Mushrooms time 🍄 🍄 🍄

In the part of Germany where i live, mashrooms are showing up in specific period - middle of October trough middle of November. And mostly, they are in very dark parts of the woods, where the sun never comes 😅

This year was particularly challenging, we didn't have the rain until the begging of the October, mashrooms came very late, and they period was so short, maybe 10-15 days maximum.

In order to photograph mashrooms, I need lot of artificial light, which personally I don't like to use when photographing macro world.

So, two weeks later, I starting with my mashrooms series 🤗

Let me know in the comments below, what do you think ⤵️

I wasn't prepared for this shot at all, I saw Grey Heron flying towards me, and I just took my chance, and results....OMG.....i am in love 😍

This was my first time to see flamingos, and I just fall in love with this beautiful and unique birds 🥰

Fun fact: Flamingos naturaly have a very bright feathers, but because of their diet in the wild, their changing feather color from bright to pink 🤍🩷🧡 For example - spirulina microalge wich is reach in carotenoid pigments.

Gray Heron camouflage 101 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This bird was so funny, I was really laughing all the time i was photographing it. He notice me, when I was approaching the small pond, where he was. And then the best way to hind, is to fly into the tree and start making some very loud noises until i disappear 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Funny bird, I love Gray Heron 😍

I never expected to see Dragonflies in the beginning of the October in Germany, but this year was clearly too warm, and they were present until couple of days ago 🥰

The weather was just perfect, and the Sun reflection on the wings is just phenomenal 🤩 This is not true macro shot, I was too far away from the subject, because she was flying above the pond of Water Lily.....

This is actually male duck, still waiting to change his color back for the winter time....If you didn't know, male ducks are changing feather color during the summer, so they are look like a female, but still, if you look very closely, you see that colors are more intense 😉

I don't know why, by he just catch my eye, just floating around other birds, and trying to have his dinner before the night...

Capturing Wasp was my goal this summer, and I was so happy when I finaly manage to make this shot 🤗

I think people underestimated this beautiful insect, she is here like everyone else, just trying to survive, and grow her colony....

Yes, they can be unbelievable annoying when you eating your ice-cream, and yes, you can have the allergic reaction, but that doesn't mean that this little creatures are dangerous....Just look at her, she is perfect 💛🐝

I notice this Cormorant in the middle of the Cologne, in city park just chilling and enjoying the sun. My surprise was, seeing two more Cormorants 😮

I just returned from my vacation, and immediately next day I grab my camera, and hurry up to photograph them, because, you never know how long they will stay in same place.

Two months later, they are still in same place, and if you asking me, I don't see that they are rush to leave 🤣

Let me know in comments your thoughts ⤵️

Whenever i photographing swans, it just like the world is going quiet 🤫 Majestic bird's 💖

This particular swan, was very curious what i am doing, and why i am so interested in him. I was walking around the pond, photographing another bird's, when this young fella decided to show up.

Just for the second, he locked his look on me, and my heart stopped......
