Prairie Petunia(Ruellia humilis) is a perennial native to central and eastern North America. It thrives in dry prairies, open woodlands, glades, and sandy soils, preferring full sun to partial shade. The flowers open in the morning and fall off by evening, lasting only one day

an indigo bunting for #BlueTue #ColorADay #Birds #Photography
an indigo bunting is a smallish blue bird - this one stopped to sit on a branch as it was traveling through Galveston, Texas on migration(I think) - the blue is so intense - i tried decreasing saturation a bit, but this is how it came out of the camera. OM and Olympus cameras tend to overdo the blues though -

Take a Bow.

#Nikon #Z8
An almost leafless tree with twisted branches stands in the foreground of a misty forest. Sparse red leaves cling to the tree’s limbs. The forest floor is covered in reddish-brown fallen leaves. In the background, more bare trees fade into dense fog, creating a muted and atmospheric scene.

Hello there... Early evening. My little buddy, Felix The Fox, waking up after a nice siesta. He was giving me his best Clint Eastwood impression, with his 'squinting eyes'. "Go ahead, make my day". Very handsome!!

Last of the Light

Alone on the canal as the last of the light fades away and the world slips out of focus.

New Mexico

The land rises with quiet grace.
Green breath gathers below in silence.
Clouds drift like gentle thoughts.
A calmness settles, and the heart feels whole.

A Rough-skinned Newt (Taricha granulosa) crawls through a bed of fallen oak leaves on a sunny afternoon today in SW #Oregon. The species is known for its potent tetrodotoxin, one of the strongest natural toxins found in #amphibians #wildlifephotography #cute #photography

I had been looking for a red Amanita mushroom all fall, and finally found a group of three last week.
