The image shows a partially frozen waterfall with cold hues contrasting with the yellow needles of some larches on the upper plateau.

Probably the last opportunity of the season to capture flower and insects. Here a European hornet on an ivy flower.
No risk of being attacked, the hornet is too busy building reserves for the winter.
A close-up macro photograph of a hornet perched on a cluster of small green buds, showing its yellow and reddish body, detailed wings, and textured head. The background is softly blurred, making the insect and plant sharply stand out.

Layered waterfalls cascade into pale blue pools, framed by leaves and warm sunlight filtering through the dense tropical forest.

A dramatic black and white photo of a giant troll made of recycled wood. She's on her hands and knees digging rocks in front of a fence with mined mountains in the background. The sky looks black with white wisps of clouds.

The way the sun cuts through the trees, puts my aching heart at ease. The forest doesn't ask my name, our connection is on a deeper plane. We speak a language without words, communication between two worlds. We grow together every day, we just grow in different ways.

seriously…still happening.

lifting other people's photographs and claiming them as your own…is wrong.

acknowledging other humans work matters…it’s not hard.🤓

A blue hydrangea turning pink as it dries out.

Aging gracefully like a boss.

A macro shot of a hydrangea cluster which has begun to dry out. The underlying blue/purple tone can still be seen on some petals, but most are deepening into a rich pink shade. The driest ones have turned yellow-brown with one near the bottom middle of the frame looking especially crunchy. The deep green leaves are out of focus in the top right corner of the frame.
