I went out to the Crocus Prairie here in Saskatoon, right after work, and was awarded with some wonderful prairie pasqueflower. And then I spotted this Frigid Mining Bee (Andrena frigida), the first one I have ever seen. These little wonders are put very early, even while there is some snow left on the ground.

Photo shows a crocus flower filling the right of the photo. It has light lavender petals, with a cluster of bright yellow stamen around a pale yellow stigma. In the left most petal sits a snall, mostly black bee, sideways. It has vague whitish abdominal stripes, and some light fuzziness around the thorax.

The rest of the picture is mostly out of focus, but one can distinguish low growing juniper, among others.

Lichen Fingers #Nature #UrbanNature #AmateurPhotography #CanonEOS100D #CanonEF40mm #Spring

A close-up photo of a gnarled tree branch covered in yellow lichen. The branch juts out horizontally and splits into several stubby offshoots, resembling outstretched fingers or a clawed hand. The lichen gives it a rough, textured surface that contrasts with the smoother, darker bark beneath. The background is softly blurred, filled with fresh green foliage and a hint of a stone wall, suggesting a spring or early summer setting. Sunlight illuminates the branch, casting gentle shadows and highlighting the vivid yellow tones. The overall mood is organic and slightly eerie, evoking a natural form frozen mid-motion.

Autumn still lingeres on.

Two red-brown brick pilars that together form half of a circle, with some space between them where you can see the ocean behind them and the sky is cloudy.

In the half-light, you can see the beach and the ocean, the sky is cloudy and where the ocean and sky meet you can see just a tiny bit of the sun.

A gravelled path that leeds between two hedges and at the end there is a gate and some trees whos branches foem a roof over the path. Most of the leaves on trees and bushes are green but some are res and the sun is hinimg.

The irises have arrived.
#photography #naturephotography #urbannature #flowers #bloomscrolling #spring #garden #communitygarden #nyc #purple

Closeup, from above, of an iris flower with large purple petals. Some are curled on top of each other (standard petals) and others hang down (the falls; I’m looking this up and learning as I go!). The fall closest to camera is a vivid deep purple color, paler at the edges, with a central stripe of yellow and white tendrils (the signal) surrounded by a pattern of white veins radiating outward. A few raindrops collect on the top petals. The flower is surrounded by other iris flowers, either buds or open petals, amid green stems and leaves.

Shifting focus, pt. 2. Checked in on my favorite lilac bush (see previous posts) and found ANOTHER patch of lilac buds just getting started (a later-blooming variety?). I’m excited to see their progress as well! Also: tulip.
#photography #naturephotography #urbannature #flowers #bloomscrolling #spring #garden #communitygarden #nyc

Vertical closeup of a cluster of lilac buds in a fuschia shade. The larger group of buds is at left frame, with a stem bearing fewer buds extending upward to right frame. The background is out of focus and shows a red tulip with its petals open and peeled back, as well as distant lilac clusters, against masses of green leaves.

Vertical photo of the same setting, but with the focus shifted so that the tulip and surrounding lilac buds are sharp and clear, while the lilac cluster in the foreground is blurred.

Shifting focus, pt. 1. Passed by a local garden to admire the bluebells (and tulips), still looking fresh on this drizzly day.
#photography #naturephotography #urbannature #flowers #bloomscrolling #spring #garden #communitygarden #nyc

Vertical closeup of a cluster of bluebells, in shades of pale blue and fuschia on green stems, pushing in from right frame. The background is out of focus and shows a patch of other bluebells amid green leaves, as well as a red tulip bulb at upper left.

Vertical photo of the same setting but with the focus shifted so that the distant red tulip standing above the patch of bluebells is sharp, while the bluebell cluster in the extreme foreground is blurred.

Couldn't sleep, so I'm sitting on my steps, in my full-length pink fur trenchcoat and PJs, sipping coffee out of my girlfriend's "Summon a Protective Lesbian" mug, while feeding crows and watching the sunrise on a gray Seattle morning.

Playlist on my headphones seeded from: https://song.link/s/3Fug6rfarsHtM6Ws9ofzaD

Reflection of the brilliant orange sunrise in a partitioned white window.

Crow on a power line against the gray morning sky.

Alice, disappeared in a full-length pink fur coat, platinum blonde hair cascading down over the fluffy collar.

A springtime door for #Doorsday.
#photography #urbanphotography #urbannature #trees #spring #door #flowers #bloomscrolling

Photo of pink and red flowering branches, possibly dogwood, obscuring a double door with an arched transom window on the second level of a brownstone apartment building. Stairs flanked by black metal banisters with ornamental curlicues lead down to street level where there are windows to the lower floor, flowering shrubs, and the lids of trash bins.

The Conjunction

A #tbt to January 2024, when Venus was visible in the evening.
It's been a quite a while since I last posted a moon. (It's been a week.

Bluebells in the morning.
#photography #naturephotography #urbannature #flowers #bloomscrolling #spring #garden #communitygarden #nyc

A view of a garden with a large patch of bluebells in the foreground and three red tulips in the middle ground. Beyond are vine-covered trees rising to the top of the frame. The sun peers through the leaves (with some lens flare) and illuminates the middle section of the scene, leaving the left and right sides in slightly deeper shadow.

Closeup of a cluster of bluebells, in shades of blue and purple with white pistils, against an out-of-focus background of sunlit green leaves.

Horizontal photo of a patch of bluebells against an out-of-focus background of vine-covered trees, scattered red tulips, and a glimpse of an apartment building, all backlit by a sun through the leaves.

Vertical photo of a sunlit patch of bluebells in a community garden, against a slightly out-of-focus background of pink and yellow flowers, trees, a garden fence, and the windows of an apartment building.
