A single purple tulip in the foreground. In the background and out of focus are a number of red/orange/yellow tulips. On the left are yellow, white and mauve colours of other flowers, also out of focus.
Ladybird sat on a clematis bud. There are more clematis buds and leaves surrounding. The ladybird is a shiny red bug with black spots.

The new beech leaves are lovely to see too.

Closeup of a purple passion flower. The flower has multiple layers. Working from bottom to top, The bottom most layer consists of purple petals and purple sepals which look similar, but the sepals have a more rounded tip while the petals have a sharper tip. There are five petals and five sepals which alternate (petal, sepal, petal, sepal, etc). The next layer is the corona which contains thin, squiggly radial filaments, also purple that go from a dark purple in the center of the flower to pale purple at the end of the filaments. Out of the center of the flower rises the ovary from which five pale yellow anthers that look like narrow coffee beans grow. On top of that layer are three stigmas, a pale blend of pale yellow and lavender. There is one unopened passion flower at the top of the image. The background are green leaves.

Walking down along the river to a big glacial lake in the mountains. Trees run right down to the water and it's big enough to form a little beach. On a beautiful Spring day it's quite a sight.
At the edge of the Lough.

A stream in woodland.. tall trees either side… it’s early spring and new new leaves are budding.. some trees are covered in ivy… the sky is blue and sunlight is coming through the trees making dark shadows on the ground and across the water
Good morning and happy Tuesday, Bluesky 🦋

A sturdy tree with rough, cracked bark and widely spreading, branching limbs that stand out against a clear, deep-blue sky. Fine, sparse leaves are scattered along the branches. The sun shines on the thick trunk. The view is from the bottom looking up.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Petals&Perches, any bird with flowers in capture. Well, the flowers are nowhere near open, but if this #bird doesn’t mind then neither should any of us.

Una formación rocosa en la ciudad encantada, en Cuenca. Un mesa rectangular y formando un arco sobre ella un puente muy erosionado.

A esta formación rocosa le llaman “el puente romano”, pero a mi me recuerda más a un muslo de pollo.
This rock formation is called "the Roman bridge", but to me it looks more like a chicken leg.

PHOTO by Darwis Alwan. Tall, slender trees rise through a dense mist in a quiet forest. Their trunks are dark and speckled, twisting gently as they stretch toward a pale sky veiled in fog. At ground level, vibrant green grasses and broad-leaved plants create a lush underlayer, damp with moisture. The scene feels suspended in stillness, as if time has slowed to a hush beneath the canopy of silent trees.
In the forest, time is irrelevant. Life is measured in cycles, not seconds.
Close-up of forget-me-nots in bloom, their small five-petalled blue flowers with yellow centres forming a natural heart-shaped cluster among soft green foliage, photographed in spring in a garden.
Each year when the forget-me-nots open their blue flowers, I find myself searching for a heart-shaped cluster. I photographed this perfect little heart in my late mother’s garden, a lovely reminder of her. Perhaps you might spot one too this spring, a reminder of someone special?
