Making a garden is somehow like conducting a symphony - different plants come forward at different times and you need to think very carefully about their placement in relation to each other.

Sorbus aucuparia 🌳❤️
In Gradinerp village (1734 m), the largest rowan (mountain ash) I've ever seen 👀

A tall, old tree with red berries in a mountainous landscape with a blue sky. Normally small to medium in size, in this case it has reached considerable size (about 10 m). Tolkien's novel "The Two Towers" employs rowans as the signature tree for the Ent, Quickbeam. The forest of Fangorn, where Quickbeam and other Ents live, is populated with numerous rowans that were said to have been planted by male Ents to please the female Ents ❤️

A stunning turquoise lake with mountains and a glacier in the background. Conifer trees line the shore on the right side and there are grasses popping out of the water in the foreground. The blue sky has white puffy clouds.

I’m hoping to go out tomorrow and check in on all my birds and wildlife. Leaving you with this Great Egret in the meantime.

Good morning #BlueSky ☕️ Pebbles are just baby rocks? in this little macro shot from yesterday. Have a wonderful day friends ☺️ #Photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographyOfBlueSky #PhotographersOfBlueSky
#RockinTuesday #ColorADay #CyanTue #MacroPhotography #Leaf #AutumnColours #RainDrops #Nature #Moss
Our photograph shows a close-up of a fallen autumn leaf resting on a bed of small, smooth pebbles that l took yesterday in my garden here in Ireland. The leaf is golden brown and covered in clear water droplets that glisten like tiny glass beads, catching the light beautifully. Around it, other leaves in shades of deep red and rusty orange are scattered, damp from recent rain. A small patch of green moss adds a burst of color and texture beside the leaf, contrasting with the earthy tones of the stones. The overall mood of the image feels calm and reflective, capturing the quiet beauty of nature after rainfall, a moment suspended in stillness and light. And finally, our picture is finished off with a simple white border frame.

Roses and Raindrops, what's not to love 😊

The Name of the Rose (2019)
A close-up photograph of a delicate rosebud with soft pink and cream petals, covered in fresh raindrops. The water droplets glisten on the velvety surface, capturing light and adding a sense of freshness. The rose stands against a softly blurred background of green foliage and muted pavement tones, highlighting the flower’s intricate texture and natural beauty.

Aberdeen, Scotland, 57.2°N, 1:45 AM local time. Taken with a sufficiently ancient & cheap camera that it basically looked like this to the naked eye, no joke.

Foggy morning
A photograph from my mom of farmland outside Middleburg, VA, this month. So early in the morning the fog that's collected in every dip and crease of the gentle hills has yet to burn away. (false dawn photograph of a small stone building and a grassy slope, beyond which are only layers of fog extending into the distance, where tree tops can be distantly seen, showing through, and a silver blue sky with rosy light just peeping over the edge of the left of the shot)

A #moon and #beach image for #Stunday. This image was made at our local wildlife refuge on a very early morning. The setting moon stole light from the stars. But they are still there. #photography #landscape #stars #nightphotography #EastCoastKin #Astrophotography #lighthouses

Black Pearl Pepper plants are renowned for their striking ornamental beauty and their unique colour-changing capability from black to red.
The flowers are a rich and vibrant purple colour, putting on a show before the peppers even arrive.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #birdsinmygarden. I’ll go with this Cooper’s Hawk who shows up at the feeder once in a while.

This little guy is in heaven with all of the sunflower seeds everywhere. I’ve already saved the ones I’m going to use next year. The rest goes to the local wildlife. Sometimes the birds get frustrated with my presence, like what the hell are you doing in our cafeteria? 😆 #gardening #nature

Clouds are the philosophers of the sky, representing the tenuous, ever-changing nature of life. The concept of clouds as philosophers of the sky is a theme used in art and writing.

The sky is the source of light in nature - and governs everything.
