Another photo from our New York City trip, the Empire State Building at night. We were there before the NBA Finals had started so we missed all the excitement.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is sunlight and leaves so look carefully in the center of the photo is a fledgling Merlin who had just left its nest for the first time. I watched them grow all summer, they were very noisy. #birds #fledgling #raptor

Good morning! Here is a tapestry in the Musee Cluny in Paris called The Lady and the Unicorn, this is one panel of six. I love the detail, notice the unicorn admiring themselves in the mirror.

Here’s just about all the pictures I took at the Bruce Springsteen concert last night in Minneapolis, I was too busy enjoying the power of the music to mess with my phone. A show I will never forget. Epic.

Apparently today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #movement so here’s a Tricolored Heron taking off in Florida. #birds #birding Who decides these things anyway? Is there a blast message that goes out every morning to birders on Bluesky? I need to get in the loop.

One of my first days in Paris last month I went birding in the Jardin du Luxembourg and saw the sun shining on this statue and thought it would make a nice picture. #France #JardinduLuxembourg #Paris

Ripping the Tribute album by Ozzy with Randy Rhoads on blazing guitar 🎸 I was lucky enough to see them live and have yet to see a better guitarist. They didn’t have a lot of Ozzy’s stage effects because of a snowstorm so Randy really extended some solos particularly on Mr Crowley. 🎸
