I think this might be my favorite photo in my collection. It's the one I picture being on the cover of a book if I ever make one someday. The light, her face, the way she's supporting the kitten so lovingly. ❤️ No date/info.

Street lamps, vehicles and the Chicago skyline #lights appear on bright display in a view from South Canal Street. It's a warm autumn night. September 2026. #BlueskyArtShow #ChicagoNocturnal #photography #nightshot #cityscape #Chicago
The cars' lights are blurred due to their speed and appear in different hues of white, light blue, yellow and red. Three street lamps are nearby, and their lights are shown in a star pattern. The lights of the distant skyline, with the Willis Tower at the center, appear in a warmer tone against a dark sky.

A beautiful expanse of the Arizona desert appears under the early spring sun. Courthouse Butte is on the left. April 2022. #Scape #FridayScape #CourthouseButte #RedRock #Arizona #photography #travel #hiking #desert
View from a high vantage point. The Courthouse Butte is taller than the photo's point of view and has a massive and slanted shape on a light red color. On the right side, a few meters away, there is a red rock cliff with a few bushes. The valley below, speckled with green bushes, extends many miles toward an horizon with brown hills, under a deep blue sky.

One of the best times to visit Tunnel View is near sunset. As a prelude to the clouds lighting up, alpenglow hits the peaks on the south side of Yosemite Valley and Bridalveil Falls. Yosemite National Park #nationalparks #scenery #mountains #views #roadtrips #Yosemite
The forested valley floor (Yosemite Valley) sprawls in the foreground and cuts between El Capitan on the left and Bridalveil Falls on the right. Alpenglow lights up the peaks on the right.

• The Turquoise Mirror of Plitvice Plitvice Lakes National Park Plitvička Jezera, Croatia #Photography #Photo #Paysage #Landschaft #Scape #Landscape #Landscapephotography #Nature #Naturephotography #Travel #TravelPhoto #TravelPhotography #Outdoor #Outdoorphotography #Lake #Plitvice #Croatia •
The photograph captures a natural landscape typical of Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia, where the water's clarity, small waterfalls, and lush vegetation create a scene of great harmony and rich color. In the center of the image, a series of small cascades tumbles down through rock formations, flowing into a lake with turquoise and emerald-green hues. The water's transparency reveals submerged roots, stones on the lakebed, and reflections of the surrounding vegetation. The shoreline is framed by a dense forest of trees varying in size and shades of green

“Through the hush one hears the tuneless drone of insects, lulling fears and hopes alike. A sense half understood, of something sweet that was and is no more, stirs in the heart. ‘Summer is gone,’ we say.” — Emily Shaw Forman (1827-1908).
Nine-photo collage of late-summer insects among colourful flowers. Six furry bumblebees feed on purple, pink and blue blooms, two red admiral butterflies rest on yellow and lilac flowers, and a white butterfly visits pink verbena. Soft green, gold and violet backgrounds give the photographs a warm, fading-summer feel.

The image shows part of the Mont Blanc massif. On the left is the Aiguille Noire du Peutèrey (3,773 m), on the right the south-east face of Mont Blanc (4,807 m), and in the centre the Brenva Glacier. At the bottom, the Dora di Val Veny stream flows through the rocks, and all around there is sparse coniferous vegetation.

Five photos of orange zinnias in different angles from my garden. From  yellow orange to orange-red petals or ray florets,  semi double to fully double, and prominent centre part called disk resembling a crown with small yellow petals and where the anthers are that produces pollen.  All photos are of single zinnia, except for the middle grid on the right that has two zinnias side by side and these two are very similar to dahlias. Green leaves in backgound and soil

Good day, good people💕 Today I'm opting for a lazy stroll-no rushing, just slowing down to soak in all the beauty that's unfolding. I hope today finds you well & brings you peace🕊️ #wellbeing #photography #nature #time #lazySaturday #lookaround #lifeisbeautiful
A little stone bridge over a small ravine(not pictured) bordering a well defined dirt path. The trees that overhang the little bridge are changing with the season, still greenish but leaning into gold. Fallen leaves litter the bridge & trail. The end of the trail is not visible as it bends and winds out of sight. Sky is not visible but clouds are making it feel even more like autumn
