I'm with her.
I would worry about getting stone chips if that were my beast though.

Driftwood along the shores of the barrier islands of north Florida and Georgia is quite common. Entire driftwood trees are unheard of.

One time at camera club the judge we had on that evening said he never wanted to see another driftwood photo, and then someone had entered a pretty good driftwood photo on that night and the judge praised it and went on to say that he had to eat his words.
The same could be said for your example here, and a full tree too! Nicely composed. Well done.

Nice. Well done.
Have you ever tried backlighting?
When the sun is in the right place, or you can use off-camera flash, or any lighting really. And it works great with with mushrooms in nature as well.

Nice line up on Photo #3.
I thought that was a duck's butt at first, but on closer inspection...

First photo, everyone appears to have turned their back on it.

P.S. Good to see it has 'Heavy Duty" tyres. (Or "tires" if you must.

Very nice.
I always thought American actress Marlene Dietrich had a Duesenberg and that it was in Southward Car Museum. But I checked and no, her car in Southward Car Museum is a 1934 Cadillac V-16 Town Cabriolet.
Southward Car Museum is world-class and well worth a visit if you're in New Zealand anytime.
They have all sorts of rare and very interesting stuff. For example: 1950 Cadillac Sixty Special "gangster special" - belonged to American gangster Mickey Cohen, fitted with armoured body panels and bulletproof plate glass 1+1⁄2 inches (38 mm) thick.

The front garden survived the snow and thrives. Although it was poor light and windy, I had to record the progress. I will calm down in a while.

Nice.
I find it hard to not get my camera out to shoot very similar during the Springtime. In my garden, however, it is Agapanthus that are my main victim. Most people seem to like the blue Agapanthus best, but I prefer the white Agapanthus for my photos because they make it easier to get a nice uncluttered composition.
Of course here in New Zealand we're six months ahead of you; we're heading into Autumn now, or as you might call the season, "Fall".

If a penis were inserted in that lovely vagina, I would say “tooo much for this forum” As my godmother said when I commented on the amount of open and beautiful nudity on network TV in Norway “In Norway nudity and sex are OK, violence and murder are not”. We have so many much more important hills to climb and battles to fight than the occasional showing of female genitalia in our forum. I, for one, say the image, although explicit, is fine and more of them is supported.

Why is Robert Mapplethorpe controversial?
Although many of his works — including exquisitely lighted images of flowers — are uncontroversial, a series of homoerotic and other sexually explicit photographs made him posthumously a political target and a central figure in a First Amendment clash over the legal meaning of art and obscenity.
What is Mapplethorpe best known for?
Robert Mapplethorpe is best known for his powerful black-and-white portraits and self-portraits. His photographs both challenge us and present us with images of classical beauty.
Why did Robert Mapplethorpe get into photography?
His initial interest in photography was, in part, an outgrowth of the collages he had been constructing with images from pornographic magazines.

How would Maplethorp's controversial subject matte... (show quote)
Thank you.
At camera club one time the club's monthly competition subject was "Human Form" and a female photographer came to give us a presentation about this subject prior to the competition entry time. She used famous nude photos in her Powerpoint slides, including both Robert Mapplethorpe and Ansel Adams works. One of her Mapplethorpe examples was a photo of an erect penis. Art is art. No one can tell other people what is or is not art.
And what about painted artworks? One time I was in Christchurch's public at gallery (South Island of New Zealand) and there as a huge painting of a nude woman with open 'crotch' for all to see - children included.
Not only that, but when I was in Paris I went to Pompidou and in there there was an 'art' video showing a nude woman and with fully dressed male and female people lining up in a queue to each have a turn of running their hands over her naked body however they saw fit. In Pompidou, Paris, even that is art.

I totally agree on diversity and mannerisms and conduct. You have some real jewels out there.
What makes a good photograph is one that transports the person/s to the scene of the photo. You live that moment and you feel the emotions of that moment. Your looking through someone else camera and your wishing you was there or that it was you who took that picture.

Back in the day when I was a young man about 50 years ago, one of our newspaper's advice columns inadvertently started a debate about this. The columnist said she received in the tens-of-thousands of letters back then from people "wanting to set the record straight."
I guess the debate continues...😁😁😁

Nice images. But methinks that the moon was added in post, as the moon looks EXACTLY the same in each.
Yes, to me it was immediately obvious that the moons was added in Post. Number 2 is quite good though.
And he 'bent' the moon in the third one.
