Detail of the base of a Maple tree with grey green lichen on the bark at the top of the image and green moss growing around the base at the bottom of the image. Made with an 11 year old mirrorless camera and a manual focus 135mm telephoto from the 1970s or 80s. I've no idea how old the lens is, there's no makers name on it and I haven't been able to identify it.

It's springtime, and there is a lot of scary shit going on in the world.

Remember to enjoy the flowers.

A male Red-breasted Nuthatch on a pine tree branch with ice and snow caught in the pine needles. The background is shaded snow. The snow is acting as a giant reflector reflecting light under the branches and the bird. Photographed 17 years ago with a manual focus telephoto from the 1980s.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FeederFriends. A male Red-breasted Nuthatch waiting for a woodpecker to leave the suet feeder. Discovered this morning, more details in the alt text.

A black and white fine art portrait of a person posing topless amidst a natural, soft-focus background. The subject is depicted from the waist up, wearing an elaborate, rustic flower crown fashioned from wildflowers, grasses, and daisies. Small, dark decorative marks are applied to their cheeks just below the eyes. They hold a single pale flower close to their face with their right hand, while their left hand is positioned across their chest. Multiple bracelets and a simple necklace adorn their wrists and neck. The composition is a classic vertical portrait with a shallow depth of field, creating a dreamy "bokeh" effect in the foliage behind the subject. The lighting is soft and diffused, likely natural light, which emphasizes the smooth textures of the skin against the sharp, organic details of the floral headpiece. The subject’s gaze is directed slightly off-camera with a neutral, contemplative expression.

From the "Taniec Wiły" collection.
