Photography as a hobby.
Continuous learning to move forward in the wonderful world of photography (even though I am retired ☺️).
Autumn spills its palette across those leaves, from golden yellows and burnt oranges to deep red.
Fading green, each hue a farewell to summer.

Rise of a giant.

This air balloon drifted gently upward, lifting from the earth into the open sky.

Yes, it's another picture of our moon.
But the simplicity of a clear blue sky paired with the moon’s gentle presence feels like nature whispering calm into our souls.

Nestled within the branches, this blackbird surveys, with one keen eye, the world beyond, catching every flicker of movement with quiet, calculated precision.

Spit it out!

This European greenfinch (Chloris Chloris) skillfully cracks a sunflower seed with its sturdy beak.
Holding the seed firmly, it splits the hard shell. With a quick motion, it discards the empty peel, spitting it out, before moving on to the next seed in its feast.

This orchid captures the sun's rays, each beam igniting a soft glow.
With every breath of light, it flourishes in splendor; we can only admire its perfection.

Despite its small size, this Northern Wren (Troglodytes) has a strong, melodious voice.

A symbol of determination and the power of expression, regardless of stature.

They are messengers of the spring, the arrival of brighter days.

After the fog and the rain comes the sun ...
Nothing is special here, just happiness ☺️ to see again those vibrant colors in the sky.

Feeding birds in our gardens during a freezing winter is crucial as it helps them survive harsh conditions.

At first, this photo wasn't very good, it was not sharp at all😒.
However, I decided to try something different with it.
I hope you enjoy it. 😀

It's a dark day today, hence, a black bird is captured in shades of black and white.
