It all depends on the angle of view... #BlueSkyArtShow #angles #ColorADay #GreenSat #Stunday #MacroMonday #photography #BugSky #EastCoastKin

The image shows a Green Shield Bug (Nezara viridula) on crossing green blades of grass. The bug is predominantly bright green and has red and yellow spots on its back, particularly at the edge of the pronotum. Its legs are also greenish-red, and the antennae are dark. The insect is photographed slightly angled from the side and front, positioned in the upper right area of the image. The background is blurred.

A male House Finch in profile is a rosy red and brown bird with a short, thick, conical bill. Its head, throat, and chest are primarily rosy red, while the back, belly, and flanks are streaky brown, with the red color intensity varying based on diet. This one's been eating his Wheaties, posed contemplating on a slanted branch with long green pine needles in bokeh for the background. Artsy, and a new edit of a finch fav...fitting, for a final finchy Friday for a few. Feeling Fall is finally around the corner...

What a beautiful image Mick, it's one I could get lost in.... the patterns of receding water lead your eye around the scene, and the scale of the landscape create wonderful depth! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

A coastal wide angle view on a sunny September afternoon. At Mawbray Banks, Solway Coast National Landscape, Cumbria. Looking across the Solway Firth with the tide far out to the very faint outline of Criffel Hill, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. In the foreground a beach with many ripples of sand. There are some very shallow pools of water. The beach appears to continue to the horizon. The sky is blue with some streaky white clouds.
