Little Siberian Cedar

Little Siberian cedar aims to become a large and powerful tree, giving shade and supplying nuts to all local animals. Here, among the rocks and cold winds, it will be difficult to do this, but he does not give up, there is no weakness in his genome. Be strong, and not seem!

Along the great and mighty cedar trees, @francuzzz found a little cedar just starting out. Tucked away between some rocks grows a new generation of trees. Look at the wonderful close-up and details of the pines.

B&W Photo Contest- How The World Is Reflected In The Maya's Eye

As I have already said, the presence of a reflection in a photo is an element of creativity that can make your composition unique. I've photographed many reflections, some interesting, some banal. One of my reflections is my dearest, because it took me a long time to do it. I wanted to see how the Maya (my dog) sees the world around me! But, as Maya hates the camera, it was not easy at all! It was worth the effort! Here is a reflection of Chindia Lake in the Maya's eye

INCREDIBLE image! This just leaves me speechless! @ileana56 has captured the world through her dog's eyes!

IEU European Largest Hornet- Vespa Crabro

I have to admit, that as a macro photographer, I just know to little about my little friends
So, from now on, I will try to include fun/weird facts about the bugs or insect, that you will see on the photos

It's almost as if you were to reach out, you could actually touch this little hornet's nose. Not that I would want to, but @marjanko did an amazing job capturing this insect as it tried to get its fill of some pollen.

There's Something Special About These Seaside Rocks!

Something lives here! Welcome to the Dragons den!
Normally whenever we get to the beach, we head straight for the rocks and in this case there was a beautiful walkway on a huge mound of rocks. Big boulders that's been here for a very long time. And of course something ancient also made these rocks their home

Oh WOW! If you really listen, can't you hear the waves crashing against the rocks? If you step a little closer, I bet you can feel the spray of the sea water against your skin!

Native Flower Spikes Denver Colorado- Monomad

The Denver Botanical Garden has a native plant area where everything grows wild and untended. These flower spikes were in the midst of it and glowing in the hot July sun

What a splendid way to show off these flowers! Are you wondering what color the flowers and pikes really are? Maybe @bxlphabet will show us in the comments!

Good luck to all the entries! May the best photo win!
