This week’s prompt challenge was “A Beautiful Place With Something Very Wrong In It.” We were to make an image that is visually stunning at first glance, but the longer you look, the more unsettling it becomes. We were supposed to use our imagination to come up with something surprising.

“Mother Nature”

My image is only unsettling if you know what the plants are. Featured in this idyllic nature stroll on this lovely day are oleander, monkshood, and water hemlock, all of which are potentially lethal to humans.

Prompt: Gorgeous nature scene of trees and a river with white oleander bushes, purplish-blue tall stalks of monkshood flowers, and tiny white hemlock flower bunches growing all along the bank; beautiful; awe-inspiring, nature at its most impressive; dappled sunlight through trees; gently floating white clouds in a pretty blue sky; bright contrasting colors that are shockingly beautiful.
