The Caldeirão Verde waterfall during a really heavy downpour, which was probably one of the most tropically impressive views in Madeira, Portugal. 🇵🇹 This waterfall is 100 meters high, and the water flows into a huge basin. My entire photo equipment was totally soaked, miraculously nothing was damaged!
In my experience, these purple-pink phenotypes are much less common than white trillium in these parts (the forests of western Washington); I was very surprised, then, to find that almost half—by my very rough estimate—of all the trillium I saw on the Mima Falls Trail were this purple-pink color. When I got onto the McKenny Trail, the majority went clearly back to white. I wonder what it is about the Mima Falls Trail... 🤔
Our Australian Tree Fern is about 15 feet tall now and new fronds are coming out from the center. When fully grown, a frond is about 4-5 feet long and 1-2 feet wide. This photo was taken from a second story window. #nature#ferns#florida#trees#naturephotography
Wild mushrooms I saw on a hike back in the summer of 2011. Too much green and lack of variety to make it an art print (for me, at least) so it's been gathering dust on my hard drives over the past thirteen years.
Atmos argues this is bad for science and society. "Duke University is closing its century-old herbarium—a legendary plant collection and training ground—to the outcry of many."
