I sometimes despair that the camera can never really capture just how amazing the natural world can be. But sometimes, just sometimes, the winter light hits those reeds and all those reflections pop... #birds #birdphotography #birding #photooftheday #photography #NatureIsAmazing

Over the stream below the colours of the winter palette are topped with a hint of blue sky showing the clear day arriving through the mist.

Winter aconites (Eranthis hyemelis), bursting out of the ground. Their zesty lemon yellow buds and green leaves contrast against the mottled browns of the ground beneath them.

So very fed up with the endless rain, but cheered a little by these lovelies.

The image shows a dried hop cone (Humulus lupulus) hanging from a long, thin branch and covered in snow. The background is bokeh.

Much hangs by a thread.
Though it seems long and strong, it
can break anywhere.

Thereโ€™s no scientific basis to #BlueMonday, so letโ€™s use the hashtag to promote discussions about mental wellbeing and check in with friends who may be finding things difficult. And if your spirits need a lift, this picture from Finland two years ago today may help.

Holly has its very own fungus! Marasmius hudsonii (Holly parachute) yesterday. Sadly, without a macro lens the depth of field is very shallow.

A minimalist architectural study of light and shadow on a textured, sandy-colored building exterior. A single, dark metal light fixture or vent is mounted on the left, casting a soft shadow. Dominating the right side of the frame is the sharp, intricate shadow of a leafless tree, its branches spreading like a network of veins across the wall's geometric panels. The composition emphasizes the contrast between the rigid, horizontal lines of the architecture and the delicate, organic shapes of the natural shadows.
