Photograph taken using a macro setting of a Sedum Palmeri flower. Used my navy blue coat as a backdrop (keeping it real folks!).

Bright yellow flowers with pointed petals fan out from a spiked stamen centre. Leaves are a gentle lime and look slightly squidgy, as sedum leaves tend to!

A photograph of a pool of water within a river with large rocks. One rock is very large near the center of the image. There are mountains in the background. The sky is partly cloudy.

The photo shows a large leafless tree with sturdy, low-hanging limbs. The poem reads: many-armed giver/ reading seat and climbing frame:/ left to grow at will

Close up photo of a group of Cladonia podetia. Each podetium is light grey in colour and shaped roughly like a golf tee. The top/bowl of each podetium is ringed with numerous small, roundish bright red blobs. These blobs are called apothecia - they are reproductive, spore producing structures.

Aerial photo of my orchid in a black pot with sphagnum moss. It has a lot of aerial roots and currently 4 flower buds on its stalk that have been consistently growing for a few weeks. There is a small succulent in front of it and another orchid in a green pot to the left.

I've been so patiently waiting for these flowers to open. I hope they do 🤞🏽🤞🏽

I've also written 17.1K words! ✍🏽 Maybe if I write another 1000 at least one flower will make an appearance lol

White waves incoming on a black sand beach over some rocks. There is a weird yellow/orange light on the clouds in the distance (from snow showers) and on the horizon a couple of jagged peaks under cloud. Dark clouds in the distance. Long exposure so the water movement is smooth.

Snow storms bring some weird but amazing skies! It snowed just after this, taken just before sunset at Stokksnes earlier.

Deep snow covers the foot path that leafs away into the depths of the forest, the barren branches and foliage laden with wet, pristine snow

A view across a shaded lazy river to a small, isolated Buddhist shrine accessible only by boat against an impressive backdrop of karst stack formations and unevenly covered by thick vines of jungle. The humid air particles hang in the air as the sun dips behind the misty mountains towards the horizon

Clusters of white flowers, similar to dogwood, if not dogwood, with a star shape in the middle, and a spray of tiny black poppyseeds. The sky above is bright blue, and it shines through the petals and the leaves.
