P52 Week 15: Nature (April 9 - 15)

[ffff14P]

I’m finally able to post something in time, yay!

Being inspired by the recent exhibition „Nature humaine – Humaine nature“ at the Fondation Van Gogh in Arles, France, I did not want to shoot something ‚outside‘ in the nature, but I rather focussed on the relationship and interconnection between nature and humans that is often been overlooked.

The weather was not very special this week, so I just stayed at the campus of my university and captures these blossoms. Hope you enjoy.

Really pushing the Lumix ZS 200 to the edge. Lots of fine detail on a spruce tree with the lens fully extended to 360mm equivalent then significant cropping to get to about 500mm equivalent.

Apologies for the late post. The arboretum at my alma maters taken yesterday. I have more if you’re ok with the late posting.

Edit: the above was supposed to be part of the same post as the pic. Not sure why my iPad and macrumors are not getting along with each other today.

Lots of great colors here. Are the purple ones azaleas? They are an interesting color.

Larry ! It's getting warm , You gotta call the pool guys ....

"Nah ... They cost too much , this year I'll do it myself"

Actually , it's the late Cora Timkin's pool . https://www.njpalisades.org/strangerWeird.html Abandoned when her and her husband died and the Parks Commission took it over . They never called the pool guys either .

Interestingly , there's lots of plantings left from the old estates around if you look a bit while hiking .

What a sad and interesting story.

We took a ferry ride over to Dunoon this past weekend. When there we drove North to Loch Eck, to Jubilee Point. A wonderful place to sit and reflect. There were a couple of people camping too and the smell of their campfires was intoxicating.

I am always surprised when you post a color image, although I think lately you've submitted more color than bw photos. It looks like a lovely spot.

I love these pink flowers!

The grasshopper definitely fits the theme. I am not quite as certain about the cat photo taken in 2019 (no archive photos please) fitting with nature?? You can post photos late as long as they are new and taken with the topic in mind.

I love the juxtaposition in the first one! And nice framing in the third.

Finally, today, this rather delayed spring, I found a Hepatica nobilis (syn. Anemone hepatica), in Sweden called blåsippa, a traditional and very welcomed sign of spring. The grass is Elymus caninus. These grow together with other quite rare species on the location, most notably white Lathraea squamaria and Actaea spicata (but they are later). The Hepatica nobilis is growing next to a big Quercus robur. None of these, as far as I know, are native to North America, therefore I only present their scientific names.

What a pretty little flower. It does seem like they might be native to North America also?

"New." Just since yesterday, out our south window, at home, Worcester, MA.

We are actually having a "new" theme in a couple of weeks, but I accept new leaves as an excellent sign of nature. 🙂

Nature's doctor: My knee hurts.

Ok, we were actually looking for white-tailed eagles. But I needed a 900mm for that...

Oh I love this one.

These are all beautiful. I really love the feeling of depth in the first one.
