Dried, sunbleached asters after a long winter. A boulder, partial view of the base of a tree trunk and wet brown leaves are bokeh in the background. The white flowers against the darkness of the background make them seem like twinkling stars. The name Aster means star.

The developing fruits of the staghorn sumac tree on bare winter branches with more branches bokeh in the background, and the light blue sky behind them. The fruits (or drupes) appear as rounded clusters of small, bright red, hairy balls. The hairs are blonde in appearance.

This image shows a closeup of what I believe is a lily (not sure of the variety) with white petals streaked with pink and green. Some hint of the pistil and stamens can be seen in the center of the flower. Almost all of the flower is in focus, but other, out-of-focus leaves can be seen in the dark background. In particular a dark green, red-veined leaf or two can be seen in the lower left corner.
It's #MacroMonday, time for another flower from Allan Gardens. This time it's a lily (or so I think!) with white petals streaked with pink and green.

Close-up focus on the multicoloured and patterned lip of a phalaenopsis orchid. The white column pokes out above, and the deep wine and magenta galaxy patterned sepal and petals are partially visible above. The backs of yellow petals with wine speckled and hot pink edges are bokeh below in the background, with the green stem curving off frame to the right.

Standing under a volcanic cliff overhang, looking out at a waterfall coming down on the right, a pool of water below, deep green vegetation and Douglas fir forest mostly in the shade, except for the area directly across from where I’m standing, which shows a pocket of blue sky and sunlit forest.

Two orange tulips in a blue vase against a textured white wall with their shadows looking like a couple posing for a photo. The tulip leaves are bending in front with some behind shooting straight up. The vase has flowers looking drawn with brass. The shadow bulbs are circular instead of tulip shaped.

A cluster of three yellow crocuses speckled with water droplets appears in the center of the image. The frontmost crocus is in full focus, while the back two are progressively more out of focus due to shallow depth of field. Deep green leaves grow between the flowers, which are surrounded by small dark stones. There is particular contrast between two hard stones at the bottom of the frame and the softer, colorful flowers that grow behind them.
Finally, spring! Crocuses, Norwich VT, March 2026

Close-up of the center of a pinkish red rose. A tiny petal in the center of the crown-like ring of golden stamens looks like a tiny tongue licking the tip of another small petal outside the ring but bent over it. The larger petals in the fairgrounds are curling and wavy, almost like a splash.

Black and white image focused on an azalea bloom with another bokeh to left behind it so that the waves of their petals flow into each other showing the dancing gestures of the petals. The speckled interior of the bloom is just visible. The plant is in a pot on a shelf with foliage behind above it.

A spectacular sunrise over the Willamette Valley. The sun is just peeking over the Cascades on the lower right horizon. Tall Douglas fir trees are silhouetted on the right and left edges. Mt. Hood’s conical silhouette also peeks out on the lower left. But the sky is the real show. It’s deep blue on the top, and the sun has turned ragged clouds to shades of vibrant gold against the blue and purple of the darker clouds. Oh, the drama! The spectacle!

A spectacular star magnolia blossom is one of the first to open on this tree. The petals are mostly white on the upper side, but they tie pinkish on the edges. The undersides of the petals are mostly a deep, magenta pink. In the background, lots of unopened buds are getting ready to open against a deep blue sky.
The star magnolias are out of control, and I love it. #Sunday #StunDay #BloomScrolling #Magnolias #PNW #NatureIsArt #Trees #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp

A stick covered in a sort of tube lichen lies on the mossy forest floor. The moss has fluffy green fingers reaching toward the pale sea-green collection of tubes that give way to varying sizes of caramel-colored cup-like reproductive structures.

Golden, sunlit water in a creek flows over a stone, making squiggly, warm-colored ripples from bright gold to dark brown across the face of the stone, which has one orange stripe in the back that is probably a feature of the stone itself.

Close-up of a couple of deep purple and warm yellow dwarf iris. The stripey brushstroke of yellow along the center of the petal is in focus, as is a puddle of melted ice balanced on the petal next to it. The brushstroke is bending toward the puddle.

Sunlight filters down through the boughs of some giant redwoods, illuminating a couple of baby trees in the lower left center of the picture. The scene is a gorgeous deep green with boughs and moss and undergrowth, with the dark reddish brown of the redwood especially visible in one giant towering out of the left edge of the photo. The other tree trunks are backlit, and therefore, mostly silhouettes.

A row of orange poppies descending towards the background. There's a poppy seed pod with hairy stem in detail angled in front of the closest poppy in the foreground that has light coming through some of its delicate wavy petals, the dark center stamens are visible.
