Yesterday was our first partially sunny day since I got my Sony 10-18 f4 zoom lens in the mail, so of course I was out looking for landscapes and low perspective semi-macros. This is the Mousam River from the Rt. 9 bridge. Sony a5100 in Superior Auto, Lanscape Scene Mode. 15mm equivalent. Processed in Photomator.

Maine! Scruffy Bluebird

Eastern Bluebird: York County, Maine, USA, August 2024 — I think this is our resident female Bluebird, after a long nesting season. Her latest fledglings are out and about these past few weeks, and that was at least her second nest. She has always had a plumage challenge…never matched the elegance of her mate…but they have successfully fledged at least 4 chicks each summer for the past 4 or 5 years. 🙂 Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC VXD zoom at 600mm equivalent.
