Machaon!

Der Bärlauch blüht.

Eine Dolde sternförmige weiße Blüten des Bärlauchs. Die Blüten wirken durch den Schatten mitten im Grünen eher grün als weiß, der Hintergrund liegt in der Sonne und strahlt gelbgrün.

A Large Marble #butterfly. May 2026

Closeup photo of a Large Marble butterfly, possibly Euchloe ausonides, perched on a flower having some lunch. The butterfly is mainly white, with an abstract pattern of green and black blotches on the underside of one wing, and black stippling on the topside of the other wing, giving it a “marbeled” appearance, and hence its name. Its proboscis is poking into a small pink flower. There are green leaves and grey twigs immediately surrounding it, with blurred leaves in the background. It is about…

A month ago the dry beech leaves from last year were still hanging on, the backlight revealing their fine details... (Should have used a macro, but only had the 400mm with me)

River bend (2026)
This stretch of the river Lech with its many swampy banks and bends always reminds me of North American wilderness...
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

Wideformat photo of a river bend surrounded by lush forests on a bright sunny and hazy day. The left river bank on the inside of the bend is a wide stretch of wetland with swampy reeds and bushes, then transitioning to forest. Various water birds. Some blurry reflections of trees on the water surface.

A deer minding its own business.

Photo of either a young mule deer or white tailed deer making its way slowly up a hillside in bright sunlight. I only noticed it right in front of me when it started to walk up the hill. Its tan-brown coat blends well into the brushy background. May 2026.

Spring, Life.
(Yesterday, as seen from one of my fave spots on the banks of the river Lech...)
#SilentSunday #NaturePhotography #Photography

Telescopic view of a section of lush and dense mixed forest with trees in various stages of springing back to life: Some in full bloom, some with fresh bright green leaves, others still only bare with old dried leaves from last year glowing in the afternoon sun. A group of conifers in the middle. All in all, a cornucopia of colors and textures, almost an impressionistic, abstract image.

A Dickcissel (who decided that was a good name for a bird?) and a Blue Grosbeak.

Photo of a bird perched at the top of a tree. This is a Dickcissel, (Spiza americana), a small seed-eating migratory bird in the family Cardinalidae. It breeds on the prairie grasslands of the Midwestern United States and winters in Central America, northern Colombia, and northern Venezuela. It has a yellow breast and belly, and a distinctive black blotch on its throat. The sky is bright blue behind it. June 2026.

Photo of a bird perched on a rusted pipe. It is a Blue Grosbeak, seen from behind its back. (Passerina caerulea) is a medium-sized North American passerine bird in the cardinal family Cardinalidae. It is mainly migratory, wintering in Central America and breeding in northern Mexico and the southern United States. Its body and head are bright blue, the wings and tail are dark brown and tan. Its body has a short beak with a bit of a hook at its tip. The background is out of focus green grass. Ju…

Nurse Log

#ThickTrunkThursday #NaturePhotography #Mosstodon

Photo of dense old growth temperate rain forest with trees heavily covered in moss. A large nurse log (also slowly overgrown) is lying on the ground among ferns and other low growth vegetation. Fog drifting through the forest.

Borderlands (2026)
Geographically, geologically, biologically, politically... The sudden onset of the northern Alps and the German-Austrian border (Bavaria/Tirol, near Füssen/Reutte) running along the wooded ridge in mid-distance...
#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

Wide-format view of a small section of the Northern Alps and their foothills during sunset on a bright winter day. The sky is glowing in a mix of pastel yellows, orange, cyan. Snowy mountains in the back and white fields closer in the foreground. Closest to the camera are the tops of a patch of forest, the trees illuminated in warm red light. A sun beam is shining on a small village in mid distance.

A mountain river (outflow of the Morteratsch glacier) with gray milky water, surrounded by alpine autumn forest of cute yellow larches and swiss pines. On the left hand side, a larch is bending diagonally over the rocky river bed and large rocks on the banks.
