Otokomi Lake, in Glacier National Park. Despite the sunlight and apparent calmness of its waters, a storm is moving in from the east. Montana, August 2025.

Otokomi Lake, in Glacier National Park. Despite the apparent calmness of its waters, a storm is moving in from the east. The water is very transparent and reflects the sky, clouds, mountains and trees. Near the camera there is a natural dike made of tree trunks.

#Autumn in Saint-Nicolas 🍂
#Scape #Landscape
#ForestFriday #Trees
#Mountain #Alps
Saint-Nicolas is a village in the Aosta Valley at 1200m above sea level with a population of 332 people. The image shows a forest with trees in typical autumn colors, with leaves ranging from green to deep yellow. In the background, a snow-capped mountain and the village bell tower stand under a partly cloudy sky. A green meadow in the foreground contrasts with the warmer colors of the forest.

A full Hunter's Moon glows golden-yellow in a deep blue twilight sky above silhouetted pine trees in East Bay, N. California. A modern street lamp stands in the foreground, its geometric light creating a visual dialogue with the ancient celestial body above. October 6, 2025

I’m out in the garden collecting seeds before this storm rolls in. The temperature is supposed to drop this week, but as of today I’m still seeing monarchs here in New York. #bugsky #bloomscrolling #gardening #butterfly #zinnia #catskills

Having a patient who is Colombian really motivates me to go back to some of my photos from my March trip!

Hummingbirds in Colombia not only have iridescent gorgets. They also have iridescent tails 🤯

136 years ago, on the 6th of October 1889, the Jardin de Paris, now known as the Moulin Rouge, opened at the foot of Montmartre. The intention was to attract rich customers to the fashionable yet poor district. The Moulin Rouge is known, among other things, for the Can-can. #history #otd 🗃️

Goth band album cover.

Groove-billed Anis are fabulous birds. A type of cuckoo, this species lives in social groups of up to 10 birds and they collectively guard their territory and even share a nest together!

These birds were taking a break today at @tapirvalley.bsky.social to groom each other.
Five black birds perch closely together on a branch, their glossy feathers and long tails standing out against a blurred green forest background.

Everybody thinks they're a photography expert now. I put my camera down for a minute and this mantis has to go and change my settings on me.

Honey bees still enjoying the starry, pink Sedum #flowers on an autumn day. #DailyBotanicalBeauty #photography #bees
Collage of close-up photos showing honeybees feeding on clusters of vivid pink-red Sedum flowers. The images capture the bees’ golden, fuzzy bodies among the star-shaped blossoms, with softly blurred backgrounds in pink and green tones.
