Weekly challenge 11/3 - 11/9 It's the nature of things...

[SquarePeg40 1]

This week's challenge is pretty straight forward. The theme is "nature". Interpret as you wish. Landscapes, macro, trees, animals, weather... you are in command.

Post up to 3 photos each day. They can be a theme or stand on their own.

New photos only please.

These were actually shot an hour or two before the challenge was posted, but they are new, so I'm allowing it!

I dropped by a local park, this afternoon.

There isn't such a huge variety of autumn colors in this part of the country where I live.
For beautiful nature, forests, (small) wild animals etc. the Dutch normally go on a trip to the east or south of the country, which is physically quite impossible for me right now, so ...
On our way to the supermarket I saw this strange kind of fungus on a tree bark, no idea what it's called.

Took these last night just North of Ludington, Michigan. The Northern Lights were not a bright as I was hoping for and clouds quickly rolled in and covered what little was starting to show. At least I had a chance to get the Milky Way and the start of the light show.

Starry Beach house: Milky Way over the beach house at the Ludington State Park.

Beach Lights and Stars: A little bit of color and a lot of stars over some jetties in Lake Michigan

Heavens Eye: The only real color that showed up last night. With the dunes, the night sky and the color from the aurora itself... it looks like a giant eye looking down from the heavens.

A single drop of water, looking like it is being launched into outer space:

Spoiler: it was not launched into outer space.
