It's hard to ignore sunflowers. They don't exactly hide their faces from the world. :)

 

Taken at Borde Hill garden, near Haywards Heath in Sussex.

Macro detail shot on a walk after a rainstorm in the Wye Valley, Gloucestershire - on the Welsh borders

From the large dead and lifeless tree on my last upload to the small and delicate new life of flowers popping up all over the land. Spring is finally here.

Actually taken several weeks ago. I need to look up the species.

Slow year of sheltering at home...

New life emerging from a branch.

It is mid-winter, and between extreme weather and a lack of flowers, I was unable to capture a satisfactory image for this week's BW Flower macro. So, instead, I reprocessed an image I took earlier this year. Special thanks to my wife for her help with this project and her consistent encouragement.

There were three foxes; this one has a scar

Dog, cigarette butt, and passers-by in Naples, Italy.

Some lone berries still on the branches, at Frick park.

One of several 'still life' ideas I've been trying with acorns and pine cones.

finally I found the "machine" that makes all those pretty bokeh-bubbles ;-)

This image sums up how I feel about the challenge on days like this. Benched by the weather. Or am I just being unimaginative?

Adder coils up tight

in the morning thaw,

her spangled train helter skeltering down

and tangled in stories spun of age:

 

Is there anywhere safe for a snake, who's

Scorned as Eden's "honey-trap"?

Tossed like cauldron fodder in to a witches' bake?

And chased off cliffs by a so called Saint?!!!

 

No wonder adder stays low when

slipping the bracken for a slither of light,

keeping the cloistered ruby of her eye

out of all shallow sight.

An ethereal portrait of Mittens captured through the window with a very shallow depth of field.

 

I borrowed my spouse's Nikon Z5 full-frame camera and used the Viltrox 85mm f1/8 lens. I absolutely love this lens for portraits.

Can still see snow in the background!

Trandafir de la Moldova.

From my spring 2017 trip to Iceland--this lone puffin looking out over the Atlantic from the Isle of Papey.

Drinking the nectar

Waited patiently for this speedy bird to come out from the clustered bush of plants, finally caught her in the open. :)

Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve, Devon

Over the edge of this ice... looking out the frozen landscape of Georgian Bay.
