Low-angle view looking up the massive trunk of an old-growth conifer. The bark is deeply furrowed and gray-brown, with thick moss clinging to the lower trunk and many branches. Lichen drapes from the upper limbs like curtains. Surrounding foliage includes broadleaf green plants and ferns in the understory, with dappled light filtering through the dense canopy above.

This magnificent BOT lives down by the creek out back. Pseudotsuga menziesii, I think, but I'm pretty terrible with trees 😅

Close-up of honeysuckle flowers with pink and white petals and long stamens, covered in water droplets, against a blurred green foliage background.

Honeysuckle bloom showing pink-tipped white flowers with delicate stamens extending outward, water droplets on petals and leaves, set against soft-focus green forest backdrop.

Some species of Lonicera (maybe L. japonica?) out back, midsummer this year. Could become a problem for native species if left unchecked, so I'll keep an eye on it.

I like the first image more because it puts the focus more squarely (see what I did there?) on the flower, but there's something about that vertical crop that I also really like. I think it's the leafy vine that shoots out toward the right edge of the frame. Anyway, I like both, so y'all get both 😁

Macro shot of red elderberries (Sambucus racemosa). Several bunches of small, round, translucent red berries hang from purplish-red stems. The berries are framed by serrated, deep green compound leaves. Some berries have small water droplets on them. The background is a soft blur of green vegetation.

The vivid red of Sambucus racemosa berries is almost unreal 😲
