"A White Rose

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips."

- John O'Reilly

A pristine white rose in full bloom with multiple layers of ruffled petals, displaying cream-colored tones in the center against a soft, blurred green background.

Evening settles in with color and calm.
The water’s rhythm offers a gentle invitation to rest, reflect, and begin again.

Good morning, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #spotted now that can mean when you have been spotted by your subject or a bird that has spots or blotches on it’s plumage. I was #spotted by a European Robin yesterday. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A European robin stands alert on a patch of mossy ground, facing directly toward the camera. Its vivid orange-red breast and face glow warmly in the sunlight, contrasting with its soft grey and brown plumage. Bright green blades of grass frame the foreground, while the background fades into a dark, softly blurred woodland scene.

This image shows a close-up of a white crab spider (likely Misumena vatia), perched on the edge of a yellow flower petal. The spider has long, slender legs that are splayed outward, typical of crab spiders, and a pale, smooth body that blends well with light-colored flowers. Its front legs are extended forward, as if ready to grasp prey. The background is dark green and softly blurred, creating a strong contrast that highlights the spider and the vibrant yellow petal it rests on.

Ruby Before the Sweetness

#Blackberry #UnripeFruit #NatureMacro #MacroPhotography #CloseUpNature #BotanicalBeauty #NaturePhotography #Photography #PhotoOfTheDay #WildDetails

A close-up photograph shows an unripe blackberry, each drupelet a rich, glossy red, forming a tight cluster at the tip of a slender stem. The berry’s surface shines softly under natural light, with fine textures visible on its smooth skin. The surrounding leaves are blurred in gentle green, drawing full focus to the vivid red fruit. This stage of ripening — before turning deep black — captures the berry’s brief, fiery moment between growth and sweetness. The watermark “©ahaktekin” appears at the lower left corner.

Good morning friends at Bluesky. It's Friday, a day full of expectations. The morning coffee is so good. Wishing you all the joy of life and the opportunity to rest in peace.

Moin, Bluesky 🦋.
Typisches Herbstwetter: Nebel und dafür schon 10 Grad. Löst er sich rechtzeitig auf, solls auf 20 rausgehen 🌞. Aber erstmal Kaffee ☕️. Der Katzenwecker schläft noch irgendwo im Haus 🐱.
Schönen Freutag und ab ins Weekend 👍 🇦🇹 👍.

Morning fog lifting over Waterbury Reservoir, Vermont.

#Fall #Autumn #NaturePhotography #Vermont #Eastcoastkin

A single maple tree stands near the edge of a calm reservoir, its remaining red leaves bright against the pale morning mist. Soft fog drifts low across the water, blurring the reflection of the opposite shore. Behind the haze, a wall of autumn trees glows with red, gold, and green against the cool blue sky. The grass in the foreground is damp and richly green, scattered with fallen leaves. Light from the rising sun warms the scene, turning the mist to silver and painting the tree’s branches with warmth.

Auf einem Waldweg mit Laubbäumen liegt vorne links ein Reisigbündel. Das Sonnenlicht fällt von links ein und erhellt sowohl den vor dem Bündel stehenden Baum als auch den Weg. Grünpflanzen und der Schattenwurf der Bäume befinden sich im vorderen Abschnitt des Waldweges.
