A beautiful reminder that true strength often comes in the smallest, most spirited packages. These 'miniature forces of nature' are as charismatic as they are resilient. Truly captivating wildlife photography.
I found the comments on the last post about bird names in other languages fascinating! Today pictures of long-tailed tits - there must be some good names for these little, charismatic, unstoppable, insect-guzzling miniature forces of nature! #Birds #UKWildlife #WildlifePhotography

Day 23 and we've reached penultimate window of this year’s Coastal Lexicon Advent Calendar!
Today’s word is:
🌊 strand — 'the land bordering a sea, a shore or beach'
Common to Germanic, strand being the default ‘beach’ word in Dutch, German, Danish and Norwegian.

When light, shadow, and silence line up perfectly nature does the rest.
Mt. Rainier just pulled off a wild sunrise moment as a shadow column stretched straight into the sky above the neighborhood 🚀
Nature lined up the low sun with the mountain in a way that created this unusual beam effect, basically turning the whole sky into a glowing backdrop.

When light, shadow, and silence line up perfectly nature does the rest.
Where distance softens and everything feels possible again.
Between two wild trees
blue water, a mountain holding its breath.
Put your phone down—come here.
Kiss me until my thoughts go airplane mode,
until the cold lake learns heat,
until distance cracks and we fly through it.

A beautiful study of stillness, grace, and the intimacy of a private moment.

A reminder that even on disappointing-weather days, there’s still beauty to borrow from memory.

A reminder that even in difficult years, there are moments worth protecting and building on.
The end of the year is a great moment to pause & reflect. While it hasn't been an easy year for the environment, there are still bright moments worth celebrating 🌊

Quiet horizons and soft light one of those views that slows you down without asking.

A beautiful kind of silence, where winter and memory seem to meet.
