Spotted a bird nest while in the orchard. Tucked inside was a young bird that definitely had not fledged. 😂

#Nature #Apples #Orchard #NewEngland #BirdNest

Closeup of a bird nest built in the crook of a twisted macoun apple tree. The nest is about 4 niches high and made from strips of dried plant material and mud. Sitting in the nest is an apple that has its upper half visible, its lower half presumably in the nest. The apple is a perfect size for the nest. In the foreground is another two apples that are rotting. In the background are green apple leaves and several apples still on branches.

Rice paddy pic No. 28.

#Nature #Monochrome #Photography #Japan

High contrast monochrome portrait shot of blustery rice plants stretching to the horizon in wavy lines. There are no visible borders to the rice paddy. It’s impressionistic and reminds me a bit of Robert Cappa’s grainy D-Day landing photos with waves of troops struggling waist deep on to the Normandy beaches.

It was worth going out of her way to find calmness and peace. She was amazed at how much work it was . . .

There's no highway, no smooth road to drive over, just this winding dirt path that looks like it will take its time to get to the foothills of the mountain.

But the mountain is pleased by the road, because it doesn't want crowds of cars parked at its feet. I suppose that mountains, in their rocky way, value a bit of privacy now and then, just as we do.

They Were Dragged Into The Woods

They were dragged into the woods. Bound and gagged their fate lay behind them. Decisions made in the past echoing down the years.

By way of an overdue #introduction; I'm rather a simple soul, I mainly enjoy tinkering with #computers, strumming #guitars and a wee bit of #spaniel sitting. I'm now taking some tentative first steps into #gardening too, just to fall in with the #retired stereotype I suppose. I'm also reading the #internet and I'm currently about halfway through it. I detest #BigTech, the #algorithm, #AI and #SurveillanceCapitalism. I love the #Fediverse because it reminds me of the olde worlde internet. I try to post/boost a little bit of everything and anything, including #art, #science, #botany, #transport, #animals, #architecture and #humour, without getting too mired in #politics, although it's not easy to avoid politics when you care about #nature and the #environment. I'm happy to interact with everyone/anyone irrespective of creed, colour, nationality or gender/sexual preferences. In the nicest sense of the word, I really don't give a fuck what you are. I consider myself to be a floating voter of centre/left leaning persuasion. I support the notion of managed #degrowth and #social responsibility. I would rather discuss the common ground we share and aim to respect our differences. I try to avoid fuckwits wherever I encounter them. That'll do for now although I dare say I'll edit this over time. Thanks for reading and peace out☮️

Starry night sky with a bright Milky Way over the snow-capped Tahoma and pine forest, accidentally light painted red by headlamps used by photographers next to me. The scene is serene, with a meteor streaking above.

This year the weather didn’t cooperate to enjoy the full cold moonrise, so this one is from last December as seen rising over the Cascades.

The magnificent, large, full cold moon rising over the snow-capped Cascades and illuminates the evening sky. The peak of the Cascades in the distance add to the peaceful natural landscape.
This is our last full moon of the year, what a sight to behold!

Poppies in a square is a hand-painted watercolor painting in contemporary square format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A vibrant display of red and yellow hues blends together to create an abstract representation of blooming poppy flowers. The flowers display a mix of defined edges and areas where the colors bleed into each other, creating a sense of movement and fluidity. Bold splashes of color bring the flowers to life, while the flow of the watercolor technique with loose brushstrokes gives the scene a dreamy touch.

The dark green trees of a forest can be seen in the background. The blue sky shines through the treetops. The deer and the green grasses in the foreground are illuminated by the sun and stand out brightly against the dark background. The deer has turned its head, which is crowned with imposing antlers, towards the viewer and looks attentively across the meadow.

Space Duck

#Urban #Nature #Photography

A white duck gliding across dark, textured water. The composition is minimalist and moody, focusing heavily on the contrast between the bird's bright plumage and its murky environment.

The duck is positioned diagonally across the frame. The most vibrant point of the image is the duck's bright orange bill.

The water is very dark, almost black, and covered in a dense layer of small debris. This creates a "starfield" effect, making the duck look as though it’s floating through space.

Stunning Algarve view showcases cliffs shaped by time, rising boldly over the turquoise Atlantic. Jagged rock formations, rich in earthy tones, contrast beautifully with the soft blues of the sky and sea. Agave plants frame the scene, their spiky leaves guiding the eye toward the shimmering horizon. Soft clouds drifting overhead, it captures the Algarve’s essence.

#portugal #art #photography #nature #ocean #buyintoart #giftideas #fedigiftshop #beach #photo

This scene along the Algarve coast in Portugal feels expansive and serene. Imagine standing on the edge of a rugged cliff, where jagged rock faces drop steeply toward the vast Atlantic Ocean. The air smells fresh with a hint of salt. The rocks underfoot are warm, with rough, uneven textures, and agave plants with broad, pointed leaves grow nearby, their tips sharp to the touch. The ocean below stretches endlessly, its surface shifting gently with ripples. Above, the sky is open, with soft clouds scattered like cotton, filtering sunlight across the landscape. It’s a place where rugged earth meets calm, flowing water, evoking a sense of peace and awe.

Spotted these Barn Swallow chicks in Seal Rock.

Also, I think I'm a birder now?

Patridgeberry and autumn leaves.

#Nature #Leaves #FallColors

Looking straight down at the forest floor which is covered with a green leafed vine that produces red berries. Each leaf of the vine resembles a green guitar pick with a lighter central vein. The vine has lots of brownish yellow leaves that have fallen.

Delicate Pink Roses in the Mist

Four close-up images of beautiful pink roses. The flowers are bathed in morning mist, with tiny droplets of water clinging to the petals. The light pink colour of the rose contrasts beautifully with the dark green background.

Nikon D3300 AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm

#BloomScrolling #Roses #Autumn #Flowers #Photography #Photo #NaturePhotography #Nature

A pink rose, wet from the mist, blooms beautifully. Its petals, layered and delicate, are highlighted by the sparkling water droplets. The blurred background draws attention to the flower's stunning details.

The photos capture the delicate beauty of the roses, with their soft petals and gentle curves. The mist adds a touch of magic, making the flower seem almost jewelled in appearance.

Had a day off work to take my son to an interview in a village just south of Nottingham (UK). Had 3 hours to kill while he was doing his thing, so popped into Attenborough Nature Reserve (WLT) on a Grey old morning.

Here is a Northern Shoveler filtering the water in one of the many lakes.
