A jumping spider faces the camera, holding a green fly of some sort in front of it.

A bird in profile on a beam, facing our left toward a slice of papaya left for feeding. The bird is mostly blue, with black on the wings, back, and around the eyes. It also has some lime-green spots scattered around, and red legs. The beak is thin, black and a bit long.

🪶 Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideProfiles, says Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social. This red-legged honeycreeper doesn't mind striking the pose.

Nice catch, Mark, and have a good one yourself.

Nice ones, Rob.

Looks so peaceful. Have a great day, Jean.

The interior of a Catholic church. The main points of attention are a gold crucifix with a gold circle above it with writing, the lettering which we see saying "Christ Redempt..." This is supported by another gold assemblage held up by four white columns.

It's Sunday, and the #AlphabetChallenge is #WeekIForInteriors, so here's the interior of the church at the Subiaco monastery in western #Arkansas. #photography

I've never seen one of those.. I just looked them up, and...I need to go to Australia, I guess.

It stands out. I do think it's very pretty.

I'm right there with you. My knees are ok, but I'm getting arthritis in my thumbs, which is no fun.

Good luck with that 😬.

Oh my. Have you figured the knee out yet?

Thanks, Carol!

Thanks, Mark, so far so good. A warmish day after a stormy one, sun shining, a few butterflies starting to stir, birds singing... I hope yours is, or has been, a good one.

The black sheep of the family?

Thanks, Rob.

An attractive little bird sits on a diagonal trunk. It has pinkish feet, the body is mostly gray, the head is black with a large white spot on the cheek, it has a very conspicuous red eye ring, and a red and white bill. It is in profile facing our right.

🪶 Alan @alan678.bsky.social says the #BirdoftheDay theme is #Photogenic. This Java sparrow looks like a good candidate. #birds #photography

Beautiful shots, Rob.

Nice subject for a great theme, Alan. Enjoy your day.

45? I bet that's a relief. Have a great day, Jean!

Curses!

Bee Gees?

A small brown patterned bird with a white breast is on the side of a tree, facing up. It has a short, narrow and slightly curved beak.

🪶 For Jane's @javajanegallery.co.uk #SmallBirdSaturday, a brown creeper, a fun bird to watch, but a bit hard to catch. #birds #photography #arkansas

We did...

Thanks, D. I may have shared it previously; I took so many pictures I can't remember which ones I've posted...

A hawk is standing in shallow water with its tail feathers spread out on the surface. It is looking at the camera with its head down, seemingly disapproving.

A hawk is standing in shallow water with its tail feathers spread out on the surface. It is looking straight ahead, which is to our right.

🪶Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StandingInWater. This red-tailed hawk was not overly excited about being photographed while bathing, but carried on. #birds #photography

A waterfall in a tropical setting. The waterfall in the background has foliage on both sides. There is a vividly blue pool at the base, and the water runs towards the camera, over large rocks smoothed by it.

For #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Flowing, a shot of blue water and falls in #CostaRica. And the water really is that blue! #photography #waterfalls

Nice ones. That lapwing is looking dapper.

Beautiful scene, Mark. Stormy here, but we needed the rain. Have a great one!

Nice set, Rob.

That's a stunner, Jean. Have a great day as well
