Early Spring in Yellow

#Photography #FicariaVerna #LesserCelandine #Pilewort #ButtercupFamily #Wildflowers #YellowBloom #SpringAwakening #CloseUpNature #MacroPhotography #FloralDetails #NaturePhotography #FlowerDetails #MacroNature #SeasonalBloom #WildBeauty #SpringVibes #NatureCloseUp

This photograph captures the delicate beauty of Ficaria verna (syn. Ranunculus ficaria), commonly known as Lesser Celandine or Pilewort—a low-growing perennial from the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). The image shows a cluster of radiant yellow, star-shaped flowers surrounded by lush, heart-shaped green leaves. The central bloom is wide open, its petals glistening in natural light and revealing a bright cluster of stamens at the center, while nearby buds remain closed, their tips shaded with soft brown and gold tones. These flowers respond tenderly to sunlight, opening in its warmth and closing when the sky dims, embodying the quiet rhythm of early spring. Around them, tiny purple blossoms and fine, fuzzy stems add gentle contrast, enriching the frame with layers of texture and life. The overall feeling is one of renewal, light, and the soft awakening of nature after winter. A subtle watermark “©ahaktekin” is visible in the lower left corner.

Cherry Creek Falls near Duvall, Washington, is a hidden autumn gem. The trail winds through golden maples and red alder leaves before revealing a peaceful waterfall pouring into a clear pool—an unforgettable Pacific Northwest escape.

It’s #RoseWednesday again. I’ve gone back to June for this beauty, Princess Alexandra of Kent. I love the first flush of roses. Always take masses of photos of the first flowers. Hope your Wednesday is a lovely one, remember “stop and smell the roses”. #Roses #Bloomscrolling

“Rain drops on roses … These are a few of my favourite things.”
Richard Rodger’s & Oscar Hammerstein
Well, one of my favourite roses, anyway - Harlow Carr at Wakehurst yesterday.

A deep pink Harlow Carr rose with raindrops on the outer petals from an earlier brief shower in the walled garden at the Elizabethan mansion Wakehurst Place in West Sussex run by the Royal Horticultural Society for the National Trust. The background is glossy wet green rose leaves.

Good morning

Chasing waterfalls and autumn views! Who else has stood on the Benson Bridge at Multnomah Falls and felt tiny compared to this natural wonder? Highly recommend visiting the Columbia River Gorge this time of year!

Dusky pink rose speaks in soft tones of memory,
of love that lingers gently, touched by time and grace.

A close-up photograph of a single pink rose in bloom. The rose’s petals are layered delicately, showing shades ranging from soft pastel pink to deeper rose pink near the centre. The petals have a slightly velvety texture, with faint natural imperfections and tiny water droplets visible on their surface. The lighting highlights the petal edges and subtle colour gradients, creating depth and contrast against a blurred dark green and grey background of foliage and shadows.

Autumn is showing off with Mount Rainier. This image showcases a beautiful field with a wooden fence in front, a green and golden lawn in the middle, a fantastic line of fall foliage covered trees with hills and misty mountains in the background. The crown on top of it all is Mount Rainier against a beautiful early morning blue sky.
