Since some of you've been asking me if/when some of my photography is available in print form, I made a thi.ng:

https://calendar.thi.ng/

Join me on a journey through the breathtaking varied landscapes of the Alps. Captured over the past four years of hiking and personal discovery, this calendar showcases twelve of my favorite moments in these majestic alpine regions, near mountain passes, glaciers, lakes and waterfalls, valleys surrounded by towering peaks...

Check the above link for a full calendar preview and how to order limited edition prints — thank you for your interest & support! 🙏🫶

Last weekend, by pure chance (was looking for reed buntings), I got my second¹ proper shot of a kingfisher – and then another one, right when it blinked.

It's been a while since I've managed to get a decent shot of a chaffinch, so here's: a decent shot of a chaffinch.

Today my partner and I hopped into the dinghy, and I rowed us from the sailboat out to a little island we saw in the distance. It turned out that the whole tiny island was surrounded by oysters beds!

We wandered the whole place, stepping carefully and taking lots of photos. Besides the oysters, we found lots of other sealife (starfish, fish fish, hermit crabs, crab crabs, sea anemones, seagulls, clams, limpets, barnacles, and several species of snail).

More photos of the always beautiful borb that is the Long-tailed tit

#nature #birds #Wildlife #photography #NaturePhotography #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfMastodon #UK

The Long-tailed Tit is easily recognisable with its distinctive blush, black and white colouring. It also has a tail which is bigger than its body, and a bouncing flight. Sociable and noisy residents, Long-tailed Tits are most usually noticed in small, excitable flocks of about 20 birds. Like most tits, they rove the woods and hedgerows, but are also seen on heaths and commons with suitable bushes.

Hey friends! We just came back from a great hike near #garmischpartenkirchen. We wanted to do this mountain recently but the snow in the upper part was too risky for us.

Today we went there again. Beautiful ascent, nice views. Some spray rain and a slippery, dirty descent. But at the end we even had some sun!

Now we feel tired and a bit sore 😉

Snow can be seen on the mountain peaks in the distance, enhancing the serene and picturesque setting. This outdoor mountain scene exudes a sense of wilderness and tranquility, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the beauty of the natural world.

In the distance, a cluster of buildings can be seen against a backdrop of a clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The dominant colors in the image are yellow and green, with accents of dark green. The landscape is expansive, with mountains faintly visible in the background. The image evokes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, capturing the essence of a rural area in full bloom during springtime.

A colony of unknown mushrooms grows on a hollow log transformed into a spring fountain in the German Black Forest

A hollow log was put horizontally as a spout for a natural spring in the forest, the water cascades out of it in a thin drizzle. The log is covered with a colony of brown-gold colored mushrooms with a flat cap. On both sides of the spring, the ground is covered in lush vegetation

This is the 2nd summer for my purple coneflowers. Last year it was about a 1/3 the size and this year is has already put on more blooms than all of last year.

Purple coneflower is a favorite of mine and a friend was kind enough to let me pull some out of his garden two years ago. That's my favorite way to garden: cheap/free and an early reward 👍.

Photograph of a group of purple coneflower flowers and flower buds with out of focus green foliage and a grey and brown wall in the background. Purple coneflower (Genus: Echinacea) is a member of the Asteraceae family and have the typical flower shape of that family with long petals that radiate from a center filled with florets. The petals are a pink-purple. The florets are green near the center and are surrounded by red-orange florets that are surrounded by a yellow ring of exposed pollen at the top of each floret which is surrounded by another ring of red and green florets with yellow pollen at their tops.

“…But green's the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be.
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be.”
- Kermit (lyrics from It’s Not Easy Being Green)
