I guess it was also a yellow(ish) weekend. Last batch of photos from my weekend trip to the Como Conservatory. #Flowers #Koi #Goldfish #Macro #MacroPhotography #BloomScrolling #StunDay #EastCoastKin #NoCoastKin

A small, maybe 1 inch, flower extends delicately from the stem, on background of light and stems

a large koi dominates the smaller koi around it

lots of white and yellow orchids extend from the top of the picture to the bottom in upside down pyramid like structure.

Welcome to the world, Mica – our newest Voi grandson! Mweya led her ex-orphan herd back to the stockades after an eight-month absence, with great pomp and ceremony. The reason for all the fanfare? Mbirikani had given birth to a beautiful little boy!

Misty morning miracle.
Good morning everyone, have a wonderful Sunday.
#Stunday #sunrise #photography

Capture of a misty morning sunrise, enveloped in a gentle golden haze that bathes the entire scene in warm light. The sun, just above the horizon, glows softly through layers of fog, creating a dreamy and tranquil atmosphere. Silhouetted trees stand quietly in the foreground, their shapes softened by the mist, while the outlines of rooftops and distant foliage fade into the background, enhancing the sense of depth and serenity. The image conveys a peaceful, almost ethereal quality, typical of quiet early mornings in the countryside.

It’s like a step back in time until the mist fades to blue sky …

An old world feel surrounds the trail as the mist starts to fade and blue skies take over.

#sunset #eastcoastkin #photography #nature #islandlife #westcoast #beauty #waves #ALTpoetry

The coastline carries a conversation, one between Ocean and Earth. An ancient and sacred language, spoken in sand and surf. Sunset shares its secrets, and whispers them through the clouds. They blush at the touch of the sunbeams, dressed in their golden shrouds.
