Echos of peach, Two is better than one

#photography #Two #BlueskyAtShow #Flowers #Bloomsky #Lenssky #nature #bloomscrolling #ArtInTwo #PhotographersofBluesky
A close-up, vertical photograph of two peach-colored roses against a dark, moody background. The rose in the foreground is in sharp focus, showing delicate, ruffled petals that curve inward. Just above it, a second rose is visible but softly blurred, creating a sense of depth. The lighting is gentle, highlighting the warm apricot and pink tones of the blooms.

Seeing double at the farm today. These two were more than happy to strike a pose for the #Two theme! 🐮🌾

A horizontal photograph of two young, light-brown Jersey calves standing side-by-side against a rustic wooden fence background. The calf on the left looks directly at the camera with a curious expression, while the calf on the right looks slightly off to the side. Both have soft, fuzzy coats, large dark eyes, and dark muzzles. A weathered tree trunk is visible on the far left edge.

A crisp, vertically oriented macro photograph of a single vibrant red rose in full bloom, beautifully composed to emphasize both its delicate texture and organic structure. The morning sun strongly backlights the flower from behind, transforming the upper edges of its velvety petals into a glowing, translucent crimson rim that illuminates the plant's delicate veins. Below the brilliant red bloom, the sharp stems and moody, deep chocolate-and-burgundy leaves are held in sharp focus, providing a rich, dark visual foundation. In the softly blurred background, the muted vertical lines of a white picket fence dissolve into a smooth, painterly backdrop.

“The present moment is the only moment available to us, and it is the door to all moments.” —Thich Nhat Hanh.

Finding the hush in the branches. Goodnight, Bluesky.
A contemplative vertical landscape captured at {f/2.8}, creating a delicate bokeh effect. The foreground features the sharp, dark silhouettes of winter branches, their "skeletal lace" rendered in crisp detail against a soft-focus background. The sky is a tranquil gradient of dusky rose and pale violet, reflected subtly in the calm waters below. A light crust of snow sits at the bottom of the frame, grounding the ethereal light in the reality of a cold Black Rock evening. The intentional focus on the near branches emphasizes finding clarity amidst a blurring world.

4pm light breaking over the ice. A moment of just 'being.'

Good Evening, BlueSky. 🙏🏼💙🌅
A wide-angle evening shot of the Rooster River under a dramatic, heavy sky. A dark, winding path of water cuts through thick, fractured white shelf ice. The sun, setting at 4:00 PM, breaks through a gap in the dark grey clouds, casting a golden, amber glow across the horizon and reflecting off the icy surface. The silhouette of a distant tower and winter trees anchors the horizon, creating a scene of profound stillness and natural transition.

Shot in the small town of Twisp in 2015, I think with an old iPhone. An obsolete phone booth holding paperbacks, shot on a smartphone. A splash of Eggleston red and a casual Friedlander reflection.

A striking, masterfully cropped vertical street photograph of a decommissioned metal telephone booth converted into a community "Little Art Library." Atop the weathered white metal structure sits a custom-welded roof styled to look like an open, upside-down book. The main body of the booth features a vibrant, solid crimson-red door dominated by a large, graphic keyhole-shaped glass window. Inside the keyhole cutout, two interior shelves neatly showcase rows of multi-colored book spines. In the lower glass pane of the cutout, the sharp, clear silhouette reflection of the photographer's legs and sandals is prominently embedded, acting as a witty street self-portrait. Attached to the right white pillar is a crisp paper notice reading "Little ART Library... A project of Methow Arts." Through meticulous manual masking, the distracting alleyway and nearby building facade in the background have been completely dissolved into a creamy, smooth blur, entirely isolating the bold red structural totem.

Waders at Seabright Beach. The quiet, universal rhythms of the shore.

A candid, eye-level street photograph titled "Waders at Seabright Beach," intentionally composed to respect the anonymity of the subjects. In the foreground, a man, a woman, and a young girl stand barefoot in the shallow, rippling water of a low-tide pool, their dark reflections stretching downward into the shimmering wet sand. On the left, a woman steps through the water, holding up the hems of her light-colored shorts. Beside her, a man in a slate blue shirt and a rich green baseball cap watches quietly with his hands on his hips. To the right, a small girl with a warm red ponytail wears a light blue dress, her back turned completely to the camera as she gazes intently down at the water around her ankles. The background features a heavy stone jetty that has been softly blurred, creating a shallow depth of field that isolates the figures cleanly under a soft, overcast light.

"The fox went out on a chilly night,
Prayed for the moon for to give him light"

Last May, a wild red fox raised her kits in our old shed, I caught her eye for just a brief second.

A crisp, eye-level street-style wildlife portrait of a wild female red fox standing in a lush green grass field, titled "The Mother." The fox is positioned broadside, but her head is turned sharply toward the camera, making intense, alert, and direct eye contact. Her summer coat is a rich blend of deep orange and gold across her back, contrasting cleanly against a snowy white chest and throat. Dark brown and black fur runs down her front legs and defines the edges of her large, pointed ears. Her thick, bushy tail extends to the right, cropped slightly at the frame's edge. The surrounding green grass background is softly blurred into a smooth bokeh, isolating the fox as the primary subject.
