You can see a small lake reflecting the blue sky and clouds. In the foreground, you can see dark branches of a bare winter tree reaching down to the water.

In shallow water...

You can see lots of seagulls standing in the shallow water looking for food. They are reflected in the water. There are a few pieces of wood in the water with birds standing on them. The photo was taken on an overcast day, so the water surface looks very grey.

dit koolmeesje komt elke dag
bij mij op het balkon om te eten

hij zit erg ruig in zijn verenpak
en vindt het moeilijk om aan de
voedersilo te hangen om te
eten
of het een met het ander te
maken heeft 🤷‍♀️

fijne avond 💛🖤

The flower known as laceleaf, shot with shallow depth of field so only the tip of the spadix is in focus. It is a white laceleaf, set upon soft green background

#WinterRobin
Rob's #BirdOfTheDay today is #Paddling, birds standing in water, the Alt is #Robins, please use #ForJanet hashtag if posting a Robin.
Here's a grumpy looking Robin - not happy with the pitiful amount of mealworms I left him ☹️
#ukwildlife #birds #robin #nature #photography #eastcoastkin
A close up of a European Robin perched on the top of a wooden fence post. It has a somewhat grumpy expression. Taken just up from the lakeshore at Keswick, Cumbria, England. It is in a forward facing profile with its feathers fluffed up. It has an orange-red face and breast, dark eyes, short and thin bill, brown cap and upper feathers, a white-grey body and skinny dark pink-brown legs. The background is blurred with green holly leaves.

El Jilguero lúgano (Spinus spinus) es un ave migratoria , en invierno baja del norte de Europa hasta el sur, recorriendo miles de kilómetros. Su dieta se basa casi por completo en semillas. Le encantan las de aliso , tanto que su presencia suele coincidir con la presencia de estos árboles

'Melancholic Moisture'

A cosmic display created by morning dew on a spider web.

Wishing all my #Bluesky friends a fab #StunDay!

Sparty 🙏🏼🖤🤍

This monochrome image captures a moody, close-up scene of common ivy (Hedera helix) leaves interwoven with a delicate, dew-covered spider web. The composition is dense and layered, creating a sense of natural complexity and quiet mystery. The primary focus is the foliage and the intricate web that stretches across it. The ivy leaves are characteristic of the juvenile form, displaying three to five distinct triangular lobes. Their surfaces appear leathery and slightly glossy, with prominent pale veins that create a skeletal pattern against the darker leaf bodies. Clinging to these leaves is a fine, chaotic spider web. Unlike a perfect orb web, this is a more irregular, sheet-like structure, likely created by a funnel-web or lace-web spider. Thousands of tiny, spherical water droplets are suspended in the silk. These droplets act as miniature lenses, catching the light and creating a shimmering, beaded effect that contrasts with the dark, matte background of the leaves. The image uses a dark, low-key lighting style. Deep shadows dominate the recesses between the leaves, while a soft, directional light source illuminates the top-most surfaces. This highlighting emphasises the physical textures: the waxy cuticle of the ivy, the roughness of a woody stem cutting diagonally across the frame, and the crystalline clarity of the water droplets. The black-and-white treatment strips away colour to focus purely on form, contrast, and the ethereal beauty of the dewy silk. The overall mood is one of stillness and dampness, evocative of a cool morning in a shaded forest floor. It captures a fleeting moment where the fragile architecture of the spider's work is made visible by the weight of the moisture.

A vertical photograph captures a serene landscape under a brilliant blue sky, showcasing a modern reflecting pool in the foreground that mirrors the dramatic natural beauty surrounding it. The composition is dominated by the stark contrast between the man-made elements and the rugged hill that looms in the background. The immediate foreground features a paved walkway made of grey, interlocking bricks, leading the eye towards the edge of a large, dark reflecting pool. The concrete coping of the pool, with its clean, angular lines, cuts diagonally across the lower third of the frame. The water itself is a deep, almost black, blue, acting as a flawless mirror for the sky above. Wispy white clouds streak across the water's surface, their reflection a lighter, ethereal version of the clouds in the sky. Beyond the pool, a well-maintained green lawn provides a soft transition to a line of deciduous trees. These trees are winter bare, their intricate networks of branches reaching upwards. Interspersed among them are a few clusters of dark green evergreen trees, adding texture and depth to the midground. To the far left, a glimpse of a parking area with a few vehicles is visible, subtly indicating the proximity of civilisation. The background is dominated by a massive, grassy hill that slopes dramatically upwards, filling the upper right portion of the image. The hill's surface is a mosaic of green and brown tones, textured with outcrops of rock and sparse vegetation. The sunlight illuminates the hillside, highlighting its rugged contours. The sky is a vibrant, saturated blue, a perfect backdrop for the dynamic cloud formation. A single, bright white cloud stretches vertically across the upper center of the frame, appearing almost like a plume of smoke or a brushstroke in the sky. The lighting is harsh and bright, casting strong shadows and enhancing the saturation of the colours, particularly the deep blue of the water & sky, and the greens of the grass and hillside.

A great blue heron fishes in the reflection of a concrete plant during dusk at Izaak Walton Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado. In this color vertical photograph one sees the pond with a concrete factory reflected in most of water. In the foreground is reeds. Besides the concrete plant the trees on the opposite side of the pond are reflected. A great blue heron sticks out in the reflection of the cream colored 5-story plant. A covered conveyor belt runs from the top of the building at an angle towards the ground (in the photograph, since it is a reflection, it is opposite). Photo by Kort Duce
