I’ve been trying to get a #macro shot like this for years. It’s not the best, but I’ll keep looking for the right setup and conditions. #ColorADay #PinkMon #MacroMonday #RaindropsOnRoses #Roses #BloomScrolling #Raindrops #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

A macros shot of tiny crystal raindrop orbs line the edge of a green rose leaf. The foreground is the green of the left and some other blurred raindrops, and the background is full pink because of a rose behind the raindrops, and the raindrops are creating a lens that shows a teeny-tiny upside down version of the pink rose. When I was young, I saw work from another PNW photographer who did this with sunflowers, and I have dreamed of getting a shot like this my entire life. This still isn’t as good as his was, but it’s closer than I’ve ever come before, and I will keep trying!

Got some puffy clouds and #BlueSkyMonday #blue over the high #desert for you today. #Landscape #ID #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

Shaggy, puffy white and gray clouds break with patches of clear blue sky over the golden-lion and brown colored hills of grass and sagebrush of central Idaho between Arco and Mountain Home.

This sunny #orange flower is a stunner! #StunDay #ColorADay #OrangeSun #Flowers #BloomScrolling #Macro #PNW #ECK #Autumn #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp

Closeup of a deep orange flower in the sun. Blurry greenery behind it. It has a yellow center, a muted orange ring around the center of the petals, and then the shiny, soft petals go completely deep orange all the way to their gently pointed tips.

These little friends are so sneaky. But I found this one at the local college’s horticultural #gardens. #TreeFrogs #Frogs #Amphibians #Macro #ColorADay #GreenSat #PNW #ECK #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter

Macro shot of a tiny, green Pacific chorus tree frog, wedged between two broad green leaves of some kind of plant of the same color. Friend is probably only about 3 centimeters long.

Also, these #lights in the #Grotto in #PDX. What a lovely place for contemplation. #BlueSkyArtShow #Warm #PNW #ECK #Art #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp

A black, iron candelabra of 7 warm-light electric candela affixed to the dark gray, dark brown and dark green of a shaded, basaltic cliff wall with moss and green ferns growing nearby. This is at the Grotto in Portland, Oregon.

I love this #HotStickSaturday specimen. It’s a kind of lace #lichen hanging on a tree twig at the #OregonCoast. #Fungi #FungiFriends #Macro #MacroPhotography #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter

Dappled morning sunlight falls on a tree twig draped with fascinating, strands of pale swag green lace lichen. The strands kind of look like tiny, uneven, organic ladders or unwound strands of DNA. Kinda cool.

Into the archives for this. The #SpaceNeedle in #Seattle at #night many years ago with its #lights, and #raindrops falling that also look like lights. #Art #Photography #Retro #Urban #ClassicMono #Monochrome #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

An old monochrome film shot of Seattle’s Space Needle on a rainy night. It was raining hard, but I wanted the shot, so raindrops fell on the lens, creating this effect of the lights dancing around it in the dark. It’s a grainy old shot, but I’ve always loved it.

“Like animals removed from their natural habitat, Canadians experience adversity when they disconnect from nature because, as a species, humans quite simply cannot thrive in a built environment.”

A little something for #FlyDay… this little Anna’s #hummibgbird friend (Janice) who surveyed her kingdom with the setting sun some days ago. #Birds #Wildlife #Trees #Autumn #NatureIsArt #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp

A little female Anna’s hummingbird perches on a bent stem of a vine maple tree that’s losing its leaves. She is mostly gray with hints of green and sits against a clear, pale blue sky. The vine maple has already lost many of its leaves due to drought and the seasonal changes, but the one’s still present around the lower and left parts of the picture are still green with bits of yellow and red.

May your long and winding roads take you through the forest today. #ForestFriday #Scape #Forests #Trees #Woods #Hiking #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp

A reddish brown forest trail winds through thick, green, mossy undergrowth, and a dense stand of Sitka spruce, Douglas fir and cedar trees in the Oregon Coast Range east of Lincoln City. Dappled, golden-hour, late-afternoon sunlight filters in from the right.

Pictured Rocks in Michigan

Pictured Rocks in Michigan.

Beautiful green-blue water.
Cliffs with trees on top. Some chilling precariously close to the edge.
A cove.

Looks kinda like a crocodile eye to me and my #Pareidolia. It’s really just a gnarly, exposed tree root in the forest. #ForestFriday #Trees #Roots #Woods #Macro #Photography #Monochrome #ClassicMono #ColorADay #BWFri #NatureIsArt #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

A closeup, monochrome shot of the gnarly, cracked wood of an exposed tree root. To me, it looks like a crocodile or dragon eye.

The #yellow is switching from the flowers to the #leaves now, as the trees put on their flamboyant PJs. #ColorADay #YellowThu #Fall #Autumn #Ponds #Macro #Photography #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter

A closeup of an Oregon white oak leaf fallen into a tiny pond in the park. The leaf has shades of yellow, green, orange and brown. It rests on the surface because of water tension, and that bends the water where it touches the leaf, causing cool reflections from the trees above. The leaf will soon sink as water has already started to infiltrate the center already.

Oh. I actually have a #BirdOfTheDay for today’s #Raptors prompt. A wee #CoopersHawk in a coastal pine. Kinda dark, but a fun find. #Birds #Wildlife #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

A Cooper’s hawk with a dark brown back, a speckled white and brown chest, yellow therapod feet and sharp black talons perches in a shady spot of a coastal pine in the early morning light.

I was bored one evening and started playing with this picture. #WackyWednesdayArt #ArtYear #Leaf #Raindrops #AbstractArt #PhotoArt #AlteredReality #ECK #PNW #Imagine #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

An altered reality, abstract edit of a picture of a lead lying on the deck. Playing with saturated colors and swirls, I turned the grays of the deck into swirling blues that look stream like, and the leaf has magenta, blue, purple, and yellow with raindrops on it. Very silly.

#Dragonfly season is quickly passing. This #red #autumn meadowhawk perched on the bamboo sticks we have placed around the garden for their benefit. #ColorADay #RedWed #Insects #Invertebrates #Macro #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter

Closeup of a red autumn meadowhawk dragonfly perched on the top of a bamboo garden stake. The background is a flat, blurred gray, which is against one of the fences. We have bamboo stakes in many of our garden containers and once in awhile dragonflies will perch there. Usually, they perch in the sun, but I’ve seen the autumn meadowhawks perch in the shady spots more than once.

I get so excited by #water #textures. The glassy, but speckled surface of this lake was hypnotic. #WaterWednesday #Lakes #PNW #NatureIsArt #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter

The golden hour surface of Devil’s Lake just along the Oregon Coast reflects the sky and tree branches in wavy, oblong shapes of light blue and dark green and shades of white, light gray and brown.
