Thank you für viewing, faving and commenting!
Most of the time the photographer is not on it´s photos excepted selfies, mirrors, may be some reflections...
I like to play with my shadow - depending on the substrate the result can be very interesting I think!
Grows on well rotted wood in groups. Coral-like in form often running down the length of wood. Has a much tighter upright form compared to the other similar species.

Mosses are real plants with their stems and leaves. But they have no roots: they attach themselves to the substrate with so-called rhizoids. That surface can be very diverse. There are moss species that live on stones or roofs, others live on trees, dead wood, clay, sand or even under water.
Mosses have important functions in nature. There are species that bind drifting sand or prevent erosion. Moss can be an ideal place for other plants to germinate because it is nice and moist. Tiny animals can find a hiding place there.

Seahorses are fish that don't use their tails to swim - instead, they use them to hang on to the substrate. They like well-attached algae, seagrass and human structures like nets. This seahorse is hanging on to some algae next to the holdfast of a kelp plant. Its relatively long filaments make it blend with its surroundings particularly well... it was a tough one to find on our survey. Hippocampus whitei is listed at threatened.
Forgive me for repeating myself throughout each photograph but I'm not expecting you, the viewer, to look at each shot I have taken ... of course I would be delighted if you did.
I diagonally cut a small selection of white pieces of paper and fanned them out. What you see is the shots taken at various apertures, angles and direction of light. I found the simplicity effective and pleasing, I hope you do too? Thank you for taking the time to look at them.
A second drop collides with the so-called Worthington-jet produced by the impact of the initial drop with the water substrate. I'm novice at this technique - this is my first successful attempt.

Nothing like a nice talon soak to remove all that old rotten fish smell. Skamania Co, WA, 22 Nov 2020.
We are probably about 17 miles away from the Mournes peaks seen in this - dramatic to see so clear on the horizon.
We have had a very dry last 3 weeks so heather, gorse and dried out peaty substrate are susceptible to fire and such fires do happen during dry spells. But this one is extreme - I cant remember anything comparable to this so visible from my house

Paramonacanthus japonicus inhabits weedy and sandy areas of coastal reefs. This Japanese leatherjacket is found on open muddy substrates from shallow estuaries to deep offshore. The males elongate with age and these fish are monogamous.

Numenius americanus. Native to western North America and Central America. Long-billed curlews often feed in flocks. Using the long bill, an individual probes the mud or other substrate for suitable food, which consists of crabs and various other small invertebrates. Found in Bolivar Flats, an Audubon sanctuary, Bolivar peninsula, Texas.
Came across a LOAD of these growing on substrate, various stages, and sizes. Can't trace them in any of the fungi books. Any ideas?
Since we saw a Cattle Tyrant, a few more...From Wiki:
The WHMT captures most of its prey at the water's surface. Its next most commonly used foraging substrate is in the air, followed by live leaves. They tend to perch low on small marsh plants (less than 2 meters high) and attack their prey at a distance of 3 to 4 meters from their initial position. They typically target prey that is at or below their height while perched, and they less frequently attack at a high flight angle.[8] Once they catch their prey, they promptly return to their perch, as they are rarely found on the ground.
Both female and male marsh tyrants participate in feeding their juveniles. The main differences are that the female marsh tyrant hunts at greater distances and makes more frequent visits to the young compared to the male. Moreover, the female is more active in maintaining a sanitary environment for the nestlings.

Ingmar Bergman's iconic film from 1957. During the Black Death in Sweden, it tells of the journey of the medieval knight Antonius Block (Max von Sydow) and a game of chess he plays with the personification of Death (Bengt Ekerot) to gain some time.
Bengt Ekerot's Death makes a perfect b&w contact print substrate with way less exposure time needed compared to standard analog printing from a medium format negative. I think this one was 1.8 sec.
Block: Who are you?
Death: I am Death.
Block: Have you come for me?
Death: I have walked at your side for a long time now.
Block: That I know.
Death: Are you prepared?

Leafcutter ants can carry more than 20 times their body weight and cut and process fresh vegetation (leaves, flowers, and grasses) to serve as the nutritional substrate for their fungal cultivars.
Dacrymyces palmatus
Jelly is a bit of a misnomer, the texture is better described as Gummy Bears. They’re rubbery feeling when poked and prodded and definitely won’t spread on toast.
Commonly called Witch’s Butter but true Witch’s Butter is a different genus/species Tremella mesenterica. One way to tell the difference is the substrate they grow on. Witch’s Butter/hardwood — Orange Jelly/evergreen (hemlock, pine)
Both are edible if boiled. Often used to add some texture to soups

The rotifers (Rotifera, commonly called wheel animals) are microscopic and near-microscopic animals and they are an important part of the freshwater zooplankton, being a major foodsource and with many species also contributing to the decomposition of soil organic matter. Most rotifers are around 0.1–0.5 mm long (although their size can range from 50 μm to over 2 mm), and are common in freshwater environments throughout the world with a few saltwater species. Some rotifers are free swimming and truly planktonic, others move by inchworming along a substrate, and some are sessile, living inside tubes or gelatinous holdfasts that are attached to a substrate (Source: Wikipedia).
This is a stacked image, made by using a microscop and composed of 95 single photos. For any information about stacking technique, please see: (digital-photography-school.com/a-beginners-guide-to-focus...).
Rotifers are fast swimmers, so it stands to reason that it is impossible to make a stacked image of a living specimen. I had to use a fixated, i.e. dead specimen instead.
