fungus in mulch

A rather large mushroom, almost 6 inches tall and at least a couple inches across the cap. It’s almost clear but has a strange translucent blue tint to it. Sitting on a big pile left behind by a wood chipper with dozens of much smaller fungus buddies a few feet away

Yesterday #evening at Lake Ohrid, one of the oldest lakes in the world, North Macedonia (please see ALT-Text)

#BlueSkyArtShow #photography #stunday #BlueSkyMonday #landscape #scape #nature #travel #roadtrip #photohour #EastCoastKin

The picture shows Lake Ohrid, one of the oldest and deepest lakes in Europe, located on the border between North Macedonia and Albania. The lake and the surrounding cultural landscape have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.
It is known for its unique flora and fauna, with over 200 endemic species found nowhere else in the world.
The town of Ohrid on the North Macedonian shore is one of the oldest human settlements in Europe.
The picture shows a jetty on the lake shore with a sunset in the background. Several seagulls can be seen flying overhead.

Lake Garda - September 2025: #08/09 Parco degli Albertini

This somewhat unassuming park is worth a visit to enjoy the views from the towers and the hidden oasis at its height.

An infrared image of a graveyard with weathered tombstones surrounded by a large, weeping willow tree with reddish leaves. The sky is partly cloudy with hints of blue. The scene has an ethereal, surreal quality.

For #BirdOfTheDay #LunchTime theme I can offer this Atlantic Puffin bringing home the groceries.

A bird with a black crown and black neck and white chest, with pale grey face and cheeks, red surrounding its eye, and a deep, multicoloured grey, yellow and vermilion bill, the bill holding many silvery fish.

I don't just watch the sunset, I feel it.
What is this feeling?
It is my longing for life, but also my longing for peace and safety✨️

Happy #Scape Friday 🫶

The image shows a sunset at Lake Ohrid, North Macedonia. The sky is covered with dark, dramatic clouds, leaving a gap in the middle for the warm light of the setting sun.
The surface of the lake is calm and reflects the light of the sky. A bright orange streak of light stretches from the centre of the image to the bottom edge, reflecting the sun's rays.
A dark, undulating silhouette of a mountain range separates the lake from the sky. The water reflects the dark contours of the mountains.

More patterns in the mountainsides - this time seen in the cliffs above Hamarsfjörður, one of the first fjords as you reach the Eastfjords area of #Iceland.
