Robin in Colors is a hand-painted watercolour painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A European Robin stands amidst splashes of vibrant colors on a plain creamy white background. The bird's bright orange breast contrasts beautifully with its darker feathers.. The colours of the plumage are repeated in the splashes of colour in the abstract background. The songbird looks in a friendly manner towards the viewer.

In this handmade abstract watercolor painting, two oak leaves in warm orange and yellow fall colors dance in an autumn breeze that drifts and swirls them through the sky.

#Golden #Pincushion #Bloom by Kaye Menner #Photography Wide variety #Prints & lovely #Products at:

I photographed this flower at my home in Sydney as a still life image from a native bouquet which was given to me as a gift.

A vibrant Protea flower displays striking yellow and orange hues with long, thin petals extending outward. The flower contrasts beautifully against a dark background, highlighting its unique structure and vivid colors.

This flower is a Pincushion Protea (Leucospermum species), native to South Africa and also grown in parts of Australia.
It is characterized by its striking, spherical flower head made up of long, slender, brightly colored styles—usually yellow, orange, or red—that resemble pins in a pincushion. The bloom is supported by leathery green leaves, and the plant is well-adapted to dry, sunny environments, making it a popular ornamental in gardens and floral arrangements.
Leucospermum cordifolium is an upright, evergreen shrub of up to 1½ m high from the Proteaceae. The flower heads are globe-shape with a flattened top, 10–12 cm in diameter, and are carried individually or with two or three together mostly at a right angle to its branch. Wikipedia
Scientific name: Leucospermum cordifolium
Family: Proteaceae
Genus: Leucospermum

We just spent 4 days at Katmai National Park during what is supposed to be the slow season. We got lucky with huge sockeye salmon run, fine weather, and anywhere from 4 to 14 bears around Brooks Falls. Amazing experience!

#bears #BearsOfKatmai #nature #KatmaiNationalPark #Alaska #Wildlife

A short and wide waterfall with river to the right has 11 brown bears standing and sitting in the water. Two are at the top of the falls looking at salmon jumping. More bears are below the falls surrounded by red sockeye salmon barely visible below the water’s surface. One salmon is visible jumping toward the falls. The background is green vegetation of willows and deciduous trees.

a robin follows

Robin on a perch is a hand-painted watercolour painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small robin with bright orange breast feathers stands on a square wooden perch and looks around with interest. The bird was painted with loose brushstrokes and the background was left white.
The soft watercolour style gives the overall picture a gentle and dreamy touch.

This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art and artwork) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

Robin on a snow covered branch is a watercolor painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A European Robin sits on a snow-covered branch in the middle of a gentle winter scene. The bright orange breast feathers form a striking contrast to the soft, cool colours of the wintry background. Delicate branches are lightly dusted with snow, lending the scene a calm and frosty atmosphere. Soft blue and white tones fill the background and suggest a cold but calm atmosphere.
This image is a portrait format detail from my painting Robin in a Winter Landscape, which I painted in landscape format.

The Day of the Triffids

#Nature #Photography

A plant, at a close range, revealing intricate details that are not visible to the naked eye. The main subject is a cluster of drooping, hairy plant stems and buds, with the plant's texture and form as the central focus.

The color palette is a mix of deep greens, dark reddish-pinks, and whites. The stems and buds are covered in a dense layer of delicate, fine hairs, each one catching the light and appearing to glow. The plant itself is well-lit, with a glow that seems to come from behind, making it stand out dramatically against the dark, out-of-focus background.

The background is a key element of the photo's atmosphere. It's almost entirely black, with a scattering of circular, blurred points of light. This bokeh effect creates a dreamy, almost magical feel, as if the plant is surrounded by floating bubbles or distant stars.

A seven-meter megalosaurid named Joaquinraptor casani was described this week by Lucio M. Ibiricu and his colleagues. Apart from consisting of one of the most complete megalosaurid skeletons, we also know what it was feeding on! A truly impressive discovery.
