Nature is the artist ❤️ These emerging grasses within the lake at Lough Boora caught my eye. The water so still, the perfect reflection created the most beautiful natural sculpture 💕 @peatlandecr.bsky.social @communitywetlands.bsky.social @tocharstories.bsky.social @claireissimo.bsky.social

Always magical to find this tiny little beauty, Green Elfcup fungi. What a colour to find in nature 💚 I found this little beauty in Abbeyleix bog's wet woodland a few years ago, one of those beautiful crisp Autumnal mornings @peatlandecr.bsky.social @communitywetlands.bsky.social

Thanks, I do like the dreaminess of shallow depth of field but I do dabble in hand held stacked shots too, but only a small area within the shot that I want in full sharp focus. Happy experimenting with your new gear!!

Tina Claffey Photography @tinaclaffey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Yes, they are single shots, lens wide open hence the shallow depth of field. Very Dark woodland, snall shafts of light breaking through. I also had a small LED light that I could direct at specific areas.

Devil's Bits Scabious is such an important late bloomer for our insects 💕 I love when it is on the cusp of bursting into bloom, like a little purple pincushion! @peatlandecr.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @tocharstories.bsky.social @communitywetlands.bsky.social

Walking in the wet woodland of Killaun in 2020, and accidentally kicking over a well rotted branch, and I noticed this tiny little fungi. When I looked at it through the macro lens I was blown away by its beauty. This is a Mycena species, the Dewdrop Bonnet @peatlandecr.bsky.social

This Birch Shieldbug was on Devil's Bit Scabious, and its beauty took my breath away when I viewed it through the macro lens. Covered in misty dew, his shield shaped back appeared like he was covered in precious jewels. Magical encounter ♥️ @peatlandecr.bsky.social @irishwildlifetrust.bsky.social

Lesser Bladderwort doesn't get enough nutrients from the bog and has adapted to survive. The bladder sacs within the undergrowth that the flower grows on at the bog pool release a scent into the bog pool that attracts tiny microscopic life. The bladder sacs open,they are sucked inside and digested.

Thanks so much Claire, it had just opened, flowers not open, so was beautifully pink!!! I'm always mesmerised by them, beautiful when they go to seed too. Most around this one already gone to seed!

The sphagnum mosses are grateful for this deluge of rain after such a long dry spell... holding over 20 times their own weight in water, they are life giving natural sponges ❤️ @sphagnums.bsky.social @communitywetlands.bsky.social @tocharstories.bsky.social @peatlandecr.bsky.social

It was such a pleasure to photograph the rare Pipewort wildflower in the heart of Connemara, at the edge of a bog pool. Its little spherical head mesmerising when viewed from the top! @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @peatlandecr.bsky.social @communitywetlands.bsky.social @tocharstories.bsky.social
