The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Sunrise. Cascade foothills. Dark landscape, elevated trees with low clouds through them, tops exposed, purple rolling mountains behind, with pink sky and streaks of purple clouds.

One more from this morning. My favorite group of trees. Cascade foothills and mountains. 💜🩷

View across a snowy garden, looking at some large clumps of grasses in the foreground and greenhouses behind. The sky is blue with some fluffy clouds.

It was bonny at work today.

Traces carved by the wind, like secrets whispered by the sea… The sky is heavy, the waves restless, yet the horizon still glows with hope. Some storms do not break you — they bring you closer to yourself. 🌬️🌅

Isn’t it lovely? I was weeding and it started snowing, so very appropriate!

Small group of a pale blue Iris, with some pale pink Erica carnea R. B. Cooke in between. The pale colours are set against the dark earth.

Photo of an orange lichen growing flat on rock. There’s a hole in the rock which creates a hole in the centre of the lichen. The hole is in the shape of a heart which gives the impression that the lichen has a black heart at its centre.

For the day.
Rusavskia elegans showing its heart to the world (a bit of a dark heart 😐).

In the distance a lone Duck is absorbed into the Lagoon’s cloud reflection. It is the only visual difference from the water reflection to sky.

I sometimes despair that the camera can never really capture just how amazing the natural world can be. But sometimes, just sometimes, the winter light hits those reeds and all those reflections pop... #birds #birdphotography #birding #photooftheday #photography #NatureIsAmazing
