Today, while picking garlic in the floodplain forest, I managed to snap a photo of this handsome fellow on a wild garlic leaf. It’s an oak weevil, Curculio glandium. He’s probably young, because he hasn’t yet learned the trick most weevils use—when a photographer stares at you, retreat to the underside of the leaf and wait until they leave. Not this one—he patiently let me take his picture.

Pink Cheeks. Third Place, Up & Coming. "This was my first time taking a camera underwater, and was nervous but excited. My goal was to get a tiny nudibranch in focus, and with the support of my husband, Adam Martin, and our amazing guides, I quickly fell in love with macro photography."

Prunus avium, the wild cherry, blooms in early spring. It is a common forest tree in the area where I live. It can be easily identified by its bark, which is brownish-purple with characteristic horizontal wrinkles. In spring, it forms bright white clouds of flowers against the otherwise leafless and gray backdrop of the forest.
