Colours of the Fall (2025-10-07)
A picture of bushes in fall foliage. The colors of the bushes go from bright red in the front to yellow in the back. A tree with mostly green and some yellowing leaves is growing from the middle of the bushes. The bushes are growing in the middle of a boulevard style road. In the background, there's a blue car slowing into traffic lights that are yellow, a red brick building, and a road sign for the highway to Helsinki. A landscape photo of trees in various shades of green and yellow. The furthermost trees are evergreens. Upper half is white and gray clouds. Photo of a highway on-ramp. White and gray clouds cover a roughly triangular portion from top-right to bottom-left. The other triangle contains red, yellow, and green trees. There's also a bus stop. A line of 6 maples photographed at an angle, the nearest is on the left and the furthest on the right. The nearest to the camera is still partially green, with mostly yellow leaves. The next 4 are in shades of orange, and the furthest is yellow. In the background there's a stand of evergreens with some yellowing birches in the mix. A line of stones creates a step aligning with the maples.

Stretching towards the sun #photography #liverwort
Liverwort flowers facing the sun, photographed from behind the flower. The pale violet leaves are slightly translucent, making them seem like they're almost glowing. The three bud leaves are clearly visible behind the flowers, with capillaries showing against the light. The bud leaves and the flower stalks have tiny hairs growing on them. The background is mostly a blur of last year's brown leaves. Liverwort flowers reaching towards the sun behind a fallen branch. Four of the flowers are partially closed, with the petals overlapping and creating a shadow pattern in the light shining through the flowers. Two are completely open and the white pistil stalks ending in an orb visible. The flower stems are light brown with hints of red, covered in thin hairs. The branch is highly textured with green algae growing on top of the brown bark. The background has liverwort leaves and there's some mulch in the foreground.

Bumbling about on hyacinths! #insect #bumblebee #photography
A bumblebee is gathering nectar from a blue hyacinth with its side facing the camera at a slight angle. The thorax is covered in dark orange hair. The abdomen has mostly black hairs, with a ring of white on the back end. The legs are covered in black hairs, with orange and yellow pollen stuck on them. The background is a blur of green hyacinth stalks. A bumblebee is climbing on a purple hyacinth, with its side towards the camera. The thorax is covered in orange fur, which seen through the wings almost looks golden. The abdomen has a rings of orange, black, and white, in that order front to back. The legs have black hairs, with some yellow pollen stuck on them. The background is cut in half at a diagonal from about 2/3rds on the bottom left to 2/3rds to the top right, with the hyacinth dominating the right side. The left side is a blur of yellow and some green in the middle, with some dark in the bottom corner. A bumblebee is hanging on a flower of a yellow hyacinth, with its side towards the camera. Its thorax is covered in hairs with a band of yellow in the front and black on the rest. The hairs on the abdomen are in stripes of black, yellow, black, and white, in that order front to back. The legs also have some black hairs, with yellow pollen stuck on it. Some harmless phoretic mites can be seen between the connection of head and thorax. The background is a blur of yellow hyacinths and their green stalk-like leaves.

Bees have awoken! #insect #bee #photography
A bee is hanging on a flower of a purple hyacinth, with its back towards the camera. Some yellow pollen is stuck to the hairs. The wings are partially lifted, and the abdomen is fully visible. Both back legs have a blob of wax on them, with the right-side leg showing more prominently due to posture. The hyacinth flowers dominate about 2/3rds of the background, with the remainder on the right being a blur of blacks and grays, with some tans and greens. A bee is standing on top of a bright yellow coltsfoot, at a slight angle so one of the compound eyes faces the camera. The bee's wings are shining brightly in the sunlight. The antennae are pointing towards the flower, and the hairs on its body have a random dusting of yellow pollen. There's a blob of orange beeswax on the back leg. The background is a blurry hash of dried grass. A purple hyacinth on the left side of the photo is mostly blurred by being too near the lens. A bee is hanging on one of the flowers, shadowed by the hyacinth inflorescence. The translucent wings cover parts of the bee's abdomen, and its antennae are pointing forward. A large blob of wax is on the back leg facing the camera. The background consists of blurry yellow and green mass, with some gray and black masses on the right edge of the photo.

Where kittens come from. #photography #catkins
A close-up of a willow branch with a catkin emerging from the bud. The catkin is formed of soft silvery white hairs. The bud cover is dark brown, almost black, with some fine white dust on it. The background is almost uniform light brown blur. A close-up of a willow branch with a catkin that has emerged from the bud. The catkin is formed of soft silvery white hairs. The dark brown bud cover got lifted off the branch and is resting on top of the catkin. This reveals the red and green core of the catkin connecting to the branch. Both the catkin hairs and the outer shell are covered in fine white dust. The background is blurry with hues of brown, green, and light blue. A close-up of a willow branch with three catkins. The catkins are formed of soft silvery white hairs. One of them is still emerging from the red and brown bud, two are completely open. The connection to the branch is almost like a flower, with tiny red petals and the fluffy white hairs in the middle of them. The background light blue with some green and brown blurs on it. An extreme close-up of a willow branch with a catkins. The catkins are formed of soft silvery white hairs. Most of the hairs are too close to the camera, with only the furthest hairs in focus. The sun light is reflecting from the tips of the hairs, causing rainbow-y lens flare effects near them. The background is blurry, with about third of the left in light blue and the rest in light brown.

Opening up. #photography
A close-up of a completely closed coltsfoot bud. The bud is purplish, with white strings crisscrossing between the browning outer leaves covering most of it. A blade of green and brown grass is extending over and behind the bud from top right to bottom left. Background is blurry, with green and brown grass blades. A close-up of a mostly closed coltsfoot bud. Long and slim yellow petals are starting to emerge from between the purple outer leaves. The outer leaves are covered in tiny gray particles. The background consists of mostly blurry green and brown grass blades. A close-up of a coltsfoot bud, about half-way open, photographed top-down. The long and slim yellow petals are blurry, the carpel and stamen inside the flower are in focus. The purplish outer leaves are only slightly visible outside the petals, and covered with gray particles. The background is blurry crisscross of dried brown grass, with tiny patches of green. A close-up of a fully open coltsfoot flower, photographed top-down. The long and slim petals are slightly curved so it forms a plate-like structure, with the carpel and stamen in the middle. The background is blurry with lines of light brown or gray grass on black or dark brown.

New leavings. #photography
Willow leaf buds. The top-most leaves are green, with small red dots on the edges and tips. The leaves below that are a gradient of red and orange, with small green, yellow, and white dots. The leaves below those are brighter red, with tiny white dots. There are also tiny white tendrils on the edges. The outer shell is brown, with darker brown lines from the tip to the base. The background is blurred, with some faint red and green hues. A close-up of a tiny sapling. The green leaves are covered in white fuzz, some almost completely white because of it. One of the leaves has a tip that is yellow, due to the vascular bundle peeking out. The background is blurry with splotches of pink and white, on black and green. A close-up of a tiny green sapling growing from between tiny mounds of green and brown moss. The leaves have tiny white hairs on them.

Remnants of last year. #photography
A year old, dried up maple seed that hasn't dropped from the tree. The light in the background shines through the blade of the wing, and you can see the vascular bundles as darker veins in it. A close-up of a year old, dried up oak leaf. The leaf is curled length-wise and the bottom is visible. The vascular bundles form visible ridges on the leaf. More dried oak leaves are extremely blurred in the background.

What a waste. #photography
A close-up of green moss. In the middle is a ball of fibery red material, some sort of yarn waste perhaps. The foreground and background are blurry.

Lichens can be pretty, too. #photography #lichen #yellow
A close-up of a patch of bright yellow lichen on a wet rock. It appears to be growing in the middle of a dead, gray lichen of the same type. A close-up of a patch of bright yellow lichen on a wet rock.

@jenmsft.bsky.social Hey, recently got around to installing 23H2 (well, mostly the OS decided I couldn't put it off any longer) and now my win+x shortcut doesn't work, any tips? Would prefer not to upgrade to 24H2 until it's got a bit more of the bugs ironed out. Build 22631.4751 if that's relevant.

@jenmsft.bsky.social Any chance of getting a taskbar that's on the side of the screen on W11? It's possible with a 3rd party app that returns the taskbar of W10, but modifying explorer.exe feels dangerous. Screens are mostly super wide, so there's plenty of room on the horizontal axis.
