The photo displays a unique, handcrafted clock made from a recycled vinyl record. Its design is from an acrylic pour technique and has swirls of green, gold, and brown acrylic paint. The design is earthy, with cellular details. Three simple, gold toned metallic hands indicate the time, positioned in the center of the circular face.

The photo displays a handmade jute macrame wall hanging featuring a lotus flower pattern, suspended from a piece of driftwood with long fringe at the bottom. The piece is hanging against a light-colored wall, with a teal glass vase with a small macrame leaf tag visible to the left, and a portion of an upholstered chair with a blue and white patterned cover on the right.

This photo displays a vibrant, hand-painted dot mandala on a black wooden background. The circular design is created using numerous small, raised dots of acrylic paint, a technique often referred to as dot art or puntillismo. The mandala features a striking color palette of bright yellow, orange, cyan blue, and various shades of purple. The black background provides a high contrast, making the colors stand out vividly.

The photo captures a serene, misty morning scene at a lake. The calm water reflects the light and the dark silhouettes of the trees on the far bank. Ripples are visible across the surface. A number of geese are gathered and swimming in groups on the :A bank of dense fog hangs low over the water and the distant shoreline. The background features a dense line of bare, dark trees.The sky above the trees has soft hues of yellow, orange, and blue.

Cloud over Colpoy's Bay, Ontario shortly before sunrise. Part of my #GettingBackToBasics project using a small set of manual focus prime lenses. In this case a 35mm I have been using since the early 1980s.

Waxwing.
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme set by @alan678.bsky.social is #NaturesPantry, birds interacting with berries, seeds, or flowers.

A rare visit to my local patch by a small flock of waxings.

I would contest that a kingfisher with a fish also fits nature's pantry....🤭

A bird sits on a berry laden branch, tossing a red berry into its mouth. The bird is a pale pinky buff colour with distinctive black stripes around the eye and beak. It has a distinctive laid back crest.

Red Knot (Calidris canutus).

Today's #birdoftheday theme set by @robcrank68.bsky.social is #Groups.

Definitely 4 or more in this jigsaw-worthy image of knot at RSPB Snettisham.
I like the variation in plumage: some still retaining a bit of summer colour.

100s of small reddish brown waders in flight. The image is a mass of birds all flying left. A thin strip of water is visible at the bottom of the image.

It was snowing on Sunday when I took a late evening walk. For a short moment it looked like a fairy world. Snow is gone by now but I will keep the spirit in my heart ❄️

This photo features a male Northern Cardinal perched on a bare branch in a winter setting. The bird is entirely red with a black face mask and a large, orange-red bill. The background consists of numerous gray and brown, leafless branches with a light dusting of snow, which makes the cardinal's vibrant red plumage stand out sharply.

In my excitement at finally seeing these Tibetan Snowcocks, I took neither a good photo nor a video! This was up at 17,000 ft with Gokyo Lake below and Everest somewhere in the background!

Blue Jay qualifies for both . Nature’s pantry here is likely a feeder in the winter.

I wrote this piece a little while back, thought I would post it again today, especially for newer followers. It was an interesting pondering exercise for myself, wondering what I'm afraid of, and what I wasn't afraid of.

Shapeshifting.

#Forest #ForestPhotography #TeutoburgerWald #Wander #Photography #NaturePhotography #Woodland #Lensball
(what I’ve learned so far in the comments)
A clear glass ball sits on wet ground at the edge of a shallow puddle. The sphere refracts an early dawn landscape, with a pale blue sky and a thin warm band of light near the horizon. A lone bare tree appears inside the ball, flipped upside down by refraction. Below it, the puddle reflects the glass ball almost perfectly, creating the illusion of two stacked spheres and a doubled, mirrored scene. The background is softly blurred and dark, while the ball and its reflection hold the sharp, calm focus of the pre-sunrise moment.

This photo is a close-up of a male Blue Dasher dragonfly perched on a green, spiky cactus pad. The dragonfly has a vibrant blue abdomen and large blue eyes. Its wings are transparent with intricate veining. The dragonfly is looking at the camera and appears to be smiling. The background is blurred multicolored vegetation.

The photo captures a scenic view of a highway at sunset, taken from a moving vehicle. A large semi-trailer truck dominates the right foreground, its metallic side reflecting the vibrant orange, yellow, and blue colors of the sky. The sky features a dramatic and colorful sunset with horizontal cloud streaks, casting a warm glow over the landscape. The asphalt road stretches into the distance, marked by white lane dividers. Several other vehicles can be seen ahead, with some headlights visible. The sides of the highway are lined with dark trees silhouetted against the bright horizon.

Looking South during an early morning bimble across fields with the dog this morning I was very happy to be able to witness this Waning Crescent moon in the dawn sky.
#Stunday #ColorADay #OrangeSun #Dawn #Moon
Looking south the lights of Houses on the FLying Fields estate in Southam Warwickshire are visible in the darkness at the bottom of this letterbox cropped image. Above the skyline lies a band of orange with dark clouds resting on top of the orange band that gives way to blue sky and grey clouds. The base of some of the clouds are tinged red and pink and the waning crescent moon sits near the right hand top corner of the image.
