Pink sunrise sky is reflected in the water. Twin mountains are in the shadows. The lights on the trees along the ocean promenade are still lit up, casting a soft golden glow.
Another beautiful sunrise. I love the layers of colours. 💕 #sunrise #westcoast
Sunrise over the ocean. The sun has just risen over the mountains and the clouds above are illuminated.
Love when I catch the sunrise. #westcoastsunrise #whiterockbc #sunrise #prettyclouds
Blue is my favourite colour so it always a treat to see a Stellar’s Jay. #birdoftheday #sideprofile #stellarsjay
A young bald eagle sits on a branch of an evergreen tree which is covered in pinecones.
Always watching and learning, this juvenile bald eagle is my pick for the #birdoftheday theme of #quietobserver.
A flock of pigeons are standing in the garden under the shade of a tree. One pigeon is in flight, about to join them on the ground, with its wings spread wide.
#birdoftheday is the ever friendly pigeon, who also tend to congregate in #groups. Always room for one more! Spotted these on a warm day in Kiel, Germany. #pigeons
A male Anna’s hummingbird sits on a branch of a snowy tree. A few of his beautiful fuchsia coloured feathers are showing colour but most look dark around its head. Body is mostly green.
We’ve had nothing but rain and more rain lately so this is from years past. The Anna’s hummingbird stays year round here on the west coast of Canada. #winterbirds #birdoftheday #annashummingbird #hummingbirds
A snowy egret, with its white feathers, black legs and yellow feet, stands on a rock near the shore.

Dark eyed junco, a sparrow type bird, clinging to the edge of the window frame on a blue car after being disturbed by garden watering.
In keeping with the #birdoftheday theme, this dark eyed junco was just #hangingaround! It had nested under a nearby bush and when I watered it, it came flying out. Hence the hairy eyeball in my direction!
Wonderful photo. 🙌
Butterfly with long oval wings that are orange near the body and black and white on the outer edges. Tiger longwing seems such an appropriate name!
Lovely tiger longwing butterfly at the butterfly house in Copenhagen. #macromonday #butterflies
