Bon Fire- Longexposurephotography
Ahhh, relaxing in front of a bon fire on a cool autumn evening. Can it get any better? Yes, it can! @kiokizz decided to take a memory of this night and has decided to share it with all of us.

I decided to experiment with long exposure in front of the fire, and this is the result of a 30 second exposure

Color Challenge Monday Red- Roses Are Red

Autumn rose after a misty night. We had some fog one night and the morning came nice and sunny.
I like how the petals look. Almost like leather. It is a very big, dark red rose.

This is an absolutely brillaint photograph that @ewkaw captured. The way the droplets of water bubble-up, and he is correct, the petals do have a leather texture for viewing.

Smartphone Photography Challenge- Skylight n The Branch House

I took this summer while in Montreal, Canada at the Botanical Garden... they were taken when I was inside the main branch house.

A branch house? With a skylight? How unique! Take a look at @shawkr13's other pictures in this post of this extraordinary structure.

Helmkruidbladwesp/ Allantus Scrophulariae
All varieties of bees and wasps have a place in the eco-system and @stresskiller was able to get a close-up picture of a wasp? No... it's not.

unlike normal wasp they are not aggressive at all, it's actually a sawfly

Did you know adult sawflies only have a life expectancy of seven to nine days?

Brumest Photo Edits- Pulsatilla Vulgaris
While beautiful to look at, don't be taken in and think this flower is of the edible variety. The pulsatilla vulgaris is a highly toxic flower. So step back and admire its delicate beauty.
Take a look at not just this photo, but @brumest has many more spectacular photos that have been edited on his page. Quite the photographer!
