A pond on a sunny autumn day surrounded by trees… leaves are on the ground and a fishing peg leads to the water.. there’s a field the other side of the pond … trees and sky reflect in the water

Welcome to the new week and have a great one!

The photo centers on a welcoming sign that reads “Willkommen,” flanked by decorative butterflies, and is suspended against a weathered, blue-green wooden door. The rusty patina of the sign and the paint peeling from the door evoke a strong sense of shabby chic style, a blend of vintage charm and distressed elements that celebrate imperfection and character.

A borby blue-headed corvid called a Woodhouse's Scrub-jay waits patiently with his junk in the fresh snow covering my Emory Oak tree while I take pictures before filling the peanut bowl. Zen birding.

KC and the Sunshine Band’s hits #1 with “That’s the Way (I Like It)” — 50 years ago today.

“People always thought [the track] was some kind of crazy accident, like we just stumbled onto a hook,” said Harry Wayne Casey. “But we worked that groove over and over until it felt like a living thing.”

#Bloomscrolling
A monochrome photograph focusing on a delicate Geranium flower, captured in high-contrast. The composition is dominated by a single, fully bloomed flower positioned slightly to the right of the vertical center in the lower half of the frame. The flower's five petals are the main focal point, appearing translucent due to strong backlighting. This lighting technique emphasises the intricate network of fine veins that radiate across each petal, creating a luminous and ethereal quality. The petals seem to glow against the darker elements of the scene. Beneath the petals, the sepals and the central reproductive parts of the flower are visible as darker, more opaque shapes. A slender stem supports the bloom, extending downwards into a cluster of other elements. In the very bottom portion of the image, several other buds and seed pods of the plant are present. Some of these are in focus, while others are softly blurred, adding depth to the foreground. The background is characterised by a shallow depth of field, resulting in a smooth, abstract bokeh effect. It consists of a gradient of deep grays and blacks, completely devoid of discernible details. This dark, soft background effectively isolates the main subject, drawing the viewer's eye directly to the brightly lit flower and enhancing its delicate structure. The overall mood of the photograph is quiet, intimate, and dramatic, showcasing the fragile beauty of the natural subject through the monochromatic lens. The grayscale palette removes the distraction of colour, forcing an appreciation for form, texture, light, and shadow. The contrast between the sharp, bright subject and the soft, dark background creates a powerful visual impact. The flower appears almost suspended in darkness, a beacon of natural detail and form. The various stages of growth, from tight buds to the open bloom, suggest a natural cycle captured in a single, evocative frame.

A Blackbird perches on a brown log against a background of green leaves with white flowers in the foreground. The bird has an orange ring around its bright dark eye and it's orange beak is open as it sings loudly to mark its territory.
