Strother Hills, Site of Special Scientific Interest - ancient oak woodland. Also noted for the damp valley floor harboring a good example of Alder Tussock Sedge Woodland. Quite a bit of blueberry growing around the oak trees as well, which I don't see around here.
Ladies' Spring Woods 03032022 - 'wood wide web' - can't recall seeing this before - one branch linking 2 trunks and a little higher two branches that have merged
A Calathea makoyana leaf against the light. This was one of the first few photos I took with a digital camera.
On 3rd October 2018, Prussian 'T16.1' Class 0-10-0 tank 94 1538 runs through the closed Schmiedefeld station with a special public holiday working between Schleusingerneundorf and Rennsteig. Two decades of tree growth since its closure by DB have left it looking in a very sorry state. The railway first came to Schmiedefeld in 1904 after which it grew as a popular spa resort for convalescing, hiking and cross-country skiing. Post-war during the GDR-era, Schmiedefeld, being located high in the Thuringian Forest, was a popular holiday destination, and it was served by through holiday trains from Berlin. Even in 1990/1991 it as still served by a return through train service from Magdeburg. During the communist era, East German holidaymakers would flock to Schmiedefeld to rented accommodation and holiday homes, many unable to travel further afield from the GDR. After the end of communism, express trains still ran along this secondary railway through Schmiedefeld between Themar and Erfurt, although freight traffic on this route ceased at the end of 1993. Scheduled DB passenger services ended on the line in May 1998. The line, still connected to the DB national network, is now owned by the private Rennsteigbahn freight operating company, which commenced operating services around the DB network from 2003. As well as providing the safety case for the tourist operations with private historic locomotives and carriages, it has also recently operated timber trains along sections of the Rennsteigbahn, and there's clearly no shortage of that commodity!

I am fascinated by the interconnectivity within nature. Everything must be connected to thrive and for trees, there's even a name for it: mycorrhizal networks. According to Wikipedia, its "an underground network found in forests and other plant communities, created by the hyphae of mycorrhizal fungi joining with plant roots. This network connects individual plants together." They can even send out distress signals and alter their behavior in response.
The trick for me then, was how to photograph this. Our walk through a west coast old growth forest gave me at least a partial answer, which I've shown here.
Red Bottlebrush.
I have to thank my Australian friends for lending me some of their national flora to grow in my front garden where they seem to love the sunshine. The Callistemons are interesting plants, but very prickly with sharpy spikes at the end of the leaves. Roo-proofing I guess.
This is one of two close-ups for Macro Wednesday, both in colour. I hope to publish a monochrome one tomorrow of a different view.
I love the abstract nature of this image... all blurry bits.
And both of today's are suitable for my 20-minute edit challenge I have set myself :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Mittwochsmakro :)

Da Bearz Orbital Network. It features 3 different classes of satellites:
(1) Communication (top satellite)
(2) Spy (lower right, nicknamed "Eye of Belichick")
(3) Hunter-Killer (lower left, nicknamed "Danimal")
All satellites are equipped with 4 pairs of maneuvering thrusters and some type of weapon system (see the individual satellite photos for more details.
