Close-up of a single elongated autumn leaf in shades of rose pink, magenta and pale yellow, photographed in a Cheshire garden. Fine branching veins form an intricate network across the leaf's textured surface, with a prominent yellow central vein. The leaf hangs vertically from a reddish stem against a softly blurred background of green, pink and brown foliage.

A two minute exposure of clouds moving over the #BrucePeninsula, Ontario for #ColourADay #BWFri

The pattern in the clouds is caused by a gusting wind slowing down and speeding up the clouds.

Not a planned image, I had noticed the Milky Way while doing a long exposure of star trails and and made the image before packing up for the night.

#BirdOfTheDay #Eating #doves #birds #photography #backyardphotography #wck 📷🪶

A male Mourning Dove eating a seed on top of a wood fence. He stares at the camera with his black eye encircled by pale blue skin. He has a pale blue crown and nape, and a pale pink head and underside. His wings are light gray and brown with black spots above the tail. His feet are pinkish red. In the background are green leaves, pink flowers, and a yellow grapefruit. Lighting and colors adjusted due to poor lighting. It's a happy photo with a happy bird and pastel colors.
