two people sit on green folding chairs in front of a pile of dirty snow. Each pair has coffees and is engaged in what looks like pleasant conversation.

I’m visiting #NewYorkCity, one of my favorite places, and so my #HumansOfBlueSku comes from my favorite park. This picture is just very New York to me. Coffee and conversation. #BryantPark #photography #EastCoastKin
