The self-hug, a wise practice.

A new, bright yellow rudbeckia flower close-up, its pedals still twisted tightly together before opening. If your imagination allows it, the petals may suggest arms wrapped around the flower as though squeezing itself in a hug. In the blurry background, the flower's green leaves, as well as the oranges and greens of other plants.

    Buttercup after rain

    #nature #naturephotography #flowers #wildflowers #bloomscrolling #raindrops #droplets

    A side profile photograph of a single yellow buttercup flower after heavy rain. The flower is photographed from the side and slightly below, so that the outside of the petals are visible, covered by a number of raindrops.

The upper part of the nearest petals and the lower part of the slender green stalk are in sharp focus.

The background it an almost uniform, dark green blur

            Off the tourist paths #PhotoSuggestion

            That was many years ago on a New Year’s Day walk. Unfortunately, you don’t always get lighting like that. I’m very glad there weren’t any tourists in the way.

            I’ve just been clicking through lots of photos in my collection again. Lost places, lonely mountains, narrow streets in big cities... I realised that I’m actually always off the beaten track. In that case, I might as well send a photo from home. And here we are now ;-).

            A tranquil forest scene illuminated by soft golden sunlight filtering through tall, densely packed trees. The image captures an early morning or late afternoon atmosphere, with long beams of light piercing through a light mist or fog in the woodland. The forest floor is covered with small evergreen saplings, low shrubs, and reddish-brown autumn leaves, creating a rich contrast against the dark tree trunks. Bare branches and sparse foliage suggest a late autumn or early winter season. The composition emphasizes depth, natural textures, and the serene mood of a quiet woodland landscape. Warm amber highlights and cool shadows create a cinematic and atmospheric effect.

              Good day!

              Purple? I’m a fan, which is a good thing this year because fleabane seems unusually abundant.

              And then there was the oversized plant that was oval instead of round. It was impossible to miss, but difficult to photograph owing to the breeze.

              Be everwell.

              A cluster of five fleabane flowers in the shadows. Purple petals around a yellow center.

                White cosmos flowers and a pale blue sky. One bloom with a yellow centre seems to look up at the sky. The others surrounding it are blurred and look almost like they were painted in watercolour. At the bottom of the frame, thin, green grass-like leaves; in the background, more blurry flowers in pinks and yellows.

                  Why is this an 'unexpected result' (todays #PhotoSuggestion)? At the time, I was keen to gain experience with my new camera and was trying out all sorts of things. For example, I’d bought a #macro lens. But I didn’t manage to produce anything particularly spectacular with it. I took this photo with a 300mm telephoto lens. An unexpected lesson.

                  A close-up macro photograph captures a fuzzy bumblebee hovering midair above a vibrant pink-orange flower in a sunlit garden. The bee’s wings are spread wide in motion, with visible pollen dusting its face and body. The flower beneath it features layered coral-pink petals and a textured reddish center topped with curled yellow florets. The background is artistically blurred with soft green foliage and out-of-focus pink flowers, creating a warm bokeh effect that emphasizes the bee and blossom in sharp focus. Natural sunlight highlights the delicate textures of the petals, bee fur, and translucent wings, giving the image a vivid, lively spring or summer atmosphere.

                          Did you know that the European mole (Talpa europaea) has a toxin in its saliva which paralyses earthworms, their favourite food? The moles may then store the paralysed earthworms in special 'larder' chambers within their burrows, where they are kept alive and fresh until later consumption. These larders have been reported to contain many hundreds of earthworms at a time!

                          When it's time to visit their pantry for a snack, these moles have a clever trick to make sure they don't consume all the unpleasant soil stuck inside the paralysed earthworm's guts... by rolling the earthworm between their powerful front paws, they forceably squeeze the soil out of the worm, making their meal much less gritty!

                          A photograph of a European mole, a stocky, brown-furred mammal with large front paws evolved for digging.

                            I think this is the day.

                            I’ve longed toyed with the idea of leaving home on foot, hiking the paved trail to Mount Sentinel, and climbing it.

                            It’s a small peak, the hike to it long, but flat. The endeavor as a whole, though, is ambitious. 🤔

At the very heart of the flower, the intricate inner structures are sharply focused. A dense cluster of delicate, spindly yellow stamens arches outward from the center, each tipped with dark, prominent brown anthers covered in pollen. The intense sunlight casts soft shadows of these stamens onto the smooth, pale surface of the surrounding petals

                                          A vertical orientation forest photo. A path seamed with low-growing green leafy plants leads straight into the frame. A larger tree on the right is heavily decorated with moss. It is foggy and the sun is illuminating the fog, making it very bright. The forest and path disappear into the fog.
