You can see two flamingos searching for food in the shallow water. The one in front is white and black with dark legs and beak, the second is white and pink with pink legs. It has its pink beak in the water. In the background, you can see the neck of a third flamingo.

The sky is struggling to decide the fate of the day.. could there be a storm, could the Sun win … The cloud activity is overhead a very still waterway surrounded by golden grasses.

The clouds are draping and deciding atop the landscape 📷🕊️ …

A day at the wetlands near sunset. A large tree is on the right among grasses. Water runs between the tree and mountains.

The bend in the river has the crimson sun waffling through the mist as dormant greenery is dusted with frost enhancing its details. The water is is calm and is reflecting as much of the world above as it can.

Everything awakens with the Suns’ encouragement 📷🕊️ …

A house and other buildings near hills in a field. Tall grasses fill the foreground with a tree on the left near a house. Other buildings reach to the right. The hills are close behind the buildings.

Fog Fence Farm #Stunday

Yesterday was such a great day for late winter fog.

A curved tree reaches over still water while fog softens trees in the background.

A color photo of a very large and wide pink flower. I am holding the branch down a bit to take the picture, so a part of an arm with a gray and white striped shirt on. Photo by me on my Android camera phone

Look! This Magnolia flower is the size of a dinner plate.

A dramatic, high-contrast black and white photograph of a long hotel corridor in Lanzarote. On the left, a repetitive line of tall glass doors allows bright sunlight to stream in, casting a series of sharp, parallel horizontal shadows across the dark, tiled floor. The floor tiles are laid in a diamond pattern, and the perspective of the narrow hallway leads the eye toward a dark, shadowed area at the far end. The interplay of light and deep shadow creates a striking, rhythmic geometric effect throughout the interior. Tech details: Apple iPhone 15 26mm 1/500 sec @ f/1.6 ISO 50 Processed in Snapseed

I flew in yesterday and was hoping to get this shot as I’d done something similar here before. Thankfully it worked.

There are two magpies visible in the image.The birds are in a tree with numerous bare, intricate branches. The background is a bright, clear blue sky.One magpie is located in the upper left portion of the image, while the second is positioned in the lower left section.

This moment, frozen, framed, in time,
takes on the epic stature
of a metaphor, a myth:
what of the previous second
in our passing time? What
of the next second?
Where have those birds come from,
where may they go next? 🖤🖤
-Michael Shepherd

A sunset by the river with puddles in the foreground, trees and the river in the middle and mountains in the background.

“There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.”
— Jo Walton

Happy forest ferns lean into the surrounding moss covered woods. There's not much light today but no matter, the forest glows with breath & internal light. Endless, it seems....as far as the eye can see. There is no competition, no ego, no dominance. Hard to believe this is everyday for these ancient trees...ah, to be a tree in the woods, untouched by man, breathing

Sometimes I stop in the middle of the middle
Peace lives there
Birds singing, joyfully happy to be alive
Squirrels teasing each other, such rascals
The air is sweet
Troubles that haunt each day fade to nothing
and...
For a moment, there is only communion🕊️
