Transforming this mushroom-image, into this one. It was fun ;-))
HSS everyone!
A focusstack containing about 60 shots. A wonderfully formed growth.

I'm enjoying seeing the new growth in my wife's garden, including the grape hyacinths springing up through the ivy.

most people are afraid of a new beginning as it often times means that new challenges are ahead. with an apprentice's mindset, one is able to look into themselves and find the true value that you are bringing into your new destiny. use these tests as a chance to make yourself better for the future.
You are traumatized, devastated and immobilized by the awful experiences that still have extremely debilitating effects on you in the present moment. And you work so hard, taking tiny little steps to keep reaching for growth even though it feels impossible. And that is amazing. You truly are fighting for life.

This is an in-camera double exposure I took back on June 13, 2021 while out in our yard at sunset, taking pictures as a way to try to cope with the difficult experiences and symptoms I struggle with each moment of each day. I was thankful for my time outside and the in-camera double exposure experimentation I was doing—it was helpful to have some moments of focusing on this positive, energizing activity and helped me make it through that evening.
Don't you just hate it when your vegetables go feral!

HCT!
Wood, ah tree,
tell me what moves
you, the bark gone
and color painted by
algae of fungi
the soft parts eaten
my bugs or ants.
Yeah, it caught my eyes when I strolling in btw these two medical buildings near me (my 3 doctors practice there), where is about 5 minutes away. During the lockdown, I go there a lot, not only hardly a soul seen there, but also with at least 30 flowering trees in bloom now, like I found my peaceful place to photography, and even take a walk. :-))
Potting utensils left behind next to the kitchen garden in the "Haus der Offiziere", an old military training quarter in Wünsdorf from 1910. After the war it served the Russian military in East Germany until 1994.
Had a beautiful day with a flock of Evening Grosbeaks today. These birds are declining and are now listed as a species of special concern under COSEWIC in Canada. Since the 1970's these birds have experiences 77-90% declines across their range. They are mostly declining due to loss of their habitat (mature and old-growth forests), road collisions (when they feed on grit in winter) and window strikes.

Went out quickly when the sun showed itself briefly just after the Alert Test this afternoon - I was looking for something yellow , but found something pale green . I am not sure what type of tree is coming out here but it still caught my eye !!
Fiddleheads or fiddlehead greens are the furled fronds of a young fern, harvested for use as a vegetable. Left on the plant, each fiddlehead would unroll into a new frond (circinate vernation). As fiddleheads are harvested early in the season before the frond has opened and reached its full height, they are cut fairly close to the ground. Fiddleheads contain a compound associated with bracken toxicity. The fiddlehead resembles the curled ornamentation (called a scroll) on the end of a stringed instrument, such as a fiddle. It is also called a crozier, after the curved staff used by bishops, which has its origins in the shepherd's crook.
