Schöner Mond gerade eben ...
Die Mondsichel von rechts beschienen, also mit der runden Seite rechts und der offenen Seite links. Einzelne Krater besonders deutlich an der Tagnachtgrenze und dort am markanten, kontrastreichen Schattenwurf zu erkennen.

Richly embroidered saddle-pads with bells from the 1870s for sleigh rides.

A still life painting with a round (uncut) squash of some kind (maybe calabaza or similar?), plums, green grapes, and a cut lemon with a curl of peel sitting on a wooden table. At the corner of the table, at the left, sits a beetle. An insect of some kind, maybe a small housefly, sits on one of the plums.

'Schnee und Eis nah dran' #FotoVorschlag
Eine ausgedörrte, braune Sonnenblume mit gezackten, eisbedeckten Rändern ragt im goldenen Sonnenaufgangslicht empor, umgeben von weichem Bokeh aus Wolken, einer Fichte und Gebäuden, wobei der strahlende Sonnenball die Szene in warmes, frostiges Leuchten taucht. Die Komposition vermittelt Übergang von Winter zu herbstlichem Glanz.

Ok folks going to get through as many #BirdOfTheDay entries as I can. Bear with me. Here’s one for #MacroMonday #photography #EastCoastKin
A red admiral butterfly with wings partly open feeds on bright yellow butterfly bush flowers, its dark, scalloped wings patterned with bold red bands and small white spots. The butterfly’s slender body and long antennae are sharply in focus against a softly blurred blue sky and green foliage, creating a vivid contrast between the warm yellow blooms and the cool-toned background.

Inner beauty, in people or even in flowers, isn’t something you notice right away. It shows up slowly, if you’re willing to stay and pay attention.

Weitläufige Wattlandschaft an der Nordsee bei Sonnenuntergang. Der Himmel ist von dichten, teils aufgelockerten Wolken bedeckt, die das Licht der untergehenden Sonne am Horizont reflektieren. Das Watt im Vordergrund zeigt feuchte, spiegelnde Flächen und flache Wasserläufe. Am Horizont sind mehrere schlanke Pfähle oder Markierungen zu erkennen. Die Farben reichen von kühlem Blau und Grau bis zu warmen Orangetönen am linken Bildrand.
