Blue Sky Art Show, theme 'Busy'

artJun 6, 20262599,086

The Blue Sky Art Show's weekly prompt for Saturday June 6, 2026 is 'Busy', open to submissions in any medium with multiple posts welcome. Organizers ask contributors to tag submissions with both #BlueSkyArtShow and #Busy to be included. This week's entries include a four-month beaded Carnival mask that won a blue ribbon at the Minnesota State Fair in 2024, night photos of Paris from the Arc de Triomphe, crowded pregame concourse shots at Notre Dame Stadium before the Ohio State game, Venice canal scenes, and wildlife close-ups of hummingbirds and bumblebees. The theme spotlights everyday motion across travel, festivals, nature and abstract work, making it a quick way to see diverse visual storytelling and techniques.

Øivin Horvei saw it coming. He painted this incoming alien invasion on a busy wall, in a quiet Oslo street. Don't be afraid, humans, they actually look kind of friendly… As long as aliens don’t eat plushies… It’s fine. (Art by MUCHO, www.oivinhorvei.com) #BlueskyArtShow #StreetArt

It's kinda cool how the cloud reflection is more obvious than the actual cloud. There are so many intriguing things in the water that I want to zoom in to see what they are. The image is more about the near than the far.

Expertly done. What a shot. 😳

Ladybird The lovely mama of the bluebird fledglings I photographed back in April. #BirdOfTheDay #BorrowedPlaces #FemaleBeauty #SmallBirdSaturday #ColorADay #GreenSat #ECK #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #birds #OM-3

A lovely female bluebird perched on a wooden post with another post and a soft green succulent-like plant blurred in front of her. She's in profile, turned a bit away from the camera. Her head and upper back are a beautiful pale blue, her breast is yellowish cream, and the outer edge of her wings are brighter shades of blue. She has a dark beak and eyes. The background is blurred green with mostly light tan bokeh on the right side. There's a line of cream going a bit diagnoally on the left side of the post.

A bumblebee quite #Busy collecting some nectar, with a heart-shaped piece of pollen clinging to its abdomen. Norwich VT, June 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Nature #Vermont #BlueskyArtShow #ShowHeart

This image shows a busy bumblebee collecting nectar from a spray of small, light purple lilac blossoms. The blossoms descend from the upper left corner to the middle of the image, where the bee hangs from them, about to stick its head into a flower. Many of the blossoms are slightly blurred, but the bee is in sharp focus, and we have an excellent view of the stiff yellow hair on its back, its wing, legs and head, and a heart-shaped clump of pollen clinging to its abdomen. More quite blurred lilacs appear at the lower right of the frame, and the image is finished by pleasing green bokeh in the lower left and upper right from distant leaves.

One of the many American Avocets on the shores of Summer Lake last month! #birds #birdphotography #birding #art #photography #nature #wildlife #pnw #EastCoastKin #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #BlueSkyArtShow #birdsofbluesky

A striking American Avocet bird with an upswept bill standing on a Sage covered wildlife wetlands dike with the summer lake nature playa in the photography background. Summer Lake is a great birding location in south Central Oregon where we spotted over 35 bird species in just 4 hours in Mid May.

@alan678.bsky.social choice for #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BorrowedPlaces, Birds using manmade or unexpected structures, fence posts, signs, and other places to perch. Alt is #FemaleBeauty, the beauty of females. 2nd photo is pushing it, but it's borrowed the hat to rest on. #birds #ECK #CanonR5mkii

Sarah Stonechat was resting on the rope barrier while the Paparazzi took some photos of her, she was allowing this to happen because she was in a good mood. Now whether she will stay in a good mood is a different story because she didn't know her partner Stanley has been cheating on her with her best friend Simone, and they intend on telling her when they meet up later. Now that is a meeting the Paparazzi should have had an invite too but sadly we were not given the location of where this was going to go down. Captured at Long Nanny, Northumberland.

Second pic gets you on the naughty step, I reckon, for so many reasons. 😂

A female Red-winged Blackbird carries a long, weathered cattail leaf as she flies through the reeds to build her nest at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. #BirdOfTheDay #FemaleBeauty #bird #birdphotography #EastCoastkin #ECK #birds #photography #BirdsSeenln2026

Photo by Kort Duce A female Red-winged Blackbird carries a long, weathered cattail leaf as she flies through the reeds to build her nest at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the blackbird appears just left of center with her wings fully extended and tail feathers fanned as she lands among the reeds. She grips the thick end of the leaf in her beak, its length trailing well beneath her. The entire scene is enveloped in last season’s earth-toned reeds, crisscrossing in every direction. Fine detail in her wings reveals subtle hints of red, a reminder that even female red-winged blackbirds carry touches of that signature color. It is a quiet, beautiful moment in nature, capturing the instinct and determination of spring’s nesting season.

This is so beautiful, Kort. People really do underestimate their beauty.
