#thicktrunktuesday the big beech tree at Calderwood, West Lothian. It is enormous and well worth a visit! 🌳
A large beech tree in summer foilage is standing beside a woodland trail. The sunshine is highlighting some of the branches.

The end of a very pleasant, easy hike at Lough Bray in Co. Wicklow, Ireland. Sitting in the sunshine, drinking coffee, listening to the water lap against the rocks. Peace.

A view across a glacier mountain lake, some moss covered rocks in the foreground. Across the blue lake a small beach surrounded by trees. Further still the mountain rises to a bright blue sky above.

The Dolomiti teach you that the best views come after the steepest climbs ⛰️🇮🇹

I like to start the day off with a big coffee, and a little rock. ☕️🎶🪨

The sun coming up over the Thompson River, in the interior of British Columbia. The sky is beautiful shades of blue, pink and orange. There are dark mountains in the distance, and a few small rocks near the shore. There’s a mirror image on the water.

Good morning! Happy Sunday!
#Stunday
The sun, with it's light, is always present, waiting, and it will always break the receding clouds.
Have a beautiful day my friends.

The picture shows a low setting sun with golden rays just going behind a distant tree line. The sky itself is a mixture of greys yellows, pinks, orange and golden tones. The clouds are scattered and radiate from dark to light to the top of the picture with a light blue sky hiding behind them.

here's another #sunset #pond #reflection pic from #LemaRanch for the #AbstractAug #water theme.

& for the A.I. ethics police - I never use it except to tell Siri to set a timer when cooking. I don't need it & it won't even run on an Intel Xeon cpu w/ macOS 10.8.5

#nature #cloudscapes #waterscapes
the sun sets with dramatic flare behind the trees along the big pond & reflects on its rippled surface at Lema Ranch on 1/2/22. the Trinity Mountains are in the far background. also this: if I used A.I. to create images, I'd state that fact.

fading in and out
The eastern sky at sunset with differing shades of pink clouds amid patches of blue . Trees in silhouette on either side and a vague outline of a mountain ridge at the bottom just above a short stretch of fence. “When the climbers in 1953 planted their flags on the highest mountain, they set them in snow over the skeletons of creatures that had lived in the warm clear ocean that India, moving north, blanked out. Possibly as much as twenty thousand feet below the seafloor, the skeletal remains had turned into rock. This one fact is a treatise in itself on the movements of the surface of the earth. If by some fiat I had to restrict all this writing to one sentence, this is the one I would choose: The summit of Mt. Everest is marine limestone.” John McPhee - Basin and Range - Annals of the Former World, 1

The sun coming up over the Thompson River in British Columbia, Canada. The sky is bright orange with scattered clouds, and there are several mountains and trees in the distance. There’s a mirror image on the water, making it look like it’s on fire.

Sunset through the forest trees off the coast of Vancouver Island. The ocean is on the other side of those trees.

Sunset, paint me a sky so I have faith in the dawn. Make it bold yet warm. Make it triumphant yet embracing. Paint me a sky full of promise, so that tomorrow I will be hopeful.

Clustered purple flowers emerge from dark green foliage, their soft petals slightly cupped and irregular in shape. The leaves are broad and wet, with visible droplets catching faint highlights. The scene is shadowed overall, with the purple blossoms acting as quiet interruptions across the dense plant structure. There are no visible stems or soil—just the layered surface of leaves and scattered flowers held within a close, saturated frame. Dense sprays of dark green, needle-like leaves fill the frame. The foliage is sharply focused, with water droplets visible along some tips and edges. The background is shadowed, emphasizing the layered texture and structure of the leaves. There is no visible light source or overt atmospheric shift—just the recorded surface and form of the plant. Bright orange trumpet-shaped flowers with slightly flared edges emerge from a leafy green plant, sharply contrasted against a muted, overcast sky and blurred structures in the distance. The orange hue dominates the frame, vivid and saturated, turning the blossoms into striking interruptions within the shadowy environment. A plant with wiry, upright stems bears clusters of flattened, translucent seed pods, each edged with a thin darker outline. The pods range in color from milky white to pale tan, catching light in a way that makes them appear almost luminous against the shadowed, near-black background. Their arrangement across the stems reads as deliberate and architectural, with the high contrast rendering each pod as both botanical detail and visual interruption.

A sunset captured from the water. On the dark shore, two towers can be seen above which dark clouds are present. The sky glows orange at the horizon, with feathery light clouds above.
