That's what i find in my garden... I hope this thing will be a butterfly soon

Look at the vibrant colors @gresstyle was able to capture in this photo of a caterpillar creeping up the stem of this flower.

Beauty And Usefulness Of Frangipani Flowers

...this flower is very beautiful and many uses.This flower has no connection at all with the Cambodian country because it originates from Central America which includes Equador, Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela and Mexico.

While the Frangipani flower has mane medicinal uses, you just need to look at the beauty of it to become mesmerized. And if you look close enough, you can see some dew drops dangling from the delicate petals.

Miniworld II: Summer In Vienna
Is that a little village on the edge of a waterway? Look at all those miniature people and toy-like umbrellas... BUT WAIT! That's not a small scale setting at all. See how @captainklaus was able to accomplish this image.

Another one with this effect that you also can do on film: Tilt the lens so it's not parallel (freelensing, Anti-Scheimpflug), and you get this focus that makes everything look like toy-land.

Sun Beams In The Autumn Forest

I was walking in the woods with my family... closer to the evening when the light filled the forest and sunbeams pierced the woods

Almost as if the Heavens are opening up and displaying a wondrous sight! @dmytrokorl really caught a moment of celestial silence.

Gold Creek Lower Falls

This is a shot of the lower falls along Gold Creek in Golden Ears Provincial Park in Southern British Columbia... We headed out off track into the forest to find some peace from the crowds for a while then came back to take this shot under heavy spray from the waterfall just before dusk with the falls to ourselves
