I made a 2026 art calendar with my UV floral images.

It's super glossy and the flowers are just electric against the black backgrounds.

You should get one. :) They also make easy gifts with serious 'wow' factor, so take advantage of this limited run!

Methods of distraction include wigging out over the hidden details of nature. Proven effective time and again!

Unrelated pro tip: There's only one way to host Thanksgiving, and that is to do as much as possible in advance.

I found this little autumn scene a couple of years ago tucked away behind the parking area at a nearby lake.

A reminder that all too often we live our lives ignorant of the beauty that surrounds us, Springbok antelopes in Namibia trundle unawares through a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of colors, set against distant mountains receding into the shade.

Hard to believe I photographed these smaller flowers about a month ago outside my office building when the tempertature was probably 70F (21C) or warmer. It was 29F (-2C) when I got up this morning. 🥶

#Photography #Photo #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Nature #NaturePhotography
A close-up image shows a cluster of small, delicate, daisy-like flowers growing in bright green grass. The flowers are white to pale lavender/light purple, each with a bright yellow center. They are scattered densely throughout the frame, surrounded by blades of grass and some other tiny flower buds and seed heads. The perspective is looking down into the patch of flowers, emphasizing the contrast between the vibrant colors of the blooms and the lush green background. The lighting is bright, illuminating the texture of the grass and the details of the flower petals.

A few years ago, I was visting Austin or San Antonio, Texas. I don't remember now. Looking out my hotel room window, I noticed my hotel's distorted reflection in the window of the building across the street.

#Photography #Photo #Travel #TravelPhotography #Reflection #Abstract
A high-contrast, black and white photograph image of one building's distorted reflection in another building's window. The image is dominated by three vertical panels that extend from the top to the bottom edge. These panels are separated by narrow, white vertical strips of brick. The main feature of each panel are the dark windows which reflected a distorted view of the building across from them. The overall effect is an abstract, graphic composition.

WARNING‼️ NO WILDLIFE IN THIS IMAGE 😂 Not like me at all but, this week I was mostly entranced by #autumnal #acers in #BushyPark #WoodlandGardens 🍁🍂 @theroyalparks.bsky.social @sheclicksnet.bsky.social #nature #trees #autumncolours #fujifilm_uk #fujifilm_x_series
This landscape aspect image is a study of acer tree leaves turning autumnal, with a deep orange, blurred backdrop of swamp cypress leaves. Swamp cypress where introduced to the UK in the 17th century and are one of only a few conifers that are deciduous, the feathery leaves turning orange or russet-red in autumn, dropping them in the winter. The left side of the image is predominantly green and the right side is predominantly deep orange. The leaves of the acer tree, which have seven pointed lobes, are largest and in sharp focus in the centre and the left side. They have a mix of colours from rich forest green, paling to lime green, yellow, orange, red and hints of purple. Between the foreground leaves and the orange background are partially blurred acer leaves hanging down from the other side of the tree's canopy. They are mostly green and yellow, seemingly floating in the air like polka dots against the orange background on the righthand side.

#SilentSunday #Photography
A close-up photograph of a single, large, creamy-white Magnolia blossom nestled among lush, dark green leaves. The blossom is the central focus, positioned slightly to the left. Its petals are thick and waxy, opening up to reveal a prominent yellow-green center. The overall shape is cup-like. The blossom is surrounded by the tree's foliage, which consists of large, glossy, elliptical, dark green leaves. Some of the leaves appear to have water droplets or a slight sheen, suggesting they might be wet or recently watered. The overall impression is one of vibrant health and deep, contrasting colors—the bright, pale flower against the shadowy, rich green background.

Is #WaterfallWednesday still a thing?

Fall Creek Falls, Fall Creek Falls State Park, Tennessee

#Photography #Photo #Nature #NaturePhotography #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Waterfall
A vertical, black-and-white photograph of a large, powerful waterfall. The image is dominated by the brilliant white, rushing water that falls from the top edge straight down into a turbulent pool at the bottom. The falling water is so forceful that it appears as a thick, nearly solid curtain, with spray and mist billowing out, creating a soft, ethereal texture. The waterfall is framed by dark rock walls on either side. These cliffs provide a sharp contrast to the bright white water. The texture of the cliff face at the top is rough and layered, suggesting deep, natural stone formations. The overall impression is one of immense power, movement, and high contrast, emphasizing the force and beauty of the natural element against the stark, dark rock.

#SilentSunday #Photography
A vibrant image of a tranquil lake at sunrise. The scene is dominated by a wide body of calm water that stretches across the middle ground. The water is a mix of muted greens, browns, and reflections of the sky, appearing smooth with a slight misty haze just above the surface. On the right side of the image, there is a wooden deck and a gazebo with a reddish-brown, hipped roof. The deck is supported by wooden pilings extending out over the water, creating a lovely, rustic pier. A wooden bench is visible next to the gazebo, positioned on the bank. The riverbank itself is covered in lush, dark green foliage and tall, reedy plants in the foreground, with their thin stalks creating a textured look in front of the water. The background features a dense border of vibrant green trees that line both the left and right banks of the water. On the far right, the tree line slopes upward to form a small, forested hill. The sky above is dramatic and colorful, suggesting the sun is low on the horizon. It features dark, heavy clouds streaked with bands of orange, pink, and pale yellow light peeking through the blue and purple tones of the twilight or dawn. The overall mood is peaceful and serene, with the rich colors adding an intense, almost painterly quality to the natural landscape.

I photographed this shrub several years ago in the Moroccan pavilion in Epcot's World Showcase. I loved the twists and turns of the trunk against the background wall.

#Photo #Photography #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Travel #TravelPhotography
A vertical photograph featuring a striking interplay of a large shrub against a textured wall. The central subject is a large shrub against a warm, salmon-pink to light-tan stucco wall. The main trunk is relatively short, and its thick, dark brown branches twist and curve horizontally and upward in an artistic, sculptural pattern against the smooth wall. Above the branches, the tree's dense green foliage forms a lush canopy, creating a dark green border at the top of the image. At the base of the wall, there's a thick border of ground cover—small, dark green leaves forming a dense, low hedge. Tucked within this green foliage are numerous bright, vibrant red blossoms, adding a strong pop of contrasting color near the bottom of the frame. The lighting is soft but vibrant, emphasizing the rich textures of the rough wall and the smooth, sinuous branches.

Got back yesterday from a week in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Good trip, but I was shocked by the indifference people seemed to have for all of nature's beauty. If it wasn't a bear, they didn't care. It was sad to see so much disinterest on display. ☹️

A quick phone shot from yesterday of a small patch of flowers just outside my office.

#Photography #Photo #Nature #NaturePhotography #Landscape #LandscapePhotography
This is a close-up, top-down photograph of a patch of small, daisy-like flowers growing in bright green grass. The flowers have many thin petals that are a pale lavender or light purple color, surrounding a bright yellow center. The flowers are scattered densely across the frame. Some of the flowers are fully open, while others are small buds or appear to be fading. The vibrant green blades of grass surround and intermingle with the flowers, creating a natural, meadow-like scene. The natural daylight lighting casts an even light over the flowers and grass.
