I will admit you are the finest if not the loveliest rose in the garden. But you see, my dear, I was looking for a sunflower.

A close-up photograph of a large golden-orange shelf mushroom growing high on the side of a tree in the Big Thicket. The mushroom’s broad cap curves outward, revealing layered gills with deep, warm color. Smaller brown bracket fungi scatter across the bark in the background, adding texture without overwhelming the main subject. A thin green vine climbs downward beside the mushroom, giving a vertical contrast to the horizontal folds of the fungus. The bark is gray and rough, creating a strong textural backdrop to the soft, rippled shapes of the mushroom.

Close-up macro photograph showing cactus spines and water droplets on a bright green cactus surface. The image highlights sharp brown thorns, clear dew drops, textured cactus skin, and detailed plant structure. Strong lighting emphasizes one central spine while the surrounding spines are darker and desaturated, creating contrast and an abstract botanical effect. Suitable for keywords related to macro photography, cactus details, water droplets, plant textures, and nature close-ups.

Macro Close-Up of Cactus Spines With Water Droplets on Green Surface

A symmetrical abstract pattern created from swirling smoke in white, blue, tan, and pink tones against a black background. The image shows curling tendrils and layered wisps of smoke forming mirrored shapes that resemble wings or flowing energy. Fine details of the smoke lines appear crisp and textured.

Some smoke art.

Thank you sir. That means a lot coming from a master such as yourself (sincerely). Thank you

A close-up vertical photo of a tree trunk covered in bright green moss with many small, pale cream-colored bracket fungi growing outward in thin, shelf-like layers. The fungi are arranged in uneven rows up the trunk, each one about the size of a fingertip. The moss is dense and vibrant, filling the spaces between the brackets. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the textures of both the moss and the fungi while the background fades into a gentle blur.

Further down the forest path from my friends place, I see a brand new development: little white houses with perfectly manicured green moss lawns. Not so sure about this forest gentrification😂

Three rust-colored mushrooms growing from a decaying log in a damp forest setting. The largest mushroom sits in the foreground with a wide, rippled cap and visible gills underneath. Behind it, a medium mushroom leans forward, partially shaded by the larger one. A smaller third mushroom stands slightly farther back, its cap just peeking into view. All three have thick, textured stems emerging from the wood. The backdrop is a dark, almost charcoal-black log with scattered green moss and soft bokeh, giving depth and a cool contrast to the warm tones of the mushrooms. The scene feels intimate and close to the forest floor, highlighting the small, hidden details of the woodland environment.

Visited some old friends in the forest today. They’ve grown a bit since last time and showed up in new outfits. Good-looking bunch, and always a joy to photograph.

Great lines, shadows, shapes and contrast. Fantastic work. Thank you

The great glass walls of Reykjavik's renowned concert hall, Harpa are like stacked ice cubes. The interior is very bright, even for the limited daylight hours when this was taken in February. The building offers many places to view the surroundings of hangout in places like these platforms along the stairs.

I'm not a botanist but I'm pretty sure this is a flower of some type.

High-contrast black and white photograph of a dark, stone spiral staircase inside the tower of a castle. Two tall, narrow windows with multiple glass panes are visible above the steps, flooding the rough-hewn stone walls with bright light. A dark metal handrail runs diagonally across the frame, dividing the deep shadow in the foreground from the illuminated stonework above the steps.

Castle Campbell in central #Scotland, originally known as Castle Glume, dates back to the early 1400s. The windows in this old staircase looked to be of a more modern vintage 😀

Close-up macro photograph of the open seed pods of a plant, likely a species of Euonymus (Spindle Tree). Against a deeply blurred, dark green and brown background (bokeh), a cluster of four brilliant, pearl-white seeds is visible, emerging from the cracked, dried brown capsules on a thin, woody branch. A second cluster of two white, un-opened seeds hangs above and to the left.

I took this a couple hours ago. I thought it was pretty, however the focus could be better.
