Close-up of deeply weathered tree bark, its vertical ridges and splinters glowing with warm amber light against dark, shadowed grooves. Subtle highlights reveal rough texture and layered wood grain.

One of my favorite things about the tropical dry forests of Guanacaste are the winter visiting Scissor-tailed Flycatchers. They're later than a lot of other N American migrants, but they're starting to show up in good numbers now. When it gets too wet in Bijagua, I just head down to the sun. #birds
Slim bird with a very long tail, gray head, white breast, and orange sides perched on a weathered tree stump against a soft green background.

A light blue sky makes a fine backdrop for a white, gray, and black Belted Kingfisher that is gripping the top of weathered dead tree that looks gray with some remaining bark stained with green moss.

Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday

Will probably take the puppies for a walk by this twisted beauty today
Ponderosa pine twister 1 of 2

#montana #mountains #forest
The photograph shows a massive, gnarled tree rising skyward with a trunk that twists dramatically as it ascends. Its thick, dark bark is deeply furrowed, weathered by age and seasons, and a long, reddish scar runs along one side where the outer bark has peeled away, revealing the raw wood beneath. The tree’s contorted shape suggests decades of survival—perhaps shaped by wind, snow load, or lightning—giving it a powerful, almost sculptural presence. Around it, a forest of evergreens fills the background, their branches filtering soft daylight through a lightly clouded sky. The lower forest floor appears to dip toward a snowy or pale clearing, while the tree itself dominates the frame from a low, upward-looking perspective, emphasizing its towering, enduring form. Ancient and alive—a testament to resilience in the heart of a mountain forest.

A quiet stretch of Washington coast where twisted trees meet the driftwood shore under a bright summer sky.
#photography #pnw #coast
A coastal scene shows weathered driftwood scattered along a gravel beach beneath leaning evergreen and madrone trees. The largest tree juts dramatically toward the sky, its upper branches stripped bare while others remain green. Puffy white clouds float in a bright blue sky, contrasting with the dense green foliage on the slope. The image conveys a peaceful, windswept feeling of nature’s endurance by the sea.

Good Evening and Goodnight BlueSky Folks! My Final picture of the Day is of a common Buzzard Standing on a Old Tree That I Saw Last Year while walking around my Local Area Captured on a Canon EOS R50
The picture shows a bird of prey perched on a dry, gnarled tree branch against a clear blue sky. The bird appears to be a hawk or buzzard, with predominantly brown plumage, a lighter patch on its chest, and a sharp, hooked beak. Its feathers are slightly ruffled, and it is looking off to the side. The tree branch is bare and weathered, with rough bark and a twisted shape. The background is a bright, cloudless sky, giving the image a stark and dramatic feel. The picture shows a bird of prey perched on a bare, gnarled branch of a dead tree against a clear blue sky. The bird appears to be a hawk or similar raptor, with brown plumage, a sharp hooked beak, and keen eyes. Its feathers are slightly ruffled, possibly by the wind. The tree has no leaves and its branches are twisted and weathered, giving it a stark, dramatic appearance. The overall scene is striking due to the contrast between the bird, the barren tree, and the bright, cloudless sky.

A high contrast black and white photograph of a small, historic cemetery in a rural setting, signed by Bron Peirce. The scene is dominated by the stark, spindly, leafless branches of a dead tree on the right, framing the weathered gravestones. In the centre, a simple wooden cross stands beside a tall, ornate monument. The graves are enclosed by a low, wrought iron fence. In the background, rolling hills meet a vast sky filled with horizontal streaks of cumulus clouds. The overall mood is solemn and quiet.

Color photo taken on one side of a large pond. On the other side, underneath a moody sky, are several large trees in various states of change for fall, along with an enormous mausoleum in the style of a Greek temple. The placid waters of the pond reflect both the temple and the riotous colors of the trees. Color photo of a pyramid shaped mausoleum standing between two trees quickly losing their yellow leaves. Various smaller monuments are arrayed in the background. Color photo of a weathered Art Deco mausoleum. Fallen leaves are spread across the grass surrounding it, and in the far background, a pond glows orange, reflecting the changing trees around it. To the right is a wooden bridge leading off to a small island, orange and red bushes and trees surrounding it. Color photo of a brilliant orange tree in a cemetery, the ground underneath it littered with spent leaves. The background is a kaleidoscope of color from other trees also changing clothes for fall, a small pink tree drawing the eye despite its small size.

See.. just there..

forming ripples in the world

#sundaypixmirror
It a picture of the winter, the bracken copper brown. In the woodland, weathered tree trunks, for clamber up and settle down. It feel a special place, it all lit up with setting sun, which falls into the rainpool, where the magic colours run. Trees dance in the water, they are both real and a mirage. And our reflections turn to stories, as the sunlight turns to stars

A Little AutumnOWL #ShareMondays2025

Excuse the pun 🤭 A favourite pair of #LittleOwls have been twit-t-wooing recently 🦉🦉😉 Lovely to watch them preening each other! #nature #wildlife #birding @theroyalparks.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @ldnwildlifetrust.bsky.social #fujifilm_uk
A dark scene looking up into a bare tree with a heavily weathered branch crossing the scene from lower left corner to just above the middle of the right edge. Even though the sun has just set, the background is a tapestry of blurred Autumn-coloured leaves, the yellow being the most prominent. Patches of deep blue sky show through the bokeh leaves. Two little owls are perched on the branch. They are sitting close together, their bodies at a fourty five degree angle to the viewer, but facing straight down the lens of the camera. The bigger of the owls, sat on the left, is the female. Her feathers are puffed up creating a rugby ball like profile. The male sitting to the right is shorter and more slender. His eyes are wide showing the yellow colour that tells us that these are owls that hunt in daylight as well as dusk. In common with almost every little owl that I have encountered, they both glare at me with such a grumpy expressions. And that's what makes them so very endearing! Here's the RSPB's description of a little owl - This small owl was introduced to the UK in the 19th century. It can be seen in the daylight, usually perching on a tree branch, telegraph pole or rock. It will bob its head up and down when alarmed. In flight, it has rounded wings, rapid wingbeats and flies with a slight bounce. Breeding Bird Survey data suggests that Little Owl numbers are declining, with the UK population estimated to be down by 24 per cent between 1995 and 2008. It’s 21 to 23 cm long, with a wingspan of 54 to 58cm. The feathers are cream/buff, brown and white, with yellow legs and a brown/black beak.

Good morning.
The image shows a vibrant outdoor scene viewed through a window frame. In the background, a large bush or tree with striking bright pink foliage dominates the upper half. Below it, a weathered wooden fence stretches across the mid-ground. In the foreground, green leafy plants with a few small, light purple flowers are visible.

@poetrybrum.bsky.social 🌳 You can read Issue 11.5, exploring the fragility and endurance of nature, here: poetrybirmingham.com/current-issue
Mammoth contemporary, she has been fruiting for four thousand years. Branches twist into minotaur horns, rising from a hollow labyrinth of roots. The vast trunk is bulbous, beautiful; rippled bark tenses like a muscle in the calf of a crouching titan. She is a monument, outlasting empires and human heartache, a weathered ark resisting drought and fire and flood. Every year, twigs plump like knuckles with olives, green currency, ready to anoint kings and restaurant crockery. Her crown is cornucopia, world basket, reaching upwards like Daphne’s arms, dwindling to wreaths. Her heartwood has worn away but, pulseless, she persists.

PASSAGE TO SANCTUARY: ARRIVAL (1994)
Digital

In the early 90s, Michael began experimenting with digital painting. Rendering was painfully slow on his Mac back then, so he brought in textures through scans of his brushwork.

A blonde woman in white dress emerges from a tunnel of reinforced concrete to view a pastoral landscape. She has discarded a trail of roses along the raised walkway out. Reinforced by bands of concrete, the passage becomes weathered and breaks down structurally, exposing a greater view at the top. Framed by the tunnel opening in the distance, a tree with a massive trunk fills the view. A mass of vegetation from the line of trees behind it form a leafy mane extending the height of the tree. A point of light flares star shaped halfway up the trunk.

This wasn’t just a little spa visit, she got everything done! Fresh stucco, new roof… girlie looks GOOD. Not bad for a 101 year old home!

My pics are from June when dragged over here on an impromptu tour with @tudoraf.bsky.social.
Color photo of a two story, extremely symmetrical dollhouse of a home clad in weathered white stucco. View of about 2/3s of the home is obscured by a large tree, but details such as the asphalt shingled roof are clearly visible. Color close-up of the home’s entrance under a recessed arch. Stucco is extremely dirty and weathered. Color photo of the arch above a lower window, which features a simple cross pattern made from smaller diamond tiles arranged around a slightly larger central diamond. This is all set into weathered and dirty stucco.

A stark, leafless dead tree stands alone in a grassy marshland, its bare twisted branches reaching dramatically toward an overcast sky. The black and white photograph emphasizes the sculptural quality of the weathered wood against billowing clouds, with water and distant treeline visible in the background. The contrast between the organic forms of the gnarled branches and the soft horizontal lines of the marsh grass creates a haunting, atmospheric landscape scene.

Stuff I saw yesterday. (Full
Description In alt text).
A small rectangular sticker on a metallic surface reads “Jesus Christ loves Dump Trucks,” printed in black serif text. Above and below the phrase are cartoon illustrations of yellow dump trucks carrying piles of brown dirt. The sticker is wet with raindrops and slightly weathered, giving it a street-art feel. A close-up photo of bright red and orange crushed fruit (strawberry tree fruits (Arbutus unedo), also known as madroño or Arbutus berries) splattered on rough asphalt. The pulp glistens with moisture, and several intact round red fruits with spiky skins lie nearby. The colors are vivid against the dark, wet pavement, creating a striking organic contrast. Inside a grand church or cathedral, a massive illuminated globe of Earth hangs suspended beneath the high wooden ceiling of St Marks Cathedral in Seattle. The globe shows Africa and Europe prominently. Warm golden chandeliers hang around it, and tall white columns frame the space, creating a sense of awe and reverence. A nighttime street scene with a full moon glowing behind drifting clouds. The moonlight creates a soft halo, while a house in the foreground is warmly lit from within. Power lines stretch across the scene, adding a sense of quiet suburban stillness under a luminous sky.

Perch of Patience

My dog Charlie and I passed a perched turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) during our Monday walk. ...

1/2

#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #vulture #TurkeyVulture
A lone turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) perches on a bare tree branch against a backdrop of clear blue sky. Its posture is upright and deliberate, wings folded tightly to its sides, as if in quiet vigilance. The bird’s plumage is dark—rich brown to black—with lighter brown edging along the wing feathers, giving its silhouette a textured, layered appearance. Its head is featherless and strikingly red, a fleshy crown that contrasts sharply with the dark body. The beak is pale and hooked, designed for its role as nature’s cleaner. The vulture’s gaze, though not directly visible, feels implied—watchful, patient, and ancient. The branch it rests on is weathered and bare, offering no distraction from the bird’s presence. The sky behind is a pure, uninterrupted blue, casting the vulture in stark relief. There’s no movement, no clutter—just the solemn figure of a scavenger priest, presiding over the quiet air. The photograph, signed “© Swede’s Photographs,” captures not just a bird, but a sovereign moment of ecological reverence.
