#WavyWednesday #Photography

A photograph showing the shadows of two people cast onto a body of water. The shadows are long and dark, suggesting the sun is low in the sky. The two figures are standing next to each other, with the shadow on the left being slightly smaller and leaning on a railing. The shadow on the right is taller and stands upright. The railing itself casts horizontal and vertical shadow lines across the water, creating a grid-like pattern. The water surface is dark and reflective, with some ripples visible, and a lighter, more blurred area at the top of the frame. There's a subtle reflection of the sky.

Large Sunflower

#BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography

The camera is looking up at the sunflower, which fills the top half of the frame. The focus is sharp on the sunflower head, which has bright yellow petals and a dense, dark brown center. The petals are slightly curled and appear to be in full bloom. Large, vibrant green leaves with prominent veins are visible in the foreground, framing the bottom of the sunflower and the stem. The leaves create a sense of depth and scale, emphasizing the size of the plant. The background is a clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds, which provides a beautiful contrast to the bright colors of the sunflower and leaves. The overall impression is one of natural beauty and growth, capturing the magnificence of the sunflower from a unique perspective.

#52WochenFotoChallenge
2025/32 #Focusstacking

* As I didn't have the right equipment, I had to be creative…

#Photography

The main subject is a stack of five wooden dice with letters. Each block has a black letter on it, and together, they spell the word "FOCUS" vertically. The blocks are slightly off-kilter, giving the stack a sense of fragility or precariousness. At the base of the stack, there is a small miniature figurine of a man. He is dressed in a red jacket and a hat, and he is holding a red and white striped pole, which he appears to be using to measure the stack of blocks.

"Put Your Hands Up in the Air!"

#SilentSunday #BloomScrolling #Photography

This is a close-up, vertical shot of a small, vibrant plant. The main subject is a single, slender stem that rises from the bottom of the frame, culminating in a compact cluster of tiny, bright pink flowers at the top. The stem has a reddish-brown hue and is covered in fine, fuzzy hairs. Two long, narrow, green leaves branch out from the stem, framing the flower cluster. The background is a soft-focus blur of various shades of green.

West Frisia

#HomeSmurf #SilentSunday #Landscape #Photography

A serene rural Dutch landscape, dominated by a large, lush green field where several cows are scattered. In the foreground, a black and white cow is prominently featured, grazing with its head down. Further back, numerous other cows, some black and white and others brown and white, are resting or lying down in the grass. In the midground, a traditional Dutch windmill stands out against the horizon. It is situated next to a small building and a line of trees. The background is defined by a deep blue sky filled with dramatic, fluffy white and gray clouds.

Smurfs Log

On a more positive note, today I had some time off to visit Gooilust (my favorite walled ornamental garden).

I took lots of nice photos. Just in case anyone was wondering if this timeline would be full of (sad) stories or nice pictures the coming week 😇😇

#BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography vs #Alzheimers #Caregiving #Dementia

A vibrant, shot of a lush, overflowing garden on a sunny day. In the foreground, a profusion of flowers in various colors, including bright pinks and yellows, creates a dense and colorful tapestry. The flowers are surrounded by a variety of green plants, some with feathery foliage, In the mid-ground, nestled amongst the greenery, is a small, old outbuilding with a red tiled roof. It is partially hidden by the surrounding vegetation. The background is dominated by a dense wall of tall, leafy trees, creating a deep green canopy that frames the scene. Above, the sky is a brilliant blue with a few scattered, fluffy white clouds.

Damselfly

#InsektenSamstag #Nature #Photography

A beautiful blue damselfly resting on a large, green leaf. The damselfly is positioned diagonally across the leaf, with its head pointed toward the bottom left of the frame. Its body is a striking, vibrant blue with black markings. The thin, transparent wings are visible, and the long, slender abdomen extends to the top right. The leaf is a deep green and has a textured, ribbed surface, with clear veins visible. There is some subtle dappled light on the leaf. The background is dark and out of focus, which makes the damselfly and the leaf stand out prominently.

Cylindrical

#BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography

A single flower stalk hanging from the top of the frame. The flower is an elongated, cylindrical shape composed of many small, densely packed blossoms in shades of deep pink and maroon. The texture of the blossoms appears slightly fuzzy or spiky. The stem from which it hangs is a thin, green stalk. The background is a soft, blurry green, suggesting foliage out of focus. There is another blurred, reddish-pink object, visible in the lower right corner, also out of focus.

A scenic and tranquil Dutch landscape, with a traditional windmill on the horizon. In the foreground is a canal with lush tall, green reeds and other wild grasses.

To the right, a classic Dutch windmill with its sails is a prominent feature, standing against the horizon. The background is a vast, open sky filled with dramatic, fluffy white clouds against a deep blue sky.

Mam II

#Caregiving #Alzheimers #Dementia

#FensterFreitag #WindowFriday #Photography

An elderly person with short white hair is sitting in a chair, seen through a window. She is wearing glasses, a white shirt, and a light blue apron. They are leaning forward, working on a crossword puzzle. A wine glass is on a wooden surface in front of her, and a white lantern with star cutouts is next to it. Potted plants and other objects are visible, both inside the room and reflected in the window. The background outside the window shows residential buildings and trees under a colorful sky.
