surrounded by forest, a medium-sized pond, mostly covered in lily pads, expands outward and back... i stood here for a few moments, enjoying the visual interplay between the pads, the overcast sky and the creeping shadows of early evening

Attention Bay Area photo/art folks! I've landed on August 8 for our first meetup. I'm thinking we start in the Dahlia Dell in Golden Gate Park, but I'm open to suggestions. Any time preferences? Does 10:30 work? Or afternoon? #EastCoastKin #ECK #WestCoastKin

A bee sampling the wares of an echinacea blossom. Norwich VT, July 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Nature #ColorADay #PinkMon #Bloomscrolling #Flowers #MacroMonday

This image is a macro of an echinacea blossom with a bee walking across it, sampling its wares. The center of the blossom appears in the upper third of the image, just right of center. The bee appears in the upper right portion of the center of the flower, very near the upper right corner of the frame. The blossom and bee are both in sharp focus. The center of the blossom is a set of spikes with dark bases, becoming first red tinged with yellow, and then darkening at their tips. The are scatter points of bright yellow pollen dusted on the flower here and there. Numerous intensely purplish-pink petals encircle the blossom, drooping away from it as they spread outward. We can clearly see the structure and texture of their surfaces. We have an excellent view of the bee's hairy yellow thorax, veined wings, head, and dark black eyes. The image is finished by a lovely green and black bokeh from distant foliage filling the rest of the frame.
