part 353 whalers on the moon

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

Sorry it's a bit late, meme, I had to work later than I anticipated.

Post your nearby nature photos here! :D

Ooh, I went to the park and took like 75 pictures, I'll sort them out first. So uh, dummy?

Greeen :D

I photoshopped that part tbh. ;3; The pictures came out bluish even though the sun was shining and they should've been as green as they are now.

After deleting the uninteresting and failed ones I still have like 45 images left but they're mostly all of the same haha.

Pigeon!

Pigeon next to a cock! Maybe I should've looked better but I could only see one leg on that pigeon. :c

And this is really close to my house.

omg. that pigeon standing next to the penis looks so offended.

you live in such a pretty area!

The tree next to our house

Nice tree, anon!

thanks!he's actually kind of an asshole, drops these black walnuts on our porch and all over our yard... but he's our asshole tree.

Ah! A black walnut tree. Have you ever eaten them, anon?

I just saw an owl in our garden and tried to take a photo, but the damn thing flew away. :(

he's camera shy :0

I went on a geological excursion in April in a very gorgeous part of Southern France, so there's lots and lots. But I'm actually busy writing my report on that very excursion right now (it's due in 12 hours), so I just randomly picked a couple. None of them remotely do the places justice though :|a

In Gorges d'Héric, the most beautiful park I've ever been in. You can't really see it from this angle, but right in front where is picture was taken is a small waterfall.

The waterfall in question. There were lots, but this was the one I had my lunch at.

Some trees at my lodge. I loved how pretty the green and blue look together, so I took a picture.

Taken in Minerve. This underground cave is actually pretty cool. It was naturally made by the river.

By the Mediterranean Sea, in Cap d'Agde.

/stops procrastinating now

Here's one taken on another excursion on Saturday. It's not all nature, but close enough? Maybe? I have no idea where exactly this was since we walked around so much and I haven't sorted through my notes yet, but I think it shows the Nahe River in Germany.

That looks nifty!

Gaaaaasp what pretty pictures :OOOO

Thank you! They were beautiful places, so I'd really like to go back for a visit in the future and take even prettier ones!

THAT FIRST PICTURE

I know, right? If I lived anywhere close to that park, I'd visit the hell out of it every day. It was my favorite place out of all those I saw on the trip. (I also grew really attached to that waterfall for some reason.)

A view from a bridge where I regularly walk.

I was trying to take a picture of a birds flying past the moon but I was too slow. Well, two am moon is nature too.

Four am moon.

What beautiful water! And the moon :D

psssst I know I'm super late but I took these photos during my lunch break walk on Sunday and I wanna share! ;o;

Sundays I work at a native american history museum in a park nearby these lovely birch stands

The view looking the other way across the marshes
link!

It's a very marshy area, so there's a raised wooden path that winds through the trees. Good thing, too, there had been a lot of rain a few nights before and there was a ton of runoff from the mountains.
link!

Big fat frog was appreciating the rise in water level
froglink!

Birch bark is crazy strong, the tree inside might be long dead and rotting but the bark does not care a whit.
link!

Another view of the boardwalk
link!

They look like gentle rolling ghibli hills but they're really all puddly swamps!
link!

And lastly, the reason why it's so good that birch bark lasts so long. This is a reproduction Wabanaki wigwam dwelling that the museum built out of branches and birch bark sheets. We have only had to touch it up once in several years!
link!

THERE hope at least someone on flat view sees this and likes my birches ;3; Everyone else in the thread has such lovely photos, you guys!

ahh!! These are gorgeous, nice work!!

I miss marshlands, I grew up very close to them and sights like this were our field trip excursions all the time. How wonderful that you get to work in such a beautiful place! The wigwam picture is super cool.

Aww, thanks, anon! ;3;

We have quite a few around us, both fresh water and salt marshes. I hope you get to see some sometime soon!

Y'know what's crazy, though? This particular stand of birches would not have existed here if not for a devastating fire a little under 70 years ago, which burnt away the shady conifers in the area and left the way clear for sun-loving birches and maples. Amazing how nature can bounce back with such beauty...

It's such a neat little building, it looks like it would be cozy with some of the holes patched up and a nice fire going inside!
