A close up look at a Mother of Thousands plant. Each of those little buds will make a new plant when they drop off.
Back in the good old days
We used to be a brief candle
Now, we're just waiting at the bus stop
In the middle of the night after the last run finished
Being chased listlessly by human leftovers
Each part of ourselves vanishing
More and more into desolate dreams.
Our only friends are ghosts.
Oh, to be a candle yet again!

Since my macro lens no longer auto-focuses, I rarely set up the tripod for shots. Since this Mother of Thousands succulent was so stationary, I decided to have some macro fun with it...and a little sliding to boot.
While taking photos of the Bat Flower, I tried a few shots lit with my red pocket flashlight. After juicing it up in post, I offer this for SlidersSunday... :)
Taking a break from SL. I will be wandering around here in the RL looking at things like this for a little bit. See ya soon!
I love nature and I love where I live in Australia. :)
A bit early for my dentist appointment, I stopped by my favorite drainage ditch to kill a few minutes.
After parking my truck at the edge of a parking lot, I saw this as I got out of the truck. Luckily I had my camera with me and they were kind enough to not waddle away... :)

dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides)
= Urweltmammutbaum / Wasserlärche in German
This is a blend of two images in post (overlayed):
The branches of a dawn redwood (main image / foreground) were taken with the manual vintage Meyer-Optik Görlitz Oreston 50mm f/1.8; that's also where the bokeh balls come from. And a frame filling macro with leaf veins, blended in as background.
Today, March 21, is International Day of Forests, so I thought this was the right time to finally upload this image
I hope you are all well ... Happy Springtime ... and be kind to nature 💚
I'm still revisiting that stormy August day from 2012 at Lake Martin, Louisiana. I'll be posting some more that I'm re-editing, but I'll leave the old edits up for comparison.
If you want to see them side by side, visit my album, Lake Martin, Louisiana.
Spring, where are you?
Danke für die netten Kommentare zum Blümchenbild :)
Frohe Ostern!
Happy Easter!
In this last shot of the day, I switched to a longer lens so that I could fill the frame with that golden light.
Life was good that day.
Caught this frame at Bempton Cliffs as the colony was in full swing. What fascinates me most about Northern Gannets is the sheer coordination—or sometimes the lack thereof—during a sea-cliff approach. As one bird glides in with wings perfectly spread, the birds on the ledge act like a ground crew, tracking its trajectory with sky-pointing bills.
Getting the exposure right on those brilliant white feathers against the dark North Sea is always a brilliant challenge. Pure field craft, patience, and waiting for that perfect split-second alignment.
Captured straight-out-of-the-camera with tracking focus. No AI, no digital manipulation—just raw nature as it happened.
Happy Sliders Sunday!

Haven't had much time for shooting lately...involved with house repairs. Here's another early morning shot from the horse pond that's just down the road from my house.
Have a great weekend, all!
Our Taiwanese Cherry Tree usually blooms twice, here in Louisiana. We almost always get a false start of Spring, with temps in the 80's, followed by at least a couple of light freezes that kill everything off...then Spring arrives.
This ornamental cherry tree is usually the first to bloom, but then blooms again (usually) later on.
