I felt like I was on a 70s movie set when I walked past this scene!

Happy new week 😃

I tried experimenting with long exposure. Not sure if it’s any good or not!

Top-tier birdwatching or just being silently judged by nature? Hard to tell!

Let’s hope this is great week. Can’t get much worse than the last!

A brown bird of prey perches on the top of a green tree, staring into the distance under a bright blue sky. It looks both majestic and mildly concerned.

If this leaf were a person, it’d be scheduling a dermatologist appointment. Nature's beauty comes with a few blemishes!

Macro shot of a yellow leaf with red and brown spots, emphasizing its veins and texture. The imperfections give it a unique and organic charm.

Time to #spring into action this weekend and celebrate #blueskyartshow.

I wish I could put a big spring under that orange moron and jettison him out of this world.

Be positive and enjoy your weekend all.

I’ve seen everyone doing waterfalls using long exposure so I jumped on the bandwagon for #waterfallwednesday. It now looks more like smoke than water though, not sure if it’s better or worse 🤷🏽

Picture of a very small waterfall flowing between big bits of rock. Bits of wood can be seen in the foreground.

I’ve got legs hairier than that!

I think this fits both #thicktrunktuesday & #texturetuesday nicely.

Have a lovely day you wonderful people 💚

For this Friday’s #scape, here’s a sunset over the Pacific from a few years back. It looked like a perfect free-range egg yolk to me!

Enjoy your weekend, everyone! ♥️

The “Mother in-law’s Seat” or the Golden Barrel Cactus is one of my favorite names for a plant 😅🤭

I used to get on really well with my mother-in law…
