Lizard of the day: Tessellated gecko! An Australian terrestrial species! Their body colours are varied from pale greys to rich reds with highly variable patterns! During the day, they may be found resting hidden in burrows and cracks. They emerge at night to feed on insects!

Time for another #AwesomeBirds #WildOz edition. This predatory songbird has one of the most beautiful songs in the bush. They’re extra chatty right now, reinforcing the pair bond at the start of the breeding season.

Vasaristi juga 🥾 #Parksi #Lahemaa #IhikeEstonia
Photo in portrait orientation of the Vasaristi waterfall (cascade) in Lahemaa National Park, Estonia, during autumn. A gentle, multi-tiered limestone waterfall flows over mossy rock ledges, framed by trees with vibrant yellow and green autumn foliage. The forest floor, stream banks, and rocks are covered in a dense layer of fallen golden-yellow leaves, with a moss-covered log lying in the foreground stream.

The stream hums low, leaves rustle, and the forest eases into its next season. May we protect places like this—unbuilt, unsold, and alive with their own pulse. Take care, friends 🤝💖 #PNW #nature #hiking #mobilephotography
A narrow forest stream winds through a dense, mossy woodland, framed by layers of deep green foliage. Dark, wet rocks break the surface of the clear water, creating small ripples and gentle movement as the stream flows from the background toward the foreground. The forest floor is carpeted with thick, bright green moss and low plants, giving the ground a soft, almost glowing texture. On both sides of the stream, tall trees rise with sturdy trunks and wide branches, many of them draped in moss. Their leaves range from rich summer green to hints of yellow, suggesting the very beginning of autumn. Sunlight filters softly through the canopy, creating dappled patches of light and shadow on the water, rocks, and moss. The overall mood is quiet and serene, as if this is a secluded, untouched part of the forest where the ecosystem feels balanced and alive.

Macro of a rather large (~1” (2.5cm)) female jumping spider resting beneath the curve of a vibrant green hairypod cowpea leaf. Facing forward, she showcases her large, round, dark anterior median eyes centered on a tan cephalothorax. Her chelicerae and face are densely covered in long, fine, pale blonde hairs that form a thick beard texture. Her spiky, hair-covered legs extend upward to firmly grip the underside of the leaf blade. The lower foreground features a softly blurred green leaf edge, while the background melts into a dark, warm green bokeh blur.
