a large barren tree leans backward at an acute angle to the ground, it's wide and diverse branches shooting off in every direction - well balanced against the soft muddy soils of the river bank strewn with fallen leaves & frost

This photograph presents a compelling, close-up of a leaf, its surface glistening with numerous water droplets. The focus is sharp on the leaf and the moisture clinging to it, while the background is rendered in a soft, ethereal blur. The leaf itself appears to be from a plant with a robust, textured surface, possibly a holly or a similar species, given the small, sharp spines visible along its margin. The intricate network of veins is clearly defined, forming a crinkled, almost leathery texture that is highly visible beneath the water. The colour palette is muted and organic, dominated by deep, dark greens and earthy browns, which suggests an environment that is shaded and moist.
The water droplets are the central feature of the composition. They are scattered across the leaf's surface in varying sizes, from tiny, almost imperceptible specks to large, spherical beads. Each droplet acts like a perfect lens, reflecting and refracting the ambient light and a distorted view of the surroundings. A particularly large, pear-shaped droplet hangs precariously from the tip of the leaf, its surface taut and ready to fall. This suspended drop is a focal point, capturing the viewer's attention and adding a sense of dynamic tension to the otherwise still image. The lighting is soft and indirect, from a shaded location, creating a gentle illumination that highlights the translucence of the water and the subtle sheen of the leaf's surface. The background, a beautiful wash of blurry, dark shapes and colours, enhances the macro effect and isolates the subject, allowing the viewer to appreciate the fine details without distraction. The overall feeling of the image is one of quiet serenity, capturing a fleeting moment of natural beauty after rainfall.

Dahlia 'Fire and Ice' has produced a rogue bloom with petals that are almost entirely all red, which seems appropriate for #RedWednesday πŸŒ±πŸ“·

A photograph of a calm Highland lake surrounded by golden autumn trees, their bright leaves mirrored in the still water below. A single canoeist glides quietly across the loch, appearing small against the backdrop of tall, snow-dusted mountains in the distance. Above, a soft morning sky adds to the sense of peace and stillness in the scene.

A birdseye view of lots of trees with variable colors of fall foliage from green yellow, orange, and red. Beyond the trees is blue and seafoam colored Lake Michigan, and a strip of blue sky above it. In the top left corner is a branch with a sparse amount of leaves.  This view can be seen along (or just past, not sure) Michigan Highway 119 (M-119) along the Tunnel of Trees Scenic Heritage Route.

A close-up, slightly moody photograph of a cluster of small, vibrant purple Verbena flowers, featuring a mix of tiny, flat blossoms and taller, tubular buds with delicate hairs on the stalks, capped with water droplets. The flowers are in sharp focus against a soft, dark-green and out-of-focus background. The overall tone is rich and slightly dramatic.

Black and white photograph capturing a close-up view between an old stone wall and a weathered concrete fence post wrapped in barbed wire. The sun flares brightly through the narrow gap, casting dramatic light and shadow across the textured stone and grass below. Beyond the fence, a flat field stretches under a sky streaked with fast-moving clouds, creating a sense of depth and timeless rural solitude.

A grand stone manor house stands in the distance, framed symmetrically between two large, mature trees with thick trunks and leafy branches. The trees rise high, their canopies arching toward each other, creating a natural frame for the stately building. The wide expanse of green lawn stretches out beneath them, dappled with light and shadow under a partly cloudy sky.

Drenagh House is a 19th-century Georgian mansion in County Derry, Northern Ireland, and has been the home of the McCausland family since 1729. The estate was originally known as Fruithill. Now you can have your breakfast here or wedding. 😁 #ThickTrunkTuesday #photography #EastCoastKin
