Estany d'Ivars i Vilasana a l'alba. Un ocell persistentment rau sobre una branca que emergeix de l'aigua. L'he retratat cent cops. Sembla que esperi la meva visita.

A vibrant, fully opened streaky orange and yellow tulip in my sunny garden. The tulip in planted close to a lupine plant and it's fan-like leaves are the background.

Rising up straight to the top
Has the guts got the glory..

Somehow this tulip in my front garden reminds me of The Eye Of A Tiger song! Ha.

Close-up of bright magenta-purple flowers of honesty (Lunaria annua) in sunlight, with soft green background blur. A hoverfly—likely a pied hoverfly (Scaeva pyrastri), showing a black body with pale yellow comma-shaped spots and clear veined wings—rests on one of the petals, feeding at the flower’s centre.

So guys been out hiking all day and I’m shattered. Going to grab a bite to eat and chill. 😎 Please enjoy what’s left of your day and see you all tomorrow. Here’s a snap from my garden a short time ago. #photography #ColorADay #PinkMon #MacroMonday #ECK

My tall pink lilac tree is leafing and blooming.
The flowers are mostly high up against the blue sky.  When the flowers are done the petals drops down slowly like rain in the breeze.

Cos tonight for the very first time
Just abt half past 5
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men ...ha.

The Burgundy with white tipped petals of the Tulips are feeling the after effects of a heavy rain visit.  Still laying and presenting beautifully amongst its foliage.

A path through the forest of Dean captured in black and white. The path is muddy and wet, glistening under the dappled light of the sun.

Follow the path.

And when you reach the end, have a good night. 😉

An owl perched on a branch, within a tangle of branches. The owl's body is turned slightly right of the camera, while the head is turned slightly to the left. The owl's breast and belly are white with brown streaks. The shoulders and head are brown with white dots. The beak, which is small and tucked in, is yellow. The visible eye is yellow with a large black pupil. The in-focus branches are gray, but with small splotches of yellow lichen.

A Northern pygmy-owl in Cienega Canyon, in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico, on April 20, 2026. In the words of the birder who pointed it out to me, it's the size "of a Coke can."

Eine Pelzbiene sitzt auf einer magentafarbenen Blüte.
Der Körper der Pelzbiene ist dicht behaart und zeigt helle sowie dunkle Farbtöne. Die Blütenblätter sind kräftig magenta und bilden einen auffälligen Kontrast zum grünlich verschwommenen Hintergrund. Die Pelzbiene hält sich mit den Vorderbeinen an den Blüten fest und ihr Kopf ist in Richtung Blütenmitte geneigt.

Here’s a VERY LATE response to today’s #Turdidae (Thrush) theme. Thanks to the #BirdOfTheDay dudes for including education in their mission 😊

Oh, yeah. This is a lady #EasternBluebird perched in a tree nook on a recent morning.

A bee flying right near the purple flowers of a Mexican sage bush. The long, thin bundle of fuzzy flowers goes from the bottom right corner, curves up to the top, then dips back down. The background is blurred green leaves with a little bit of purple flowers.

"It's a bee"

The only bee shot I got that was not massively blurred the other day, and that includes perfectly still bees. I don't have a macro lens.

My photo of a falling bloom from my red Amaryllis Mandela in this morning's sunlight. It no longer stands tall but is now declining, falling forward as it ends its bloom cycle for this season.

At the end of its bloom cycle,a final bow in this morning's sunlight, having given all its loveliness for this season. THIS is a last look at a bloom from my Amaryllis Mandela as it fades away. ❤️🌱🌿🍃
