A flower to hold up the light #bloomscrolling
A very pale pink cosmos flower in focus int he foreground, as viewed in profile and slightly from below. The stem is somewhat diagonal and the pale petals are opened wide, as though the flower is holding up the pale grey of the sky. In the background, a blurred gradient from light (at the top) to dark (at the bottom).

A withered flower stands in sharp focus, its dried petals showing hints of faded mauve and magenta around a dark, conical seed head. The surrounding background is a soft, blurred mix of green and dark purple, drawing all attention to the dramatic texture and somber beauty of this dying bloom.

Autumn rain, golden glow. 😊
A close-up macro image of a bright yellow flower covered in glistening water droplets. The central disk of the flower is dark green and textured, surrounded by vibrant yellow petals tinged with orange near the base. Each petal reflects light through the droplets, creating a glossy, almost luminous appearance. The composition fills the frame, highlighting fine details and natural patterns.

Photos from today's walk at the Seattle Japanese Garden (thread). I was quite taken with these red leaves, dangling by a bit of spiderweb in a way that made them look like they were falling.

#photography #PNW #autumn #FallColors #nature #red #31DaysOfHalloween #SeattleJapaneseGarden
Closeup of half a dozen red maple leaves, suspended mid-air by (near-invisible) spider web threads in a vertical line such that it looks almost like a composite image of a leaf tumbling down from the tree, twirling as it falls. Dark greenery blurry in the background.

“Aspen Canopy”

Looking straight up into a stand of aspens at peak color.

#EastCoastKin #Photography #ForestFriday #LandscapePhotography #Fujifilm
A color photograph taken from the forest floor looking straight up into tall aspen trees during autumn. The leaves form a dense canopy of gold and orange, with occasional greens remaining near the edges. Pale trunks rise and angle inward toward the center of the frame, converging against a patch of deep blue sky scattered with white clouds. Light filters through the leaves, creating subtle variations in brightness and hue. The image emphasizes symmetry, upward perspective, and the texture of the branches—a study in color, structure, and the season’s fleeting clarity.

Morning light races through the forest to greet the trees with its warmth. The foliage awakened in verdant vibrancy. Green glowing giants growing gradually, giving great gratitude gracefully.

“Creek Under Firs”

Slow exposure study of a mountain creek under fir and spruce. Wet rocks reflect soft morning light, and the current runs smooth through the forest shade.

#EastCoastKin #Photography #ForestFriday #LandscapePhotography #Fujifilm
A vertical color photograph of a mountain creek flowing through dense fir and spruce forest. The stream moves diagonally through the frame, its motion rendered silky by a long exposure. Rounded rocks, some wet and reflective, line the banks and bed of the stream. The surrounding trees rise straight and tall, their trunks warm brown against cool green needles. Sunlight filters faintly through the canopy, catching patches of lighter foliage in the background. The composition emphasizes texture—smooth water against rough stone and bark—and showcases balanced exposure control in low, shaded light.

View of multi-coloured multi-varietied autumn trees in a forest from the upper parking lot at Killarney Lake in Fredericton, New Brunswick in Canada. There are power lines running across the image in front of the trees. The gray of the sky, pavement and electrical transformers set off the colours of the trees and the leaves on the ground.
