Smurfs Log: Lucky

* Not only was I lucky enough to see a stoat up close today (see previous post), but this afternoon I finally found some of those tiny, fluffy, woolly creatures other people have been spotting. This one was kind enough to bring her two little lambs with her, too.

#TinyBalancingSheep #Defaidodon #SheepOfMastodon #Nature #Photography

The dominant feature in the immediate foreground is a large, thick, weathered wooden fence post. It has a square profile, a rough texture with visible cracks and grain, and is heavily covered in green moss or algae. Standing atop are three tiny sheep. On the right is a larger, fluffy, brownish-grey sheep facing forward. To its left are two smaller, dark brown lambs standing close together, looking toward the camera. Because of the perspective, they appear to be standing directly on top of the large wooden post, creating a playful, layered effect.

#LeafScrolling #Nature #Photography

A vertical, close-up photograph capturing the detailed texture of a large green Hosta leaf. The image is dominated by the leaf's parallel venation. Prominent, deeply grooved veins radiate upward and outward from a central midrib, creating a strong sense of symmetry and leading the eye vertically through the frame. Between these main veins, a delicate, web-like network of smaller secondary veins is visible. The color palette is composed of rich, moody shades of deep forest green, olive, and near-black. The lighting is low-key and dramatic, coming primarily from above. This casts deep shadows within the grooves and valleys of the leaf, sharply accentuating its ribbed texture and giving the image a somber, organic, and mysterious atmosphere.

​When was the last time you visited a place of peace like this?

#alps #landscapephotography #lakelife #mountainlove #mountains #nature #naturelovers #outdoors

A vertical landscape photograph of an idyllic, crystal-clear mountain lake in the Alps. In the foreground, large, grey, partly moss-covered rocks and lush green grasses line the shore. The lake's water shimmers in deep shades of turquoise and emerald green, making parts of the lakebed visible. In the background, a dense, vibrant green coniferous and mixed forest stretches out, perfectly reflecting on the calm surface of the water. Above the scenery, a dynamic blue sky with soft, white cloud formations unfolds. The image evokes a peaceful and untouched atmosphere.

A close-up of a chestnut leaf taken from below against the light; the fresh green seems to glow. The backlighting clearly reveals the leaf’s structure.

This is one of my favourite images I've ever taken - a pivotal moment in how I saw my images, and a moment that marked a moment of progression in my journey in the #Art of #Photography

I took it while balanced on the edge of a cliff, capturing what was a gloomy canyon scene before we were blown away as the sun cut through the overcast skies. Illuminating the mist and the damp foliage below.

A narrow stream winds deep into a misty old-growth rainforest canyon, framed by thick moss-covered branches and towering conifers with soft light filtering through the fog above. The lush green moss, dramatic depth, and ethereal mist create a deeply immersive and enchanting Pacific Northwest forest scene.

#Landscape #Nature #RoadTrip #Travel #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of an old small oddly shaped barn, a green pasture, and rolling hills in the background. A small hill on the left has a couple of conifer trees on it. There's a gate and fence on the left with the barn on the right. It is an odd shape with a long sloped roof on the left and a much shorter roof on the right. The sky of blue and dotted is small puffy clouds.

Picture of an iris from above. It has three petals open that are white with cool purple veins running through it. Yellow in the center peaks through curled up petals. This picture was from yesterday. I’ve fallen asleep three times trying to post this picture.

Please enjoy this sky feather, courtesy of the random beauty of nature.

A very white cloud in a very blue sky but the shape is unusual. It looks very much like a white feather with a distinctive central spine, slightly twisted like an ancient quill, with feathery wisps spreading out.

Blue and Magenta

#BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography

A cornflower with a dense, intricate cluster of deep blue and magenta disk florets. The petals split at the ends into delicate, feather-like fringes, giving the flower its signature starburst or ragged appearance. The background is composed of softly blurred, deep green lance-shaped leaves. This shallow depth of field creates a strong contrast, making the vivid blues and purples of the blossom vividly pop forward.

#science #nature #weather
Fog frightened our ancestors as they didn't know what could be lurking in the depths of it. But now scientists have found that fog is alive- alive with bacteria. Bacteria that are growing. However they help to break down pollutants in the air. A study found that they swiftly broke down formaldehyde probably for self preservation, but good news for us too. sciencealert.com/fog-is-teemin…

Fog Is Teeming With Life, And It May Be Doing Us a Surprising Favor : ScienceAlert

There's something living in the fog – but you'll be glad to know that it's mostly friendly.

Splash of Purple

#BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography

A close-up of a single, vibrant purple allium flower, growing up through a gap in a rustic wooden bench. A perfectly spherical, deep violet flower head made up of dozens of tiny, star-shaped blossoms. The intricate structure of the umbel radiates outward from the center. The weathered, graying wood planks run diagonally across the frame, providing a stark, neutral contrast that makes the rich purple color pop intensely.

A rarely seen bird in our garden: a Baltimore Oriole. He tried to get some syrup, clinging upside down to the hummingbird feeder, with limited success. Don't have an orange in the house 😢.
He looks judgmental!

#WesternTrillium.
This is an older Western trillium, in urban forest. They're usually all white. As they get older(takes many years), you'll see shades of pink & purple petals.
Please never disturb Western trilliums in the wild. They are extremely sensitive native plants & need to be left alone to visually admire. Western trillium takes up to 15 years to flower. Once it has been picked/heavily disturbed, it dies. Please leave them growing 🙏

Another fiddlehead

#Ferniverse #Nature #Photography

The central focus is the tightly coiled tip of the fern frond. It creates a natural, elegant spiral shape. The outer edge of the main curve is highlighted with a delicate, silvery fuzz or hair. Inside the spiral, you can see the dense, repeating geometric patterns of the tiny, individual leaflets packed closely together before they expand. The image is dominated by deep, rich shades of green.

There's something magical about a walk in light rain; a sense of intimacy, a note of vulnerability.

Sharing a couple small discoveries from today. Stay safe.
