Absolutely stunning vibrant colours - great images!

A large maple tree stands in a quiet neighborhood, covered in bright orange and yellow autumn leaves. The sky is clear and blue, and sunlight makes the colors glow. Behind the tree are houses and a wooden fence. The scene feels peaceful and full of seasonal beauty.

Full autumn glory on display - our local tree turning heads and hearts with every golden gust.

Whoa! That bird’s striking a pose like it knows it’s the star - brilliant capture!

Side image of a lizard perched on a rock, facing left with grasslands and hills in the background. The lizard's body color varies from light brown to dark brown. The most striking feature are the scales on the body, limbs, and head, which are enlarged, curved, and end at the tip in a pointy spike.

Adding to my Middle Earth life list, the Giant Sungazer (Smaug giganteus), endemic to highland grasslands in South Africa. They live in self-dug burrows and eat invertebrates and small vertebrates. Low and slow birthrates leave them vulnerable. #herps #lizards #NaturePhotography 🌿

A quiet suburban street in Illinois is lined with tall trees, each bursting with vibrant red autumn leaves. The trees stand in a neat row along the sidewalk, their branches full and fiery, creating a canopy of color that stretches into the distance. The leaves are a rich crimson, glowing against a backdrop of soft blue sky and scattered white clouds. The sidewalk is clean and straight, bordered by well-kept lawns and driveways. A white mailbox stands near one of the trees, adding a touch of everyday life to the scene. The houses in the background are modest and warmly lit by daylight, their brick and siding facades partially visible through the foliage. The overall mood is peaceful and welcoming, as if the neighborhood itself is gently embracing the season’s change.

A dense canopy of deciduous trees fills the frame, their branches layered with leaves in vivid autumn hues. The foliage ranges from deep red to burnt orange and golden yellow, creating a tapestry of warm colors that seem to glow against the soft light filtering through. The leaves are tightly packed, overlapping like a woven quilt, with only small glimpses of the sky peeking through in patches of pale blue. The branches crisscross and stretch upward, forming a natural ceiling that feels both protective and celebratory.

The scene captures a peaceful outdoor setting during autumn. In the foreground, several trees stand tall with branches full of leaves in glowing shades of orange, red, and hints of gold. The foliage is dense but allows light to filter through, casting a warm glow on the ground. Beneath the trees, the grass is lush and green, offering a striking contrast to the fiery colors above. Scattered leaves lie gently on the lawn, like nature’s confetti. In the background, more trees echo the same autumn palette, and a small blue structure - possibly a shed or building - is partially visible through the branches. The sky above is mostly clear, with soft patches of blue peeking through the canopy. The overall mood is serene and celebratory, as if the landscape itself is quietly honoring the season’s change.

At the center of a quiet suburban street stands a striking tree, ablaze with brilliant red autumn leaves. Its canopy is full and symmetrical, with branches reaching outward like open arms embracing the season. The leaves are densely packed, creating a rich, fiery texture that dominates the scene. Surrounding the red tree are other trees with yellow and green foliage, offering a gentle contrast and framing the central spectacle. The street curves gently around the tree, with neatly paved roads and trimmed grass on either side. In the distance, modest houses peek through the trees, and the sky above is partly cloudy with soft patches of blue. The overall mood is calm and celebratory - an everyday neighborhood transformed by the bold poetry of fall.

An Illinois state neighbourhood, serene in its welcome of Autumn 🍂 - where every #crimson leaf whispers a quiet ode to change.

The image shows a single red maple tree planted on a grassy strip between the sidewalk and the street in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Its leaves are ablaze in vivid shades of red and orange, signaling peak autumn. Behind the tree stands a beige house with white trim and a white garage door. The sky above is dramatic - layered with thick, dark gray clouds that hint at approaching rain, while patches of lighter sky peek through. The late afternoon sunlight casts a golden glow on the tree, intensifying its fiery colors and creating a striking contrast with the moody sky.

Here’s to the 10th;

Kingfisher this morning at Herriots Bridge, CVL.

Hurricanes feed off of warm water. Watch how quickly the eye of #Melissa collapsed as it moved onto land and over the mountainous terrain of Jamaica, and how quickly it is reforming now that it has moved back over water! I will be adding this radar loop to my earth science lectures.

Photo of an aardvark standing by a hole it had dug, in the dark lit by a light from the lower-right side and casting a shadow.

We really wanted to see an aardvark in Botswana, and finally came across one digging a hole the last night we were there.

Not the highest quality photo due to basically no light, we only used a small flashlight for a moment to get this.

Marigolds are always pretty - but your photo makes it feel special. The colors, the raindrops..it’s like the flower is glowing.

Incredibly beautiful rose image!

This close-up photograph features a single yellow rose in full bloom. Its petals are richly layered, curling slightly at the edges to form a soft, textured spiral. The color is vibrant - sunny and warm-standing out against the surrounding green leaves, which have jagged edges and a glossy surface. Just below the rose, a wilted flower leans quietly, its faded form contrasting with the healthy bloom above. The background includes blurred greenery and what appears to be a wall or fence, adding a sense of enclosure and stillness. The image captures a poignant moment: the rose at its peak, while nearby, another has already surrendered to the season’s change.

Two yellow roses are the central focus of this outdoor photograph. One rose is fully bloomed, its layered petals open wide in a radiant display of golden color. The second rose, slightly smaller, is in an earlier stage of blooming - its petals still curled inward with promise. Surrounding the roses are glossy green leaves with jagged edges, typical of rose plants. In the background, a few wilted flowers and fading stems hint at the changing season, suggesting autumn’s quiet arrival.

‘Still blooming in yellow, even as others fade into autumn.’

Evening sun behind the ruins of Egglestone Abbey on a green hill above the tree-lined river.

An oak tree with golden foliage frames a fence with green fields and trees beyond. The ruined abbey is just visible in top right corner.

Visited the ruins of #EgglestoneAbbey near #BarnardCastle earlier and had a stroll by the river Tees. Golden autumn weather again. Photos can’t begin to do the area justice. The foliage colours so beautiful this year. #CountyDurham

The English countryside holds its charm - quiet, green, and timeless. Those who lived there or live there are privileged! Your beautiful images bear this out!

A bright red Dahlia with multiple petals, all of which have white tips. A yellow white tipped dahlia and a purple white tipped dahlia similar to this one can be seen in the background.

It’s mid-week, how about a bright red dahlia to reignite things?
