Early morning before sunrise and a layer of clouds lit up from the sun. Bright orange colors over the trees in the distance that are reflecting on the calm waters.

I find it utterly infuriating that I'm not allowed to post a 17 second video for #WaterfallWednesday.
What changed that I am unaware of?

Here's a repeat pic of Rattlesnake Falls in the #Poconos in #NEPA.

Photo taken May 20, 2025 of the two Hummingbird hatchlings almost spilling out of the nest. With the fast growing babies, mother Hummingbird is sitting on the edge of the nest.

Two weeks since hatching, the little Hummingbirds are growing fast. Poor mum can hardly fit in the nest. All appear healthy. #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #planetbirds #birdsoftheworld #BBCEarth #sony #hummingbird #wildlife #WildlifePhotography #photography #ornithology

"This image beautifully captures a barred owl perched gracefully on a sturdy tree branch. Its rounded head and large, dark eyes give it an intense yet calm presence. The intricate brown and white feather patterns, featuring horizontal and vertical stripes, blend seamlessly with the textured bark of the tree. The owl's gaze is steady, observing its surroundings with a quiet intelligence. Its sharp, curved talons grip the branch firmly, and its slightly puffed-up chest adds to its dignified appearance. The background consists of lush green foliage, softly blurred, creating a natural frame that highlights the owl’s striking features. A subtle signature, "Swede's Photographs," is present in the bottom right corner of the image, indicating the artist behind the capture." - Copilot

I spotted this Great Egret on Central Park's Harlem Meer just as it was taking off. Believe it or not, this is no more than 50 yards from Fifth Avenue. 🥰🥰🥰 #Egret #CentralPark #birding

View from the base of a narrow sandstone canyon at Starved Rock State Park, with layered rock walls rising steeply on both sides. A thin waterfall trickles down the center, framed by autumn trees with green and golden leaves under a partly cloudy sky.

Stone walls, golden leaves, and a waterfall that sounds like it's trying not to wake anyone. Starved Rock, you quiet legend.

"This image showcases a striking red-headed woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) perched against a natural backdrop. Its brilliant crimson head glows with a bold vibrancy, contrasting beautifully with its jet-black back and crisp white underparts. The sharp, pointed beak is poised, ready to drill into tree bark or snatch up insects. Its small but sturdy talons grip a branch firmly, displaying the bird’s agility. The eyes are dark and focused, giving it an alert and confident presence. The surrounding foliage, though slightly blurred, enhances the woodpecker’s vivid coloring and draws attention to its elegant form." - Copilot

Nature’s Bold Brushstroke

This is the second red-headed woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) I’ve seen in the past two weeks—things are looking up! I couldn’t get close, but the image turned out well. ...
