Torresian Imperial Pigeon (Ducala spilorrhoa), nesting (A tree over a busy beachside footpath) #smArtist #family #photography #birds #TorresianPigeon #nest #nature #wildlife #EastCoastKin

A large, pied pigeon, white overall with dark tail and pied underside, sitting on a very straggly nest made of large twigs. The bird and nest were in a tree directly over a busy beachside footpath, so it wasn't disturbed by being photographed.

Hi fam, have a fulfilling day! Today's prompt is #inquiry. #smARTIST #ARTyear This male #spider has an inquiry for reproduction. The much larger female is ready to give a positive answer. #macrophotography #Stunday #PhotographyIsArt

A tiny male spider illuminated by sunlight on a bright gray terrace stone tile a few moments before the first physical contact with the female, who is crouching in a joint and of which only a part can be seen.

#TagTuesday I do #StreetArt. (Not all #graffiti tags are spray painted.) I'm a #smARTist and I am #up, having put out more than 5,000 pieces of sculpture on the sidewalks of #SanFrancisco.

Painted face sculpture installed as street art tags. Top row is titled: 'copper held in mouth'. Bottom row: 'The sprite of the glacier'

Composition in silver #2 Kindred spirits I've posted this before, but it's #WeekSforSilver, and it's a personal favourite. Please click in... #smArtist #art #AlphabetChallenge #photography #silver #abstract #ClassicMono #seascape #minimalist #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited

A calm silver sea meets a silver clouded horizon in an almost monotone, abstract tonal image. Near the lower right corner two contrasting black dots, the dark heads and shoulders of two distant swimmers, provide scale and contrast

#smArtist #lightning I've posted these previously, so I'll just post the group. Please click in if you want to appreciate the clouds. #photography #landscape #night #storm #cloudscape #stars #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited

Dramatic night-time thunder cumulus framed by tossed tree branches in silhouette and lit up from inside by lightning. Below, running across the bottom of the image are the distant lights of a coastal town hugging the shoreline.Night sky of shining stars above, with a large thunder cloud below, lit up from inside by a large internal lightning bolt. Below is the sea and a strip of coastal lights. The image is framed on both sides by the darkly silhouetted branches of two large eucalypts.A large lightning bolt striking out to sea at night, seen from a high vantage point looking out over the coastal plains and lights of Caloundra. The lightning has lit up the storm's cloud banks dramatically.

Not a performance artist, Uffizi Gallery, Firenze I hope the #dream is of Botticelli or Lippi, because currently her interest in art is #dormant #BlueSkyArtShow #smArtist #photography #tourist #sleep #HumansOfBlueSky #Uffizzi #gallery #humour #CultureOverload #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited

A young tourist lies asleep on a padded gallery bench in the Uffizi, sunglasses still clasped in one hand, overcome by beauty or perhaps jet-lag and leg-weariness.

A moment for abstract reflection Abstraction as well as #smArtist #adaptation LR38543 retinex 8 🚫A I #art #DigitalArt #DigitalManipulation #NotAI #photography #water #ripples #reflection #GIMP #GMIC #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited

An original photograph of ripples and reflections that has been digitally adapted, abstracted, simplified, and had the underlying colours saturated. The result is a series of organic, somewhat liquid connected shapes in violets and greens.

(Environmental) niche Rock fig, Ficus platypoda, Nitmiluk National Park #smArtist #adaptation (also works for #acoloradAyPRIL #tan) #photography #nature #trees #ficus #rocks #Nitmiluk #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited

A small (~40cm) fig sapling is growing out of a tiny crack in an otherwise solid piece of sandstone. It has four small branches each with a little bunch of leaves, and appears to be in good health despite the barren surroundings.

Photographer, waiting for photographer Katherine river gorge, Nitmiluk #acoloradAyPRIL #tan #HumansOfBlueSky #smArtist #dry (most of my photos are uncontaminated by people, since they've all moved on long ago) #photography #landscape #rocks #gorge #nature #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited

Imposing sandstone cliffs rise up above a currently dry and exposed sandstone riverbed that forms the foreground. A lone figure is waiting, looking back, while a group of hikers has almost disappeared over the rocks in the distance.
