Last Year’s Man @lastyearsman.bsky.social · Jan 30
I would like to apologise in advance for inadvertently following/unfollowing anyone or liking/unliking their posts. My physical condition has taken a sudden and rather severe turn for the worse, and I am having difficulty using the touchscreen on my iPhone. Please be patient (and kind)…
Thank you 🙏

The crown of a large tree bends over a rural dirt road. Shadows add contrast to the light sand of the road.

It would be a crime to miss out on autumn, so I did not!

#Autumn #EppingForest #Woodlandphotography #EssexWildlifeTrust #Nature #LandscapePhotography
My first walk of the autumn through Epping Forest. The shape of the trees, leaves and all of nature, simply a riot of colour.

Pale tupelo gums

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A cluster of tupelo gum trees standing in shallow water. The smooth, pale trunks of the trees rise from the surface, and reflect among amber and gold. Behind them, the forest glows with warm autumn hues of gold, orange, and red.

Desire to merge with the stillness

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
Late afternoon light glances through a cypress stand, turning the swamp golden yellow. The reflections of trunks and foliage stretch toward the viewer. In these moments, I wish to disappear as every breath, thought, action, seems an impure import that threatens to break the spell.

Golden sands breathe under endless blue.
Clouds drift like whispers the sea once knew.
Footsteps fade where the tide has been.
Dreams left shining soft and thin.
Far off a lighthouse guards the sea.
A sentinel watching for what might be.
A beach walk under blue skies at Whitley Bay in the UK.

November tree. The setting sun lit the tops of dead grasses in the field and the diffused smoke from campfire in the area made for a haze that turned the scene a golden brown. #nature #trees #sunset #november #fall #autumn #ohio
A field of golden brown grasses glows before a naked tree in hazy air stands tall against a dusty line of trees in the distance. Dirty clouds with a patch of pale blue litter the sky as the sun sinks from the weight of its task. A dry dead branch in the foreground lends some depth to the scene.

Good morning. It’s the weekend. Just take a deep breath, relax and remember that Ireland is here to heal your heart and soul. If you haven’t already, put us on your bucket list. 😊☘️ #ColorADay #GreenSat #Ireland #photography #sunset #EastCoastKin
A narrow stream winds through tall green Irish grasses under a dramatic evening sky. The sunset casts golden reflections on the water, with orange and yellow hues glowing along the horizon beneath dark, heavy clouds. A lone tree stands on the left, silhouetted against the light, and distant hills fade into the background.

A barn owl photographed at Bridlington animal park UK, recently. Great place to spend a few or more hours.

Ice cream castles in the air...the Entrada Formation and its otherworldly landscapes. I hope Wednesday treats you all gently.

Golden beacon by the sea.
Where tides breathe wild and endlessly.
Stone and sky in amber blend.
The day begins and dreams ascend.
Whispers ride the ocean’s tune.
Reflections burn beneath the moon.
St. Mary’s stands calm and apart.
A steadfast flame to a sailor’s heart.
St Marys Lighthouse at Whitley Bay in the UK.

Some leaves wither fast
Others hold a blaze of light
We all shine our turn

A wooden fence stretches into a grassy pasture lined with trees. On the left, several bare gray trunks reach upward, while on the right a tall tree glows with bright autumn colors of red, yellow, and orange. The sky above is mostly overcast with patches of blue peeking through.

The path to sunrise

#photography #naturephotography #landscape
A line of cypress trees stretches into the distance, into a band of orange as the first light of sunrise colors the horizon. The trees and shoreline are dark against the oncoming light.

Autumn often makes me appreciative, in general - grateful for experiences with nature and for the quietude it provides.

#photography #naturephotograpy #landscape
A day begins with the sun's light glowing on the horizon behind silhouetted trees, growing from the water. The trees and white, scattered clouds are reflected in symmetry.

Un seul œil… et toute la forêt est sous surveillance 👁️🦉✨
Dissimulée dans l’écorce, cette chouette observe en silence.
Un camouflage parfait… et un regard qui ne laisse rien passer 🌳👀
