A panoramic photo taken from the top of Cerro San Luis mountain has dry vegetation in the foreground. Just below is a sea of fog stretching across the large valleys in San Luis Obispo and Los Osos, California. Four mountain tops poke through the fog, which belong to the collective Nine Sisters...A series of nine volcanic plugs from San Luis Obispo to Morro Rock. The sky is pale blue.

A minimalist black and white photograph of a single, delicate white feather floating on a deep black, gently rippling water surface. The feather reflects perfectly downward in the calm water, creating a symmetrical image full of stillness, solitude, and soft melancholy.

Rolling Stones Gather Moss Moss on every rock and a creek running through it in Spiegelau, Germany. A forest this green is hard to beat. #EastCoastKin #Photography #Scape #ForestFriday #LandscapePhotography #Fuji #PhotographersofBlueSky #PhotographersUnited

A vertical view of a small creek running through a green mixed forest. In the foreground, large boulders covered in thick moss and lichen crowd the left side and bottom of the frame, with dark shadow pooling beneath them. The creek enters at the lower right and bends away into the distance, its surface smoothed to a silky blur, with a pale band of tumbling white water at the center. Tall slender trunks of birch, beech and conifer rise on both sides, their leaves and needles filling the upper frame in layered greens. Pink wildflowers bloom along the right bank, and a single orange leaf hangs near the upper right.

The stream is a long S-curve that leads the eye from the dark foreground rocks, past the bright cascade, and into the forest. The long exposure turns moving water into a calm, pale ribbon that contrasts with the rough, sharply detailed moss. The palette is almost entirely analogous greens, so the single orange leaf stands out as a small warm accent. The mood is quiet and enclosed, a small, close look at a forest that rewards slowing down.

Tuesday evening at Blue Lake in the North Cascades. The last sunlight lit up the rocky spires of the Liberty Bell Group, with golden larches surrounding the lake. I was really glad I stayed long enough to see the mountains light up like this. 🍂🏔️ #GoldenLarches #LandscapePhotography

Jagged granite spires of the Liberty Bell Group glow orange in the last evening sunlight above Blue Lake in the North Cascades. Golden larches and dark evergreen trees cover the rocky slopes below. The calm, deep blue lake reflects the forest and a large mountain on the right. A tall golden larch frames the left foreground beneath a pale blue sky. The scene feels peaceful and still.

Macro of a female bee captured in a head-on portrait. Facing directly forward on the bright yellow center disk of a wildflower with white petals, she has a broad black head and a heavily dimpled black thorax. Distinct bands of dense white hairs line the margins of her large compound eyes and facial vertex, while her mandibles point downward into the florets. To her stage-right, a vertical stalk holds multiple unopened green buds and a single blooming cluster, with a tiny black ant scaling the stem. The background is a dark, uniform green bokeh blur.

A fancy brown and white streaky bird with yellow legs and a very very long straight beak is strutting across some matted reeds at the edge of a lake. There are some cattails in the background. The bird looks totally confident and is striding with purpose.

This was definitely a surprise for us in Montana last year. As soon as we parked and got out of the vans at Glacier Park Lodge we heard raptors calling from a group of large pines right next to the parking lot. We went to explore and were amazed to find a pair of nesting Merlins! #birdphotography

Macro of an ambush bug perched on a rounded cluster of small white Mexican clover flowers. The insect is positioned at the top right, facing toward its right, showcasing a heavily textured, jagged black and yellow exoskeleton with prominent ridges on its thorax. Its pale yellow legs grip the tiny blossoms. Extending out to its left, a vibrant green leaf holds an organized, geometric raft of small, oblong, cream-colored eggs arranged in neat rows. The entire scene is set against a smooth, warm bokeh background of sunlit yellow-green tones.

Short-eared owls, definitely fall into the super model category with their smoky eye makeup and flight drama. Divas. From this past January in Skagit Valley, I’m planning a couple of trips north to see them again this coming winter. #BirdOfTheDay #BirdSuperModel #Shorties #Owls #Birds 📷🦉📸

More experienced birders identified this as a female Short-eared Owl. she is a checkered/speckled brown and buff with a large buff facial disc outlined in white. Her eyes are a brilliant yellow with a dark outline, like smoky eyeliner. She’s sitting on a metal post near the road in front of large marshy fields called the West 90 area on the Samish Flats.

A stunning red-vented bulbul posing on a thick branch with white bark. The bird has a black head, beak, and eye, black feathers tipped with white around the breast, a white belly, and a black scalloped tail with white tips. Its body is mostly facing camera and its head is turned up and to the left in a disinterested-model pose. The background is green, gold, and brown bokeh from a blurred tree above the branch and blue and white below.
