Monochromatic morning moisture gathering slowly on a branch tip

I hope all my #Bluesky friends have had a lovely weekend!

Sparty 🙏🏼🖤🤍

This black and white photograph is a macro study of delicate natural forms, focusing on two small, clustered buds on a thin, wet branch, each adorned with a perfectly formed water droplet. The image uses a shallow depth of field to isolate its subjects against a softly blurred background of foliage. On the left, a cluster of small, textured buds, possibly those of a fruiting bush, hangs from the main branch. A large, clear water droplet clings to the lowest point of this cluster, its smooth, convex surface reflecting a distorted miniature of the surrounding scene. The internal structure of the droplet, including the point where the water meets the plant material, is sharply rendered. To the right, a smaller, more solitary bud or fruit hangs on a thinner stem. A second, smaller water droplet is suspended from its tip, catching the light and appearing almost like a crystal ball. The lighting emphasises the contrast between the dark, almost silhouetted branches and the bright, reflective surfaces of the water droplets. The background is a soft, ethereal bokeh, composed of various shades of gray, ranging from deep shadows to lighter, indistinct shapes of leaves and other branches. This deliberate blurring ensures that the viewer's attention remains fixed on the foreground subjects and the interplay of light and water. The overall mood is intimate and contemplative, capturing a fleeting moment of natural beauty after rainfall. The composition is balanced, with the two main subjects creating a visual dialogue within the frame. The image is an example of macro photography, highlighting the intricate details of a simple, everyday scene.

An early morning sunrise view over Marseille. From my high point the sun begins to cast its light onto the city buildings; whereas the distant horizon remains in shadow. The blue sky has some white and some grey clouds visible.

Here are some pictures taken yesterday on one of our regular dog walks not far from home.
A bitterly cold day, but the dogs need their exercise 🐾.

A winter scene along a rural road in the Cumbrian countryside. The road is muddy, with frost visible on the grass verge to the right. The surrounding area features typical hedgerows and fields. A cluster of white farm buildings can be seen in the distance. The sky is overcast with heavy grey and white clouds. A scenic view of a rural road and hedgerow in Cumbria, England on a cold winters day. The photo shows a narrow, paved country road curving into the distance, bordered by a dry stone wall on the left and a dense, dark hedgerow on the right. The landscape is characterized by open fields and mature, bare-branched trees, with one large, dark evergreen holly tree with red berries prominent on the right. The sky is a bright blue with wispy white contrails and clouds. There is a light frost on the grass bordering the road on the left. A frosty winter afternoon scene in Cumbria, England, focusing on common ivy growing over a dry stone wall, with a field of sheep in the background. The ivy leaves and stems are covered in a thick layer of white hoarfrost, indicating temperatures below freezing. In the background, a green field with several sheep is visible, with trees and a cloudy sky on the horizon. The image shows ivy leaves and stems covered in hoarfrost on a cold winters day.

Abstract macro image of translucent bubbles made by mixing oil with water suspended in deep blue liquid, with varying sizes forming an organic cluster; highlights and reflections create a glowing, almost cosmic effect.

This bright, hot pink flower is California hummingbird sage (Salvia spathacea). Dew is attached to its velvet-like texture.

Closeup of a wildflower that has a fuzzy surface with dew drops caught in the fuzz. Hot pink flower buds are starting to emerge. The rest of the plant is a brownish maroon, lightened by the fuzz and dew. Spotted on a hike in the hills of San Luis Obispo, California.

I think nature had a skip in her step after all the rain! 📷🕊️ ….
Blue sky beyond the vista is a feast to see against all the auburn grasses and passing clouds.

A fence post with barbed wire. Moorland grass and heather are on the ground. The sky is clouded, with trails from jets crossing the sky.

You can see two bare winter trees on the shore. The sky above the lake is coloured blue and orange, and the water glows golden. In the background, you can see the Swiss Alps still glowing in the sun.

Some green from the summer of 2022 on this cold winter's morning. A veil of clouds rests at the foot of the mountains.
Bright green trees in the foreground, morning sun illuminating the peaks behind. A layer of clouds sits between.
