The absolutely stunning Painted Bat (Kerivuola picta) that roosts in old banana leaf tips (sometimes in our garden!). Digital collage from urban decay photos 🦇🦇🦇 #animalart #wildlifeart #bats #collage #noai #paintedbat buymeacoffee.com/adrianhillma... for a $5 digital download

Digital collage artwork of a painted bat (Kerivuola picta) flying out from the inverted cone of a banana plant's dying leaf-tip. The bat with its wings spread is flying downwards as it drops out from the leaf and is a stunning pattern of a bright orange body with wings of the same orange colour plus large black patches. The background is dark blue with some large, dark green banana leaves and the crumpled remains of a dried leaf-tip at the top - it is this leaf-tip that provides the bat with a secure day-time roost. Created from a variety of macro photographs of weathered urban surfaces.

Today's Bird of the Day theme is "Bird Supermodel" This pic I took of a Cattle Egret in Arrecife in 2020 always looked to me like it was one from the bird's modelling portfolio. #BirdOfTheDay #BirdSupermodel #BirdsOfBluesky #StrikeAPose #Nature #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #ECK #EastCoastKin

Portrait-oriented, 3:2 photo.

A sunlit, white bird is standing in a tree with its breast facing the camera. Its head is turned backwards in what could be a dramatic pose for the camera but is in reality just because the egret is preening the feathers over its shoulder.

Soft focus palm leaves in the foreground and blue sky in the background.

An asphalt road with barbed wire lead the eyes to rows of trees. The front row is shorter and had deep red leaves, the second row is tall and has golden colored leaves. Beyond are the Sierra Nevada Mountains with a light coating of snow. The sky is cloudy and somewhat dark. To the left of the road and barbed wire is a golden field. Carson Valley, Nevada.

Anyone have a nature photo they think would make a neat drawing and you don't mind my using it as a reference with proper credit? Birds, critters, flowers, plants? Drop one in a comment for my eternal gratitude 💜

Guten Morgen 🍁

Ein schmaler Asphaltweg schlängelt sich durch eine herbstliche Landschaft unter einem leicht bewölkten, blauen Himmel. Auf der linken Seite erstrahlt eine Reihe von Laubbäumen in kräftigen Orange-, Gelb- und Goldtönen im Sonnenlicht, während sich rechts ein dichter Wald aus grünen Nadelbäumen und gelblich verfärbten Laubbäumen erstreckt. Auf dem Weg und den Grasstreifen liegen bereits die ersten herabgefallenen Blätter. Die Szene wirkt sonnig, ruhig und herbstlich.
