Lichtjesavond (Laren)

#Urban #Photography

A small, rounded green glass jar with a tea light inside. The lantern sits on weathered wooden floorboards. The wood grain is prominent, and the teal glow casts long, warm shadows and a colored highlight across the planks. To the left, a portion of a simple wooden church stool is visible. Behind the wooden platform is a transition to a darker tiled or stone floor.

Earlier Today

#Landscape #Nature #Photography

A sunset viewed through a dense, leafless birch forest. The foreground is a dark, textured floor covered in a thick layer of fallen leaves. The trees are entirely in silhouette, appearing as dark, jagged vertical lines that create a rhythmic, almost barred pattern across the middle of the image. At the horizon, there is a fiery, intense orange and red glow, which transitions upward into a soft, hazy lavender and pale pink toward the top of the frame.

Purple

#BloomScrolling #Nature #Photography

A purple flower bud, positioned in the middle of the frame. It's a spherical cluster of tightly packed, small, spiky structures, which are a vibrant purple color. Thin, green, spiky bracts radiate outwards from the base of the bud, giving it a somewhat star-like appearance. The bud is attached to a slender, curved green stem. The background is a soft-focus, blurry green.

Mom & Me

#Alzheimers #Caregiving #Dementia

#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.
