This image features a close-up of a small, vibrant green insect—likely a type of shield bug or stink bug—perched on a cluster of dried, feathery plant stems. The plant stems are light brown with hints of purple, creating a delicate and intricate background. The insect is positioned centrally, partially hidden among the stems, adding a sense of natural camouflage. The background is softly blurred, drawing focus to the insect and the detailed texture of the plant.
Old 1890s pump house, filled with rusted pipes. Algae and ferns add a fantastic pop of green, breathing life back into this space. Somewhere in Luxembourg.
Forest undergrowth with broad green leaves dotted with small white four-petaled flowers, brown fern fronds across the bottom, and tall bright green fern fronds rising in the center against a leafy background.
When I came upon this stretch of trail on Wedekind, the sun was shining through the canopy just so, and the entire section was bathed in a chartreuse light. The photo doesn't do that lighting any justice, but it's still a pretty scene of a lush temperate forest doing its thing in summer 💚
A narrow dirt path winds through a dense forest, flanked by tall trees and lush ferns. Sunlight filters through the vibrant green leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The canopy is thick, with branches reaching upwards, contrasting against the clear blue sky.
#FotoVorschlag: Dinge die mit "A" beginnen oder so aussehen // Things that start with "A" or resemble the letter "A"
Als ich diesen umgeknickten #Baum in der #LüneburgerHeide gesehen habe, musste ich gleich an den Fotovorschlag denken 😅

When I saw this fallen #tree on #LüneburgHeath, I knew it would make the perfect shot for a future FotoVorschlag ... and that future is now 😅
A dense forest scene featuring a fallen tree whose twisted branches naturally resemble the shape of the letter ‘A’. The branches, partially covered in moss, create an arch-like structure amidst vibrant green ferns and foliage. The forest floor is carpeted with ferns and leaves, with sunlight filtering through the canopy above. Tall, textured trees surround the area, contributing to the serene and untouched woodland atmosphere.
A close-up of an unfurling Ostrich fern fiddlehead shows the intricate spirals of its young, leaves. The detailed greenery highlights the plant's delicate structure against a lush background of other fern leaves. Photographed while hiking in a tropical rainforest on Oahu, Hawaii.
The young shoots of ostrich fern, known as fiddleheads, have traditionally been used to make medicines, such as a gargle for sore throat, a laxative, and for wounds and boils on the skin. Unfortunately, there is no good evidence to support using the plant for these purposes. In foods, fiddleheads are regarded as a seasonal delicacy.
I think I’ve got a case of blabber’s block this morning. I can’t think of a single thing to write about—yet here I am, writing anyway. You know, when I dream, they never quite reach a conclusion. There’s always some object or destination I’m working toward, some goal I’m trying to reach. Usually I’m going somewhere, but that goal stays just out of reach. Something always delays the finish line. It’s like one step forward, two steps back. When I wake, the dreams linger in a kind of hazy memory I can’t quite grasp—much like the dreams themselves. And of course, when I wake, my head and body often feel foggy, buzzing with sleepiness. At least until I start moving and down a couple cups of coffee.

"The image is filled with several thick, sturdy tree branches that crisscross the frame, extending horizontally and diagonally like natural scaffolding. Their bark is deeply textured—cracked, mottled, and softened in places by moss and lichen. Draped across these branches is a dense, vibrant layer of Resurrection Ferns, their delicate fronds unfurling in rich shades of green. Each frond is finely divided, resembling miniature feathers or intricate lace, and their soft, velvety surfaces catch the light with a gentle shimmer.
The ferns cling tightly to the bark, forming a living tapestry that nearly fills the entire image. Their presence transforms the branches into something almost creature-like—alive, breathing, and quietly thriving. Sunlight filters through the canopy above, casting dappled shadows and illuminating the ferns with a warm, golden glow. In the background, more foliage and glimpses of blue sky peek through, adding depth and serenity. The overall impression is one of quiet resilience and natural abundance—a portrait of life reawakening on ancient wood." - Copilot with edits

"in many types of #ferns#evolution of reproductive strategies has been a two-way street, with #plants at times evolving 'backward' to less specialized forms... Selection pressures can change in a heartbeat and steer evolution in unexpected directions... There is no 'correct' direction in evolution, no march toward an end goal."
Unfurling fiddlehead of a fern. It looks like a coiled, spiralling hairy leaf.
