In the picture, a common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) can be seen sitting on a bare branch of a tree. The kestrel is looking to the right of the image. The bird's plumage is reddish-brown with dark spots on its back, and its head is gray. The sky in the background is bright blue.

A birdseye view of lots of trees with variable colors of fall foliage from green yellow, orange, and red. Beyond the trees is blue and seafoam colored Lake Michigan, and a strip of blue sky above it. In the top left corner is a branch with a sparse amount of leaves. This view can be seen along (or just past, not sure) Michigan Highway 119 (M-119) along the Tunnel of Trees Scenic Heritage Route.

No window this time 😂 I'm an absolute outdoor person and mostly outside.
It was a lucky shot; this kestrel really wanted to be photographed by me 🤷😂

Thanks as always, dear Alan 🫶

Good evening and good night,BlueSky A peaceful pair of Canadian Geese in the shallows one posing like a pro,the other focused on personal grooming.
Photographed on a Canon EOS R50

The picture shows two Canadian geese resting in shallow water. The goose in the foreground faces the camera, displaying its white chinstrap and brown-and-white plumage. The second goose, slightly behind, is grooming its feathers with its head tucked back, revealing its black neck and white underbelly. The calm, greenish water reflects their forms, creating a serene natural scene.

A cluster of crimson roses catches the sunlight, standing vivid before the softly blurred dome of the Khoja Ahmad Yassavi Mosque beneath a clear blue sky.

In moments like this, nature reminds us how small we truly are — and how fragile the illusion of control has always been.

A powerful, wide waterfall cascades with immense force over a rocky cliff - the Dettifoss in northern Iceland. In the foreground, a group of small human figures stands on a grassy ledge, dwarfed by the roaring wall of water in front of them. The black-and-white composition emphasizes the contrast between the textured flow of the falls and the stillness of the onlookers, highlighting both the raw power of nature and the humility of human presence.
