These delicate cyclamens growing directly from the harsh karst rock remind me that beauty is often found in the most unlikely places. A moment of quiet resilience on Krk. 🌸🪨

Red-breasted merganser with a very watchful eye
Snapped this at the Museum of Science & Industry South Lot last week. He looks skeptical, and honestly, that's a big mood.

A black and white studio portrait of an individual facing directly toward the camera, centered against a seamless, uniform mid-tone gray background. The subject maintains a steady, neutral gaze straight into the lens. They have long, straight hair parted precisely in the middle. Framing the face and head is a voluminous, dark feather boa that acts almost like a hood, draping heavily down both shoulders and across the torso. The dense, spiky texture of the deep black feathers creates a stark visual contrast against the smooth, luminous gray tones of the subject's skin. The lighting is soft and frontal, as indicated by the catchlights in the eyes, illuminating the face evenly with minimal harsh shadows. Subtle shading defines the cheekbones, the jawline, and the space beneath the lower lip. Around the neck, the subject wears an intricate, dark lace choker adorned with a central dark gem and delicate dangling elements. The subject is bare-chested beneath the prop, with the heavy feather wrap arranged asymmetrically across the torso, leaving the right breast (on the viewer's left) exposed. The composition relies heavily on the central symmetry of the face, which is intentionally broken by the chaotic, organic lines of the feathers and the asymmetrical draping.
"Scarf out of black feathers".

A detailed close-up photograph of a White-crowned Sparrow, a small, grey-bodied bird, perched on a textured, dark woody branch with peeling bark. The sparrow is holding itself upright and looking slightly to the right with its small, dark eye, facing towards the viewer. The most distinctive feature is its head, which has striking, sharp black and white longitudinal stripes forming its crown and brow: a central white stripe, bordered by black, with a broader white stripe above the eye, all meeting at the back of the head. The rest of its face, neck, and breast are a clean, uniform light grey. It has a small, yellowish-orange conical bill. Its back and wings show a detailed pattern of brown, white, and grey feathers, with two prominent white wing bars on the folded wing. The bird's body is plump and grey, leading to a moderately long, brownish-grey tail. Its small, pinkish-brown legs are visible, gripping the branch with fine claws. The background is a soft, out-of-focus (bokeh) collection of natural garden elements, including various green leaves of different shades, a large dark tree trunk on the right, and other blurred branches, creating a natural and tranquil setting. In the lower-left foreground, there are some blurry green leaves and a small cluster of indistinct yellowish-green buds. The lighting is natural, diffused daylight, evenly illuminating the bird's feathers. The focus is sharp on the bird, particularly its head and body, making it stand out from the background.
A pair of mallard ducks stands side-by-side on a light-grey stone paver path. The female duck on the left is entirely covered in mottled brown and beige plumage, with an orange bill and feet, and faces left. The male duck on the right has an iridescent green head, a white neck ring, a chestnut chest, grey wings, and a pale yellow bill. Both have bright orange webbed feet. Behind them is a weathered light-wood picket fence with green bushes and darker rocks blurred in the distance under natural daylight.
Got a nice pic of a White-crowned Sparrow today, and tried to make friends with these Mallard ducks. They let me get close without flying away so it seems like they trust me a little more now. Maybe I’ll try wading into the pool like Tony Soprano someday. Nope. 🥶 #Birds #Nature #Sonoma #CanonR7
