Pictures of things that caught my eye. All images are mine unless it's a repost or stated otherwise. No money requests. No hitting on me. No shady offers to buy other people's images from me (!!). No flirty messages from young ladies, lol. Thank you.

This is a Checker Lily, they have a nearly checkerboard pattern on the pedals, big yellow stamen, and blurry background.

Taken on 18th of April 2024, Oregon Fawn Lilies (Erythronium oregonum) along the Santiam River. The lilies were only 5-6 inches tall, with upturned white petals and yellow centers. In a patch of green grass with brush, big trees and blue sky above

It has felt like a long winter and I'm looking forward to seeing plants again! Canada Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) is one of my favourites. It's such a unique spring bloom. I painted it in watercolours & gouache, using a plant from my Gran's garden as reference. #sciart #springflowers #natureart

Nestled in a field of Bluebonnets, the vibrant red & yellow of the single Indian Paintbrush flower stands out. Indian Paintbrush also known as Prairie-Fire wildflowers bloom in April and can be found in fields beside Bluebonnets or in a flowering bunch. The rural Texas meadows come alive with these radiant flowers.

Zombie Fungi: Fact vs. Fiction Explore the concept of zombie fungi and its unsettling link to the fascination with zombies in popular culture.

The concept of zombie fungi blurs the line between reality and fiction, captivating imaginations. Cordyceps and other fungi manipulate host behavior for reproduction, reminiscent of zombie myths. #zombies #fungi connectparanormal.net/2024/09/21/z...

A small mostly orange and brown (but with touches of white, black, blue and yellow) butterfly feeling on the many small white flowers of a winter heather. Not a great pic but it was clearly verty busy and  had no patience with my nonsense.

A vibrant, close-up shot of a single bright yellow daffodil bending slightly downward in the foreground. It sits amongst green blades of grass. Behind it, a softly blurred background shows a sunlit field filled with patches of purple, white, and more yellow spring flowers, extending towards a dark green out-of-focus hedge. The lighting is warm and sunny, creating a cheerful springtime mood.

Gorgeous nodding daffodils at Marlay Park! The blurred background of spring crocuses makes it feel so vibrant. A perfect sign of brighter days ahead in Dublin! 🌼

Even on gloomy days we have little rays of sunshine in the garden.
These Primula vulgaris have joined our snowdrops, crocus, and daffodils now blooming.
