A tiny world tucked between wood and stone. Succulents in pastel and vibrant tones create their own miniature garden – as if nature was sculpting in miniature. Quiet, detailed magic you can only appreciate up close.

Among fallen leaves and chestnut husks, a beetle glimmers like a hidden gem, a quiet pulse of life beneath autumn’s fading breath.

Shellbound Traveler

#snail #macrophoto #wildlifephotography #naturecloseup #slowandsteady #helixpomatia #shelllife #earthcreature #macroshot #tinyworld

A close-up photograph of a Roman snail crawling slowly across a gravel path. Its large, brown, spiraled shell gleams in the sunlight, and its pale, textured body stretches forward with two antennae extended. The background is softly blurred, highlighting the snail’s details and the tiny green sprout in front of it.

Close encounter with a forest master beetle

Meet Trypocopris vernalis, also known as the spring dor beetle — one of the true “masters” of the forest floor. Yesterday, while exploring a beautiful larch and pine forest near Rijen and Oosterhout (the Surea area) with my wife, I spotted this little armored worker quietly making its way through the moss. The day was grey and moody, but a brief ray of sunlight broke through — just enough to bring out that deep black sheen that makes these beetles so mesmerizing up close.

This shot was taken with my Canon 7D Mark II and the Canon MP-E 65mm super macro lens at 5× magnification — a lens that truly lets you dive into another world. At this distance, even a beetle’s face feels monumental. You can see the fine texture of its exoskeleton, this time no grains of forest soil clinging to it, and even the subtle reflection of the forest canopy above.

Scientifically speaking, Trypocopris vernalis plays a vital role in the ecosystem. It’s a dung beetle — recycling nutrients, aerating soil, and quite literally keeping the forest clean. A quiet little hero beneath our feet.

Okay, yes, I'm becoming obsessed with mushrooms 😅 #mushroom #fungi #mycology #naturelover #forestfloor #wildlife #autumnvibes #macrophotography #closerlook #tinyworld #naturewalk #outdoors #smartphonephotography #photography

A low-angle, close-up photograph of a single mushroom with a pale, golden-tan cap and stem, centered in the foreground. It is surrounded by lush green moss, dried leaves, and blades of grass, which are brightly lit by a shaft of warm sunlight. The background features a dramatic, heavily clouded sky with dark, stormy grey clouds and tall, wispy dried plants. The overall mood is moody yet illuminated.

Cette petite loupe Apexel clippée sur le téléphone vous a intrigué, alors je vous partage une autre photo de la série, avec en arrière-plan un fond coloré ponctué de quelques paillettes. ✨🌸

Sans pretention juste un essai créatif

This little Apexel clip-on lens caught your attention, so here’s another photo from the series, with a colorful background sprinkled with a few sparkles. ✨🌸

The Adventures of a Snail. #snail #macrophotography #naturelover #gardenlife #mollusc #wildlife #naturephotography #closeup #tinyworld #natureisbeautiful #smartphonephotography #photography

A close-up, vertical shot of a common garden snail with a brown patterned shell, clinging to a dried, thin plant stem. The snail's eyestalks are visible, and its body is extended along the stem. The background is a soft, blurry green, consisting of various leaves and foliage.

Flowers of the Kampina – Part 3

Summer in the Kampina is a feast for the senses, and nowhere is this more evident than in its wildflowers.

I began with Sagittaria graminea (smalbladig pijlkruid), its delicate white petals catching the morning light, while a honeybee worked busily at the top of the frame. Nearby, the toxic yet beautiful Cicuta virosa (waterscheerling) stood tall, its blossoms framed by a shimmering bokeh from the water behind.

The humble Prunella vulgaris (gewone brunel or bijenkorfje) was next—a true bee magnet. I captured it with my Canon 5D Mark III and MP-E 65mm macro lens, a rare, specialized lens that magnifies from life-size to five times life-size without additional accessories. It’s a tool for those who want to dive into the smallest worlds nature hides.

At the northeast near Huisvennen, I wandered into a sea of blooming clover. My photo shows just one flower, but the meadow was alive with bees darting between blossoms.

The heath is also in bloom, painting the landscape in purples and pinks. In the early morning, unopened buds still held tiny dew droplets—each a perfect lens for the rising sun.

Finally, the Galeopsis tetrahit, here in a pale form with purple specks. While modest in appearance, it belongs to the vast orchid family—one of the oldest and most diverse plant families on Earth.

Next: Part 4 – Birds of the Kampina.

The Wonderful World of Fungus – Part 2

After last week’s rains, the Kampina near Oisterwijk revealed a hidden kingdom—one that thrives quietly beneath our feet. This week, I set my lenses to macro mode and explored the intricate, often overlooked life of fungi and slime molds.

First, I found Rickenella fibula, a tiny moss-dwelling mushroom just a few millimeters tall, its orange caps glowing against the green carpet. Nearby, Mycena stylobates stood on delicate stems, their translucent caps perched above fallen leaves. Looking closely, I could see the long, thread-like hyphae weaving underneath—nature’s living network, breaking down leaf litter and recycling nutrients.

Then came the slime molds. One bright orange species looked like clusters of tiny eggs, each a potential transformation into a spore-bearing structure. Another, still a mystery to me, appeared as a single white, chalk-like sphere on moss—perhaps the fruiting body of another slime mold, or something else entirely. Nature loves to leave puzzles for us to solve.

After hours in this miniature world, I reached the heart of the Kampina and paused at a weathered workman’s hut before heading home. My Canon 5D Mark III with MP-E macro lens captured the fine details, while the Canon 7D Mark II with Sigma 100–400mm kept watch for the bigger picture.

Next up: Part 3—The blooming heath and wildflowers of the Kampina.
