15 minutes before sunrise I arrived at the viewpoint of Cloef. With a friendly " :) moin, I already missed something?" I came around the corner.
All were very quiet and focused at work, the mood was good and only the shutters of the cameras were heard.
A lovely day - stood under this oak and was struck by its beauty. It's one of the last trees to lose its leaves. Oak trees lose and grow their leaves at slightly differing times to help the species survive. Clever, aren't they?

Photograph taken at 04.08am on a beautiful Springtime morning in the Golden hour around sunrise (Sunrise was at precisely 05.48am), at an altitude of Thirty metres on Wednesday 22nd April 2020, off North Cray Road within Foots Cray Meadows in Bexley, Kent.
After weeks of self isolation due to the global pandemic that we know as COVID-19 Coronavirus, we are allowed to go out for exercise once per day and keep away from others. A walk in the misty meadows today to taste the fresh air and get my limbs moving again.

Study of Light #2
Title Bending light when it passes through water. Why does it bend? Better ask a bloke called Snell (or Willebrord Snellius as he's know by amongst his mates), because it was his idea, and now it's become a law!
Image: An underwater shot of the very-bright sunlight coming through the tree-canopy as it illuminates the bottom of a pool. The water was crystal-clear, and the bend of the rays can be seen here... or that might be wide-angle lens distortion maybe?!

The eucalypti grow rapidly, and many species attain great height. Eucalyptus wood is extensively used as fuel, and the timber is commonly used in buildings and fencing. There are more than 700 species of eucalyptus and most are native to Australia. Species of eucalyptus are cultivated widely in the tropical and temperate world, including the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, the Middle East, China, and the Indian subcontinent. However, the range over which many eucalypts can be planted in the temperate zone is constrained by their limited cold tolerance.
The Blue Mountains of southeastern Australia have been a centre of eucalypt diversification; their name is in reference to the blue haze prevalent in the area, believed derived from the volatile terpenoids emitted by these trees.

Bridge Road connects the beach town of Hobe Sound to Jupiter Island, and right before you cross the bridge you'll discover a tree canopy that covers the road. You could easily mistake this for Bent Banyan Way, shared in a previous post here - but this is a completely different location, in a different town.

On my last search a few weeks ago, I discovered on my way a few beautifully grown porcelain fungus.
I would have liked to spend more time with this one, but I really wanted to take some photos of another mushroom that I found earlier down the hill.
As the sky at the time of shooting was still very bright here and slightly outshining the fungus, I tried to darken the sky during the post-processing and put the mushroom more in the foreground. A flashlight helped me highlight the mushroom on the spot, and then I converted the shot into a black and white image.

The province of Nan is located in the north of Thailand and borders Laos. It is one of the lesser known provinces of Thailand, but is known for its natural beauty, rich culture and ancient history. It's a great place to visit if you're looking for adventure and relaxation in nature. Road 1256 passes through the mountains of Nan and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. Almost the most beautiful road in Thailand, the view on the side of the road is very beautiful, if you go during the rainy season, the atmosphere will be very good.

There are several interesting sights and activities to enjoy along the way. It's great for bird watching, camping, and hiking, and you're unlikely to meet many other people while exploring. You can also visit the Doi Phu Kha National Park, which is known for its beautiful waterfalls, lush forests and spectacular views. Wonderfully cool weather all year round. In addition, there are also several hill tribe villages along the way, where you have the chance to experience the local culture and traditions.

Het is één van de minder bekende provincies van Thailand, maar staat bekend om zijn natuurlijke schoonheid, rijke cultuur en oude geschiedenis. De weg 1256 loopt door de bergen van Nan en biedt een adembenemend uitzicht op de omliggende natuur. Bijna de mooiste weg in Thailand, het uitzicht aan de kant van de weg is erg mooi, als je tijdens het regenseizoen gaat, zal de sfeer erg goed zijn. Je ziet het groen langs de twee kanten van de weg op de bergkam. Het is geweldig om vogels te spotten, te kamperen en te wandelen, en het is onwaarschijnlijk dat je veel andere mensen tegenkomt tijdens het verkennen. Je kunt ook een bezoek brengen aan de Doi Phu Kha National Park, dat bekend staat om zijn prachtige watervallen, weelderige bossen en spectaculaire uitzichten. Heerlijk koel weer het hele jaar door. Het Nationaal Park is ook de thuisbasis van, de hoogste bergtop in de provincie en prachtige watervallen.

The crown of a massive “Broccoli Tree” (possibly Ceiba pentandra) emerges from the surrounding epiphyte-laden canopy of the cloud forest, Monteverde, Costa Rica.
Peering upward into the branch system of the tree, I was reminded of how nerve cells appear under the microscope, or at a slightly larger scale, how bronchial tubes bifurcate and eventually terminate into alveoli. Though trees and lungs are obviously very distantly related in an evolutionary sense, perhaps there is a common problem solved by these structures that is related to transport of substances through tissues.

Ginkgo trees burst with autumnal color in the 14th Street / Shaw / Logan neighborhoods in Washington, DC.
A lucky moment where a waterfall mist-filled sunlight shaft broke through the canopy throwing the shadow of a vine in a perfectly straight line down to the ground.
We went tent camping at Frozen Head State Park from Saturday, April 26th through Monday, April 28th.
Saturday evening we had: Ribeye Steak, Idahoan Mashed Potatoes and canned corn for dinner.
Sunday morning I heated up Banquet Sausage links and Great Value Egg makers. We made Breakfast burritos with some Shredded cheddar cheese and pickled Jalepaños. For lunch, I made Pudgy pies (campfire pizza on white bread; with Pizza sauce, Shredded Mozzarella cheese and Pepperoni slices ). And for dinner we grilled Chicken breast, Shrimp, White onion and Peppers. We made fajitas.
I captured a time-lapse of the charcoal grill heating up (fuel burning off the charcoal briquettes), two slow shutter clips of our campfire and a star trail of the tree canopy and night sky.
Monday morning we packed up our camping gear in the car. Then we hiked from the Panther Run Trailhead up to DeBord Falls and back to our Subaru. Then we drove home!

Visitors can climb the 219 steps to the top for great views from this beautiful and fun tourist attraction. It was recently re-painted last year! Fun to visit!

If you want to head out for a Sunday drive, I don't think there is a more scenic route than heading west on Highway 714 here in southeast Florida. Lush, tropical vegetation leads you to pastoral farm land, sugar cane fields, and wide open untamed spaces. Florida life perfection.

San Juan Island National Historical Park, also known as American and English Camps, San Juan Island, is a U.S. National Historical Park owned and operated by the National Park Service on San Juan Island in the state of Washington. The park is made up of the sites of the British and U.S. Armies' camps during the Pig War. Both of these camps were set up in 1859 as response to a border dispute triggered by the killing of a pig. The camps were occupied for 12 years, until the Treaty of Washington was signed, negotiated by Kaiser Wilhelm I of Germany. The British abandoned their camp in November 1872, while the American camp was disbanded in July 1874. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. The park is divided into two parts; an American Camp where US soldiers were stationed, and a British Camp, where the British Royal Marines established a garrison.

"Allium ursinum, known as wild garlic, ramsons, buckrams, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic, bear leek or bear's garlic, is a bulbous perennial flowering plant in the lily family Amaryllidaceae. It is a wild relative of onion, native to Europe and Asia, where it grows in moist woodland." Wild garlic is edible and one of the easiest ways to use wild garlic is to whiz it up in a blender with toasted pine nuts, olive oil, parmesan and lemon juice to make a wild garlic pesto.
