This is a black and white photograph of a formal garden viewed from a distance, likely through an archway or dense foliage, creating a dark frame around the scene. A long, straight, light-colored gravel path leads directly towards a tiered fountain in the center of the image. The fountain appears to be made of stone and is surrounded by neatly trimmed hedges and some smaller bushes. On either side of the path are rows of similarly shaped shrubs, contributing to the symmetrical design of the garden. The top portion of the image is dominated by the branches and leaves of trees, with the path appearing to tunnel toward the fountain as a focal point.

This is a detailed botanical illustration of a plant stem with multiple blooms and leaves. The stem is green and gently curved, branching out to support three distinct, downward-facing flowers and several sets of leaves.

A close-up photograph depicts a garden design featuring a semi-circular arrangement of succulents and small stones. The design is built into a landscape of various-sized rocks and green foliage.

A white ibis with a long, curved beak is foraging in a garden bed. The bird, mostly white with black wingtips and legs, has its head down, appearing to be searching for something in the mulch. Surrounding the bird are several clumps of silvery-green foliage plants, contrasting with the dark brown mulch covering the ground. Green grass is visible at the very bottom edge of the frame, and the background is blurred, suggesting a garden setting. The image is shot at a low angle, emphasizing the bird and plants.

A long, narrow pathway winds through a dense, lush garden enclosed by a glass structure. The pathway is made of reddish-brown rectangular bricks and appears slightly damp. Large, vibrant green leaves from numerous plants, predominantly banana leaves, overhang and partially obstruct the view, creating a tunnel-like effect. A small, ornate stone statue is visible on a low ledge to the left of the pathway. The garden appears to be within a greenhouse or conservatory, as the metal framework of the structure is visible at the top of the frame, and light filters through the glass.

A close-up photograph shows a textured, metallic surface covered in repeating ginkgo leaf-shaped patterns. The surface is dark, likely bronze or a similar alloy, with patches of green oxidation visible throughout. Each leaf is three-dimensional, raised from the background and appears to have a central stem or vein. The leaves are arranged in neat rows and columns, forming a grid-like pattern across the entire frame. The lighting casts subtle shadows, enhancing the depth and detail of the embossed design.

The image shows three koi fish swimming in a rocky, shallow body of water. The rocks are a variety of muted grays, browns, and greens, covering the entire bottom of the frame. One fish is a bright orange with white markings, positioned near the center of the image and facing towards the upper left. A second orange and white koi is positioned lower in the frame, partially obscured, and a third fish, slightly more golden in tone, is swimming towards the upper left corner. Reflections of light dance across the water's surface, creating a shimmering effect on the fish and the rocky bed below. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Gemma3:27b
