The special ingredient to get this Clivia to bloom in such a spectacular way (each flower has a diameter of ~6 cm) is time, in this case about 55 years.

Spring sun grazes at a shallow angle the forest floor covered with gray-brown autumn leaves. Some of them, by chance standing upright, are backlit and glow like amber for a few precious moments.

Feral fence posts. It's ironic that devices intended to contain life horizontally become biotopes of vertical wilderness.

The first cranes parading with their spring formation, what a lovely noise!

A winner of the RSPCA Young Photographer Awards 2025: A red-backed shrike in Cambridgeshire. Makes me triply hopeful: (1) beautiful bird/habitat, (2) there are young persons with patience & passion for nature, (3) & competitions encouraging such young people. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fallen birch leaves turn from yellow to black while fallen leaves of oak or beech show various shades of brown. I wonder whether the yellow -> black transition is due to a particular fungus. Left & right are about 2 km apart. Today.

Central station fauna just observed: a mouse has dragged a French fry longer than its own body to a safe place, and is now nibbling it away. In contrast to mice in the wild these animals are unimpressed by passersby.

What looks like an inconspicuous cloudscape has on closer inspection a faint streak in the lower left: hundreds of cranes flying at high altitude in huge, very noisy formations South to their winter habitats. Makes one painfully aware of the passing of time. Photo from yesterday.
