A close-up photograph of several round camellia flower buds nestled among glossy, dark green leaves. One bud has begun to bloom, revealing tightly layered, pale pink petals adorned with tiny, glistening water droplets. The background consists of a soft-focus blur of more green foliage, highlighting the delicate texture of the opening flower.

It’s an older picture, sir, but it checks out.

The are mushrooms grow from a short thick stem and have a slightly flattened spherical shape. The mushrooms are an off-white color with a darkened center on top. The mushrooms have prickly texture.

A sharp macro photograph taken in the Big Thicket National Preserve. A single, vibrant crimson leaf with dark, weathered splotches is cradled horizontally between several thin, vertical green stalks of river cane. The leaf’s deep red hue provides a stark, dramatic contrast against the soft, out-of-focus green foliage of the forest background. The delicate way the leaf is suspended in the undergrowth, captures a quiet, singular moment on the forest floor.

“A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands;
How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he.
I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green stuff woven.”
— Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

Black and white photo of a tree stump's roots growing wildly over some massive boulders right next to a creek.

The trees are coming and taking over... massive roots among these rocks.

Marina di Pisa is full of stones, rocks, and pebbles, and quite fun to photograph with your favorite wide-angle lens. I made do that day with a kit lens. …beautiful low-traffic beach! #blueskyartshow #stone #eck #marinadipisa #landscapephotography #fineartphotography #beach

Exterior view of the old Aldridge Sawmill in the Angelina National Forest - East Texas, showing a tall concrete ruin rising out of the woods, its lower walls covered in colorful graffiti while vines, moss, and trees press in around the structure.

A wide, atmospheric shot of the skeletal remains of the Aldridge Sawmill in the Angelina National Forest. Old concrete walls are being peeled away by massive vines, and young trees grow directly through the collapsed roof. It is a literal industrial Ouroboros

Interior wall at the old Aldridge Sawmill in East Texas, covered in layered graffiti and opening through a broken doorway into the woods, with bare ground, stained concrete, and a large tree rooted against the far wall.

Close view at the old Aldridge Sawmill in East Texas of a rough concrete wall with faded graffiti and an empty window frame, looking through to another weathered wall streaked with moss and light.

What was built in defiance of nature now answers to time. Mother nature has a long memory🌿. The Forest Abides.

Thank you so much. I love your hashtag Forest Friday. Pretty much that’s the only thing I take pictures of are forests and the things inside them. Thank you for your nice words and for creating and moderating Forest Friday.

Monochrome photograph of the support structure of a walkway taken at the side of a river. Horizontal and vertical wooden beams create squares with a brick wall on the right. We are looking across these squares which form a concentric effect and seem to fit inside eachother, even though we know they are the same size.

The smaller squares, are just further away
