I love taking pictures with my 3rd Gen SE. The simplicity is great, and the photo quality matches that of my wife’s iPhone 13. I’m all about minimizing or eliminating most bells and whistles…

I might not be in the majority, but I love spiders and the good that they do. Splendid little engineers🕷️

Love how the geometry and shading lead the eye to the woman in the distance. Very compelling photo. Nice work!

Cannas are blooming and the hummingbirds are visiting. I haven’t been quick enough to photograph any of them yet…

I’m flushed with awe at the colors…

Neighbor’s cat got out again? 😁

Vaguely reminiscent of a scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Nice photo…

Extremely entrancing entrance… 😀

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thank you 🙏🏻

When I was young, I had a Praktica LLC that I absolutely loved. I started my photographic journey with it…

I’ve seen very little mention anywhere of how we here in the USA might be dealing with an agent provocateur masquerading as a “patriot”, who’s intent is to bring the country down while pretending to “save” it…

Thanks for posting this. Everyone can always use more peace ☮️

Very nice astrophoto. What kind of equipment setup do you work with?

I still have my trusty 8008s. Really love the camera and wish that there was a way to convert it to digital…

Small part of our pollinator friendly yard. Working to ensure that the whole ecosystem is here long after we’re gone…

I always scoop up garbage whenever I’m on a beach, no matter where. It irritates me just how how people can be so stupid and lazy by not picking up after themselves 😠

I have fond memories of the snapdragons we had while I was growing up. I’d watch the bees crawl in and out of the flowers for hours on end. Yours look wonderful…

It appears to be a form of Leafcutter Bee, genus Megachile.

I like to hear about anything filled with bees these days. It really lifts my spirits! 🐝🌽

I never would have made it as a food photographer because I’d eat my subjects before I even took one photo… They look yummy…

I’ve planted Yucca flaccida, commonly called Adam's needle or weak-leaf yucca, and have collected the fruit from them. I heard they are edible, and flavorful when roasted. Does anyone have tips or recipes for preparing these? I’d love to read your suggestions.

Yes, that is a typical redbud tree in this photo. One of my favorites…

Perhaps it’s the start of a miniature crop circle on the right 😁

Yucca fruit ready for roasting

Glad to see that she/he is observing the posted beach hours…

I love how you captured the wings in mid flight…

A sober reminder that nature, while beautiful, is also harsh. Wasp eating a black swallowtail caterpillar on one of my dill plants…

I agree 100%. AI is the most overhyped technology since blockchain. Dubious solutions in search of problems to solve that don’t matter in the end…
