A colour photograph in portrait style. It shows the famous young players at Manchester United who went on to be called the Class of 92. They have been painted in heroic Roman style. Lots to look at here and enjoy if you are a fan.

This photo by Jack Greenwood shows a beach in a place called three cliffs bay in the Gower Penninsular in Wales.
A thin strip of sea with the coast beyond can be seen in the distance.
A bigger outcrop of land is on the right.

The Monarch Chrysalis. The pepper plant is pretty tall and the caterpillar climbed almost to the top to build. Looks like a nice safe sheltered place. #monarchs #butterflies

A green bell pepper plant next to a wooden stake in a raised bed garden. Various sizes of peppers AND a brown butterfly chrysalis.

Close up of the chrysalis. A row of gold spots towards the top and the stripes of the wings visible. A tiny pepper above it.

Good morning #BlueSky ☕️ & welcome to 2017 on a glorious Autumn day in Bushy Park just outside London. Have a smooth day my friends ☺️ #ThickTrunkTuesday #EastCoastKin #Photography #PhotographyOfBlueSky #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Nature #NaturePhotography #BushyPark #London #RoyalPark #Tuesday #Autumn

Our photograph shows a large fallen tree trunk lying on a grassy field in Bushy Park which is one of the Royal Parks outside of London in the United Kingdom.

The trunk is old and weathered, its bark mostly stripped away to reveal smooth, pale wood beneath. There are hollow sections and knots in its surface, suggesting decay and the passage of time.

The surrounding landscape is open and natural, with lush green grass in the foreground and tall trees in full leaf behind it. The trees form a loose line across the background, their leaves tinted with early autumn hues.

The sky above is overcast with a soft bluish-grey tone, giving the scene a calm, cool, slightly melancholic feeling, as it was taken nearing dusk in this quiet woodland clearing within the park.

Our picture is in full colour and has a thin white border frame to finish off this shot.

Fresh raindrops cling to a tiny wee pink bud, each droplet glinting in the light like a miniature lens. 😊

$A close-up macro photograph of a pink flower bud covered in glistening water droplets. The tightly closed petals display a rich gradient from deep magenta at the base to a lighter pink toward the tip. Each droplet is sharply defined, acting like tiny lenses that refract light and subtly mirror the surrounding colours. The central vein of the petal creates a vertical line that adds texture and depth. The background is softly blurred in hues of green and pink, emphasizing the vivid details and glossy clarity of the droplets on the bud.$

The photo captures a delicate spider web glistening with tiny dewdrops, illuminated by the soft golden light of early morning. Sunlight filters through the misty background, highlighting each silken thread and creating a gentle, ethereal atmosphere. The blurred shapes of trees and horizontal lines in the distance suggest a peaceful outdoor setting, enhancing the tranquil mood of the scene.

A little piece of autumn brought into our kitchen. The changing colours of a Hydrangea from the front garden make a table display in our favourite blue geese ceramic jug.

The changing colours - light green, through rusty and coppery reds, of a Hydrangea from our front garden make a table display in a favourite blue geese ceramic jug. The display sits on a green leaf-pattern mat on an oak dining table against a plain yellow painted wall.

A lone kayaker in a yellow kayak sits motionless on glassy water just prior to sunrise. The kayak faces a horizon washed in deep violet and golden light. Slight undulations are seen in the still, reflective water.

The design, a stylised flower surrounded by guilloche, is simple but highly effective 😍
