The folded rock patterns at Tara Cove Beach look like natural brushstrokes when the light hits them just right.

See my blog for more photos from my coastal visit: https://buff.ly/0Yy7tFG

#photography #TaraCove #Wexford #Ireland #CoastalWalk

A close-up vertical shot of a dramatic, wave-sculpted rock face jutting out from fine, pale sand on a quiet beach. The geological stone features swirling, vertical ribbons in shades of silvery-grey, soft slate, and rich terracotta-red, accented by patches of vibrant green moss tucked into the crevices. Soft evening light grazes the textured surface, highlighting its weathered folds and grooves against a gentle blue sky with wispy white clouds overhead.

A fingertip-sized snowy white sea slug crawling on an ocean reef. The slug is largely featureless, save the usual two rhinophores, shaded gray, and gills, which appear as frilly feather-like tufts on its rear end.

Wish I'd had more time to do this iridescent dung fly justice, but it flew off before I could get my tripod set up 🤷‍♂️

The wing spots mark it as genus Sepsis, which often need microscopic inspection to ID definitively.

The yellow & purple colours lean towards S punctum, but S fulgens is also possible.

A small fly seen side on and from above on a green leaf. The fly has clear wings with a black spot on the outer leading edge of each, and the fly has its wings spread wide, as it was wiggling them. There is some iridescence in the wings. The head of the fly is almost spherical, with large brick red compound eyes flush with the sphere, and with a very shiny black region reflecting daylight above between. It has small brown antennae. The thorax is a smooth, semi-reflective purple bronze, with some large black bristles and some much smaller hairs between. The abdomen is less well seen from this angle, but shows intense yellow and purple metallic highlights on a dark base. The legs are amber, with darker parts.

Can you spot the white Misumena vatia in these photos?

Close-up of white wild cherry blossoms on a branch with fresh green leaves against a pale blue sky. Multiple delicate flowers with five petals each are visible, with prominent stamens in the center. The shallow depth of field creates a soft, blurred background.

A small white crab spider camouflaged among the petals of a white wild cherry flower. The spider is positioned on one of the lower hanging blooms, nearly blending in with the white petals. A small black insect (possibly a fly or bee) is visible nearby on the flower. Green leaves and additional blossoms surround the scene with a soft, out-of-focus grassy background.

Maybe this is common with this type of tree, but I’d never seen so many like it in one place before. https://buff.ly/xryec3t

#photography #Nature #Trees #WoodlandPhotography #TreeTrunks

A vertical eye-level shot inside a dim, shaded woodland grove. In the foreground and midground, thick, textured brown tree trunks frame the view, including a massive lateral branch that bends dramatically down toward the forest floor in a sweeping U-shape before rising back upward. Dense, fan-like green cedar needles fill the upper canopy, filtering soft daylight onto the dirt path below. The mood is tranquil, ancient, and sheltered.

Since this female blue blowfly (Calliphora vicina; 🇩🇪 Blaue Schmeißfliege) was good enough to pose for me on the ivy for a while, I thought I'd share a bunch of pictures to show her off 🤷‍♂️🙂

Four here & another three in the next toot, the latter including some nice photonic physics in action 🙂

A large blowfly seen from above feeding on a yellow-green ivy flower head. The fly has brick red compound eyes widely set in a grey and black head, marking it as a female. The three small ocelli can be seen in the gap. The thorax is a dusty blue grey with darker longitudinal partial stripes, many fine black hairs, and lots of long black bristles. The abdomen isn't well see from this angle, but is a metallic blue with dark grey patches and many black bristles near the end. The wings are clear, with dark veins, darkening to a light brown right at the roots.

ALT

The same fly seen side-on, hanging half upside down from the ivy flower. The beige lower parts of the face can be seen, along with the long, wide proboscis and mouthparts feeding from the flower. The mostly grey thorax has some small brown parts, while the shiny metallic blue abdomen is seen more clearly, with many short and long dark bristles. The underside of the abdomen appears light grey from this angle. The legs are grey-black with many black spines and bristles.

ALT

A head-on view of the fly slightly from above, showing the head, eyes, and antennae in more detail. The proboscis and mouth are again extended down to the flower, but mostly out of focus apart from the orange tips of the upwards protruding maxillary palps. The front of the thorax is in focus, but the rest of the fly is out of focus in the background.

Late last September, a leaf peeping trip briefly became a moose peeping adventure. If you look closely, you can see in their eyes: "DO YOU MIND!!!?!!!" 😂
