Things that surprise me. I had never seen a cow with so many accessories. I was told that the object in its mouth is a weaning device, but these cows seem too big to still be nursing.🤨 #Cows #CasualPhoto #Animals #Countryside #Austria

Autumn arrived, and this industrious forest wanderer began building a tunnel—though I do not know whether it is for a food store, a place for its young, or simply a spot to spend the winter in peace. #MacroPhotography #DungBeetle #Autumn #Insects #Forests
A close-up photograph of a dung beetle with a black shell—featuring bluish and greenish metallic highlights—peering out from the entrance of a tunnel it has just excavated in the soil of a forest path. Blades of green grass and fragments of dry leaves crisscross in front of the burrow.

A male dragonfly of the genus *Sympetrum* perches upright—almost vertically—on the sharp, dry tip of a long aquatic plant leaf. The dragonfly’s body is a deep, vibrant red, featuring a slender, segmented abdomen. Its thin black legs grip the leaf firmly. Its four wings are transparent, displaying an intricate network of dark veins, and are angled slightly backward. Most striking are its huge compound eyes; occupying most of the head and colored a dark reddish hue, they gaze intently forward. The background is a soft, pleasing blur (bokeh) of diffused green vegetation and gentle blue sky, which makes the insect's red form stand out.
